I am a 24-year-old muslim, a young friend of mine who found your forum while researching Christianity. I was a topic in the forum recently. I have some questions? I was very interested in Christianity, I am very peaceful. Is there any historical and other data to prove that Christianity is true for me? Why should I abandon my religion as a Muslim and convert to this religion? I want you to help me on such matters.❤️
Dear one,
This is the gospel that we have heard and have believed:
Truly God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him.
As for the word that He sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all),
As many have known what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed:
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
And apostles are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They, the lawless men put him to death by hanging him on a tree,
but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, not to all the people but to apostles who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
And he ( Jesus Christ ) commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
To him ( Jesus Christ ) all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
Dear one,
We thank God, that He has kept us in His mercy, has caused us to be born again to living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Also through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, God has caused to have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us, who believe.
This inheritance, are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully,
inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories.
It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.
Therefore, dear one, prepare your mind for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that is brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
So dear one, pray this prayer if you ready to receive the grace of repentance through the Lord Jesus Christ:
Dear God,
I am a sinner. I cannot save myself I know according to Your Word that I cannot make myself righteous, but I thank You because You love me, and You sent the Lord Jesus Christ to die for me. And through His righteousness, redemption is made available to me. I believe that Jesus died for my sins according to the Scripture. I believe that He was raised from the dead and is my justification. I confess Jesus now, and I take Him as my Savior.
Amen.
Dear one, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have believed in Christ. Believing in Christ means that we have to obey what our Lord Jesus Christ have taught to be united with him or to be union with him, as he has taught in the Holy Scripture.
Dear one, after you have said the prayer with your mouth and believe in your heart, go and have yourself baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Read what Jesus have said in John 3:3-8 about baptism.
Dear one,
Remember:
For God so loved you, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in the Son should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn you, but in order that you might be saved through the Son. You believes in the Son is not condemned, because you has believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Dear one,
Heed what we have heard from the apostle John:
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater,
for this is the testimony of God that He has borne concerning his Son. -1 John 5:9
Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. -1 John 5:10
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. -1 John 5:11
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. -1 John 5:12
Dear one,
may the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
