New member seeking truth.

[d taylor]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and have recently began learning about Christianity.

I grew up in a majority Christian country but was an atheist from a very young age until my mid-twenties when I began challenging my beliefs and concluded there must be a God that created us.

At the moment I don't identify with any religion, I would say I'm Theist. I spend most of my day working and listening to debates about Christianity and have formulated some questions that I would like to ask on here.

I may come across as cynical and atheistic on my questioning, which isn't intentional but following a religion is potantially life changing and I want to seek as much as I can to be convinced.

I recently watched The Case For Christ and that inspired me to seek answers and hopefully have them answered and my mind made up one way or another.

One question I ask myself and I'm still unable to answer is "What would it take to convince you?" - I'm trying to figure that one out, but until then I seek answers to many questions I have that make my slightly doubtful that Christianity is the truth. I've had a lot more doubts about Christianity before and have had my mind changed about a lot of things, namely Jesus' existance and crucifixion. Both I now believe to be true, however, I struggle with the resurrection.

Being a Christian, is not being part of a religion, but becoming a child of God; having a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.


It starts by turning to God. This is what repent means; turn to God.


God is calling you to turn to Him and become His child, and be a part of His kingdom, where you will be a joint heir with His Son Jesus Christ.



Here’s how:

• if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10




God is drawing you by His Spirit. Respond to Him by humbling yourself as a child and turn to Him, confess Jesus Christ as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.



God loves you and desires for you to know Him. He sent His Son to pay the price for your sins on the cross.


Please call upon the name of the Lord today. Today is the day of salvation.
