From Hatred to Overwhelming Love

My name is Khaled, I am 43 years old, from Morocco. I used to be an extremely strict Muslim, filled with hatred towards Christians and Jews, with no place for them in my heart. One day, I was at a junk market and noticed a man selling old books, including the Bible. I asked him about the price, and he told me to take it for free and burn it away from him. Out of curiosity or perhaps to find errors in it to prove to myself that it was indeed corrupted, I decided to read it. But strangely, with every page I read, I found no corruption but light and truth. One of the verses I couldn’t forget was “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you.” I wondered how Christ could ask his followers to love their enemies. I began comparing Christ’s teachings with what I believed, and I was shocked by what I found. At that moment, I decided to follow Christ and accept him as my Savior.
