Riaan Swiegelaar,the co-founder of a Satanist movement in South Africa has severed ties with the group after experiencing the unconditional love of Jesus Christ.The co-founder who served as a reverend at the South African Satanic Church (SASC), discussed this in a Facebook live video; he said, “To be very honest, I initially thought, ‘I will slip out the back door quietly,’ and I didn’t really think that people would be this interested in why I am doing what I’m doing. I’m going to talk from my experience. I’m going to talk about my choices.”Swiegelaar admitted that “only four Christians” have shown him what unconditional love is. “I’ve never known unconditional love in my whole life, and up to today, there’s only four Christians in my whole life that have shown me what unconditional love is. I want to thank those four people, words cannot express what you have done for me,” he said while holding back tears.“To show someone love is everything, It is not a simple thing. You have showed me everything. You have showed me the love of Christ. I have seen it in you,” Swiegelaar added.What prompted Swiegelaar to leave Satanism was a recent experience with unconditional Christian love following an interview he did on the CapeTalk radio station, while he was still a member of the SASC.He explained that a woman working for the station came up to him after the interview and showed him God’s love in an unexpected way.“I told her, ‘I don’t believe in Jesus, and I don’t believe Jesus Christ exists’ because I didn’t. She came to me after the interview, after I said that, and she hugged me, and she held me in a way that I’ve never been loved,” Swiegelaar said. “That’s all she did. She just said it was nice to meet me in person.”A week later, he read her status on WhatsApp and discovered she was a Christian.“I’ve never had a Christian do that,” he explained. “I’ve never experienced a Christian show that much love and acceptance unconditionally after I said the things I said, she did that, that stayed with me.”At the conclusion of the video, Swiegelaar told his viewers that he will be posting written materials about his newfound connection with Christ.ALSO READ Khari Willis Abandons NFL For Advancement Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ
