It happened. I was strong in my faith and I have fell into doubt. I am doubting Christianity and the Bible. I see some many things speaking of false religions and I am wondering what if Christianity is really a false religion. Is Christianity the true religion? How do you know it is? Regions like Islam claim they are true. What if Christianity is really the deception, which I don’t think it is. I am trying to pray hard to get a confirmation from God that Christianity is true. Hopefully, sometime soon God can reveal the truth to me. Can someone help me.
Kota,
The Word is God's powerful witness to us that Christianity is the One True faith. Do you know any other religion which holds a so-called holy book which reads as a deity had written it? Only the Holy Bible can live up to that standard. The Bible offers us a salvation through finely woven threads. These threads all confirm the same central message. Furthermore, the many, many accounts in Scripture were penned, under inspiration, of not one prophet, but 40+ prophets, yet no contradictions appear. The fact that Christ fulfilled the 400 or so Messianic prophecies also is a miracle itself...especially by human standards for this fact defies the statistical laws of probability.
Here is a wonderful little spec of an example of how marvelous Scripture is...
Matthew 13:52-53:
He said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained as a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure both new things and old things.”
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he left that place.

Philippians 3:4-6:
even though I have grounds for confidence also in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 in regard to zeal, persecuting the church; in regard to the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.

We know Paul brought forth "treasures from the Law both new and old" just as Jesus said such a trained man of God would...
I Corinthians 9:9-11:
Yes, it is written in the
Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain.” Is God really concerned about oxen, or does he say this entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher ought to thresh in hope of getting a share. If we sowed spiritual seed for your good, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

Following is another sample of Paul bringing out treasures from the Law...
II Corinthians 8:13-15:
Certainly, our goal is not that others take it easy while you are burdened, but that there may be equality. 14 At the present time, your abundance will provide what they lack, in order that their abundance will also provide what you lack—in this way there will be equality. 15 As it is written, “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”

One could go on, but you see that the more one reads Scripture the more one is able to detect the binding of the threads and that makes it a whole indeed, a cloth to clothe us a means in which to be clothed with Christ. Use this beautiful love letter from God, the Bible, to strengthen your faith knowing that if you repent your faithlessness He will graciously receive you back and fully restored for ...
II Timothy 2:11-13:
Indeed, if we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him;
If we deny him, he will also deny us;
13
If we are faithless, he remains faithful, because he cannot deny himself.
