Said Peters, “There was a massive component of the Gospel, repentance that I did not understand. I did not know what to do. I did not know to whom I could go. After all, I was ‘Justin Peters.’ I was supposed to have all the answers. But I didn’t. I was a white-washed tomb.”
“In January of 2011, shortly after we moved to Oklahoma, God broke me through various life events and circumstances in His sovereign grace,” Peters shared. “He shattered me. I have always had a sorrow over my sins, but not a genuine godly sorrow.”
After years of ministry, Peters says he was genuinely saved in January of 2011.
“There is a godly sorrow that leads to new life in Christ because it is grounded in the Person of Christ and given by the Person of Christ,” Peters’ testimony reads. “It produces repentance without regret, leading to genuine salvation. God gave me this in January of 2011. I was completely overwhelmed and broken.”
“Sin hurts us, and it hurts others, as did mine. Greatly. My sin was, first and foremost, though, against God. His Person,” he added. “After all that He has done for me in this life and long ago on the cross, my sin is against Him. He is so beautiful, merciful, gracious, and kind in not giving me His wrath, which I deserve. This is when I was genuinely saved.”
In 2013, Peters was re-baptized and re-ordained at First Baptist Church in Texico, New Mexico.
