In a Facebook video post on sister Jessa Duggar's account, Jinger Duggar opened up and shared her own personal story of salvation. Accompanying Jinger in the video is Jessa's husband Ben Seewald.

In the video, Jinger recounts how she grew up in a Christian household and realized at an early age that she needed a Savior in her life. She explained that, by nature, she was a sinner just like everybody else. The turning point in her life came at the age of fourteen years old when she approached her parents and recognized what she needed the most in her life.

"I really need Jesus because I know that in my own self, I won't be able to get into heaven. I cannot save myself from sin. And so at that point I was totally broken from sin and I said, 'God, the only thing I need right now is Your forgiveness and that will only come from You and You just give me the strength to do that," she said.

She acknowledged the role God played in saving her from her sins and because of that, she has taken on the responsibility of helping others find the same kind of salvation. She added that we can see people in need around us, but sometimes, there are no outward signs that they are in need of help. She then shared that at time it can be difficult, but with help from Jesus Christ, then all things are possible.

Jinger's brother-in-law Ben echoed her sentiments and added his own thoughts on the matter. "We're just sinners saved by grace. I was God's enemy until I turned to God to save me and He showed me my need for Him," he said.

In addition to the video post, Jessa's Facebook account contains a multitude of posts that aim to inspire and share their love of God with others.
