Jesus Christ gave himself so that I can be saved and endure everlasting life with Him in heaven.

Dude, we can only say one thing?! Cos, seriously, there are so many things.

I'd say, actually, that I'm just so grateful that I know Him. You get to know Him better the more time you spend with Him, just like with anyone, and He's honestly just astonishing. I mean, think about it. He never once sinned. He never once hurt someone, or belittled someone; He never lauded His amazingness over anyone; He is God, and yet He is still so humble He got on His knees and washed the feet of His disciples; He is so full of compassion and love, He was brutalized on our behalf, and even when we deny Him, He just goes on loving us. It's extraordinary.

He is the cleverest, kindest, most honest, funniest, warmest, most forgiving, least judgemental, most humble person that has ever lived, and will ever live, and am just so incredibly grateful and thankful to be able to call Him my best friend. Getting to know Him is like winning the lottery

"God is the least judgemental person who ever lived"???

I don't know what Bible you're reading, but mine says a lot about God's judgement.

Sounds like you're creating a god in your own image.

What do you do with verses like Matthew 25:41?

I believe you've misquoted me When we are saved, we become new, we are covered in His Blood, and we are no longer judged. He didn't judge sinners, He loved them. We will all face final judgement, but Jesus died because He loves us so much, sin and flaws n all.

Again, where are you getting this stuff? The Bible says just the opposite of what you're claiming.

What a wonderful question! How to narrow it down to just one thing???

My top 3 would be joy, peace, and faithfulness. I suppose, my number one is faithfulness.

I am glad I am a Christian because God is faithful to keep His promises to me.

See, I have had a rough go of it in the last three years. Long story, short, my husband's health has suffered tremendously, and as a result so has our finances. However, God has provided. Even to the point, where I was trying to figure out how to get my son a new pair of glasses so he could take drivers ed. I worried, and shouldn't have, but I worried about it for one week. Then, my son comes home with an e-mail from one of his teachers saying that Sears was giving away free glasses for anyone who needed them. He got his free pair and took drivers ed.

That is but a drop in the bucket, just an example. God is faithful, and I do not know how I would have gotten through the last several years without Him.

That I am in relationship with God. And all that it means. Never alone. Having a joy and peace that is beyond understanding. Knowing that I can never fail, because God is in control of my life.

And it does work.

Try it. You won't be dissapointed.

The one thing is the peace that comes from being a Christian. In the bad times I know the Lord is using it in some way for me to become stronger, gain understanding, or possibly to bear the load of someone that may not be able to.

It also shines when times are good. When the Lord blesses you with good times enjoy and know that they are a gift happily given.

Good, bad, indiferent; the Lord is always in control and that is the most conforting part of being a Christian for me.
