Hey everybody, I'm new to CAA.
I'm a big anime fan and gaming fan, and think I'll be right at home here.
I was saved just over a year ago.
I had always mentally assented to the truths of the Bible since a young age, but never intentionally trusted in the Lord Jesus for eternal life until then. Growing up, I got theologically confused on several fronts, and saw salvation as a partially works-based system where God would forgive me of my past sins, but any future infractions would result in my being lost again- Needless to say, this works-based salvation was not true saving faith, and I got burnt out with it and fell right back into sin before long. So for years, I lived for myself and my own selfish desires, and cared not for the things of God. Until about a year ago.
I won't get into the details of what I was doing, but I had been living in unrepentant, unconfessed sin for years and hadn't felt a thing about it. Until suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt a tremendous sense of uneasiness on my heart, which led me to seek out scriptures and passages about salvation and what saving faith was. After about a month of wrestling with the issue, I finally placed my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and am to this day resting on who he is, what he has done, and what he has promised for my eternal destiny.
My life has been anything but perfect since then, but I know that I've been changed by the Holy Spirit living within me. I know that I'm no longer the same person I used to be. Though I may fail and fall, I no longer enjoy sin as I used to, and cannot go for too long in my sins before the Lord convicts me and makes disobedience to him an absolutely miserable experience- In a way, this is tremendously comforting, because it reminds me that I am his.
I know that I need to grow spiritually and commit more of myself to the Lord, and that I fall short in many ways, but my hopes are based fully and completely on the finished work of Christ for my salvation, and I'm trusting him fully day by day.
I hope to be part of the community here, and think I'll enjoy it.
I'm new.

"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

I think my favorite anime would be Detective Conan (aka Case Closed). I enjoy mystery stories, and I always find Kogorou Mouri (aka Richard Moore) hilarious.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Just a little something you should know, be careful when around Nami. She's usually not dangerous, but.. there have been incidents.
Anyway, welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here!

welcome!
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.
