Hi Faisal & welcome to Christian Forums! It takes great courage to even think about becoming a Christian in a Muslim country like Pakistan. It is Jesus that is drawing you to Himself, just as He says in the Bible, in John 12:32,
32 اور مجھے بھی زمین سے اٹھا لیا جائیگا جب ایسا ہوگا میں سب لوگوں کو اپنے پاس لے لونگا۔”
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”
I do not know what to tell you concerning the problems you face after becoming a Christian, however, I can tell you that becoming a Christian is the right thing to do and the best decision you will ever make, regardless of what difficulties lie ahead. I am praying for you, that God will draw you all the way unto Himself, will open up your mind to the full understanding of becoming a Christian and of salvation, that is found only in Jesus. Just as Peter said, in Acts 4:12, when he was talking about Jesus,
12 کیا تو ہمارے باپ یعقوب سے بڑا ہے جس نے ہمیں یہ کنواں دیا ہے ؟اور خود وہ اسکے بیٹے اور اسکے مویشی نے اس سے پانی پیا ہے۔”
12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
I see that you've gotten many responses already. Please know, Christian Forums is a very diverse community, of Christian & non-Christian peoples from all over the world.
