3rd Generation Atheist Meets Jesus, Gets Shown The Door

Sy Garte is a 3rd generation atheist. He went on to become a scientist and in his education, Garte found many inconsistencies between what he was taught as a kid and what science was showing him. Garte found that there were many things happening that science could not explain. This gave him the idea that there must be something beyond his education and earthly knowledge. Garte encountered Jesus in a vivid dream of his, in which Jesus showed him the door toward faith. Since then, Garte became a believer in Christ and is willing to share the story of his conversion.

Without God we have nothing and apart from Him we are nothing. 🙏💕

[reyhudson]

I was a hard nut, much like him, a proselytizing atheist, but it was based, largely, on accepting evolution: hook, line and sinker. One day, in my early 20s, I was walking through a field and - as we often do - plucked a twig from a bush, as I passed.

Upon looking at it closely, I saw that it was beautiful. In that second, my whole evolution AND atheism bubble popped. It hit me SO clearly, by pure logic. If there is a function, evolution could be used to explain it (even though the mathematics don't work: too many "lucky" combinations would need to happen even if you had hundreds of BILLIONS of years) no, but there is no explanation, in evolution, for beauty: null, zero, zipp! In that moment, without any preacher, or Bible or anyone speaking to me besides logic, I realized that beauty has to be CREATED by something that UNDERSTANDS beauty; that there MUST be s Creator.

THEN, I got a Bible!

This is so beautiful! I’m both a practicing Catholic and a professional physicist and the more I study science the more I see God.

My Dad was a Buddhist for 30 something yrs.Although the chanting and practice did make him happier and many benefits I won't go into now, he became very ill in his last yrs.When he was dying he told me he saw Jesus when he was chanting Buddhist prayers.He stopped Buddhism then and there before he died.

I'm 70 years old and have heard quite a few testimonies. This one has to rank near the very top of the list. Very sincere and touching. His straight forward approach makes him so likeable and maybe that's part of the reason why.

[johnwashlack]

I love his comment, "faith is a gift we just have to accept it". well said.

[tinaaronu]

Awesome testimony, praise God who never gave up on this man. HALLELUJAH!!

[firstamendment]

There will be no better words to hear, than: "Well done, my good and faithful servant." I long to hear those words!

[danielmcneely]

I was an agnostic in my early twenties. While I was taking anatomy and physiology in college I also came across uncomfortable inconsistencies. I started to get the feeling that none of this was by accident. It still took many years before I finally opened my heart and mind to Jesus, and it was just as profound as he describes.

[douglasciserella]

Jesus also came to me in a dream. He is truly God truly supreme. He bends my knee with his love and mercy. He is my King

[dr.anthonytrabue]

Also came from atheism into conversion and salvation (in my late 30's). I love to hear these stories. All start in different places, but end up in the same place: God's family.

[TheBelegur]

I have been a Christian since 1976 and your is one of the most honest, touching, and sincere testimonies I have ever heard.

[truckerbates]

I was raised in church and I called myself an atheist after I had been baptized several times and said the sinner prayer at least a hundred times. It wasn't until October of '04 that I got on my knees at my couch and prayed like I never had before and asked God to forgive me and help me that I became saved. I started listening to Christian music, listening to preaching on YouTube and radio and I haven't been the same since. You have to truly believe and seek Jesus to become saved. It's not about saying simple words. God wants your heart. ❤

[javaskull]

That is such a beautiful story. Jesus meets us where we are, speaks our language, and shows us the way.

[SherryceStAmant]

Yes, the gospel of Jesus is simple. Just go through the door! Beautiful testimony, amen!

[liawolpin]

Dreams can sometimes be powerful... I had a supernatural experience when I was eight only years old, (after having gone to sleep one night), of seeing Jesus in heaven, which was by far the single most profound experience of my life, for there I felt a love in a way I never felt before! There I was in heaven surrounded by brilliance, and Jesus stood across a river clear as crystal gazing into my eyes, and I could actually feel His love surging through my entire being! This experience had stuck with me over the years, and in difficult times when I feel I need more love, I go back to this experience in my mind.

I was raised in the Catholic faith, I went to church every Sunday, I always tried to be good to others and so and so, but it was until I got married that I started to really get a closer look at my faith. At one point, my husband and I were in a hard situation and I was worried sick I was walking to church with my 3yo son immersed in my worries when I heard a beautiful soothing voice that said to me: Why are you so worried?? Didn´t you put everything in my hands?? At that moment I stopped walking and I remembered that months ago I went to church and said to Jesus: Dear Lord, you know me, you know that my husband and I want to do this, please help me, help our family. I put everything in your hands!! I forgot about that until He reminded me 😭😭😭 I NEVER doubt Him again!! We don´t deserve God´s love (especially in my case) still I´m so thankful every day and I want to be the best that I can be to repay Him for all the blessings that I receive all the time. Life is not easy but knowing that He is there for you makes it better, stronger, and happier. Your testimony made me cry because you and I are not the only ones. Dear Jesus, please go and find your little lost sheep and bring them home!! Amen.

[jimwilson]

An amazing testimony! I was lucky. My mother instilled Christianity into me. A wonderful gift!

[ceciliasandoval]

It's so wonderful when you can look back at the path you've been on to God.
