Phil (Australia)

Meet Phil

Phil talks about how he was living for himself. He had no interest in spiritual things until a friend encouraged him to read the Bible. Reluctantly, Phil started doing Bible study with his friend. He talks about how scripture made sense to him. Phil believed that salvation comes through grace, and he understood it was all about what Jesus did for him – not what he could do for Jesus. Phil shares that he no longer lives for himself but puts Christ first, followed by his wife and son.
