I'm confused about whether I'm a Christian now or if I'm ready to be soon.

[QUOTE="AlexDTX, post: 73480146, member: 377834"] Trusting Christ and knowing him is an individual journey. In my case it was a dramatic change but I know of people who came to know the Lord in a gradual process. Do you believe that God became the man Christ Jesus? This is crucial because if you believe He did not, then your trust is in your own imagination. Do you believe that your life is not right with God and that you need his help to be right? Also crucial if you trust in your own works, then you leave no room for his grace to be given since you don't actually trust him. Do you believe that with God anything is possible, even raising the man Christ Jesus from the dead? Also pivotal because this is the faith needed for our own resurrection. Although, everyone will be resurrected, those who rejected Christ's gift, to damnation, and those who accepted it to immortality. If you answered yes, and have believed this in your heart, and have confessed your belief, then you are a Christian. Doubt is the human condition. But doubt diminishes as your experience with Christ increases. By the way, being a skeptic increases your faith. How? Because when you are convinced after skeptically examining the Lord, there is nothing left to undermine your confidence. So be encouraged. Be a skeptic and know for your self the truth. [/QUOTE]
