Well, John Piper is a Christian.

That's not a secret.

But how was he converted?

When was he converted?

Where was he converted?

All questions you want to know.

And I see them in the inbox with frequency.

And they are questions I think I can help answer today in a sermon clip from a 1998 sermon

on the book of Romans.

Here Pastor John is sharing the story of his life as it's been woven into the book of

Romans.

And as the book of Romans has been woven into his life, it's a very close relationship.

Obviously, here's what Pastor John said.

I don't remember my conversion.

I was six.

My daddy tells me at my mother's knee and for a lauderdale, Florida, at a motel on vacation.

In 1952, all I remember is believing.

I've always believed as far as I can remember.

I'm sure that's not true since we come into the world bit out of shape by sin, but whatever

God did in my life to make me a believer, he did so early, I don't remember it happening.

A lot of you in this room are in that position and you sort of regret it because you don't

have any stunning testimonies to tell about how you were saved.
