I have no idea why I believe what I believe, but I cannot help it. I feel like Jesus has revealed himself to me. But when somebody challenges me, I don't know how to explain my beliefs. I know that a lot of non-Christians will say they are sick of people, like me shoving my beliefs down their throats. But I don't shove my beliefs down their throats. I don't shove my beliefs down their throats because I believe it is wrong, and I still have sin in my life, which I believe I will have victory over. I, in fact, do not post Christians stuff on Facebook any more just so my friends won't get offended. But it is not because I am denying Christ, because my friends know what I believe. But most of my friends, except for 2 are not Christians. My brother, who is a friend on Facebook, is also not a Christian. But he knows what I believe. I do not want to offend him.
But on Facebook, I follow Christian pages, and non-Christians follow it as well. And they, who claim we shove our beliefs in their faces, have challenged me if I make a statement. They would challenge me into a debate saying "prove it." I don't have proof, and why do they care if I believe what I believe? Why do I believe in Christ? Well, I haven't really put my trust in him, and he is convicting me of that, which is why I still have sin in my life and heart. So, I guess you can say I haven't been a true Christian. But all of that is changing for me. But why do I believe in Christianity. I don't know. I am drawn to it. And I cannot explain it.
They will say, "How do you know the Bible was inspired by God?" I can't just say "well, I believe by faith." That doesn't look good. But I do believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. I do believe that some day every knee will bow to Jesus. I do believe that Jesus Christ is coming again. But I also know that mere beliefs will not get you into the kingdom of heaven. Here is a question, which is a question I have to ask myself, when I put my trust in Jesus, what did I trust him for? To save me from hell so that I can continue to sin. NO!! Sin and hell are one and the same. If you claim that Jesus saved you from hell, you claim that Jesus saved you from sin. Sin will always lead to death. And I can't continue to sin and claim salvation. It doesn't work that way. We don't go to heaven for the good things we do. However, we go to hell for the bad things we do. I could give to the poor all day long and continue to lust in my heart. I will still end up in hell. But there is grace through Jesus, which is the ability to say no to that sin. For it is written in Titus 2:11-12, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,"
I have not being using the grace that God has offered me through Jesus Christ. But I am choosing now, to put my complete trust in his son, Jesus for his deliverance.
But why do I believe this? I don't know. All I can say is he has revealed me his truth in my heart. And that is just not enough proof for those who are non-Christians. They will tell me that I am indoctrinated. I don't understand how that is possible, but that is what they say.
