Our Kingdom is not of this earth

I have grown up in a christian family my whole life. I go to church every Sunday and I enjoy going to youth on Wednesday. I knew that Jesus was my Lord and Savior and that he died for me and all the people on the earth, but I seemed to not want to become a Christian. Once in 4th Grade I got in trouble and my teacher asked me if I was a fake christian. This led me to question my faith and wonder if I would lead my whole life thinking I was a christian, but going to hell in the end. This scared me for a couple years and I always seemed to shy away from talking with my parents about becoming a christian. One day, however, my mom took me to Matt and had me sit down to talk with him. He said that if I was going to be a fake Christian I would not be asking the questions I was asking him that day. God was pulling on my heart with a string saying, "come with me," and that night I did. -Noah Smith
