Why should I be a Christian
I don’t know about you but I just had a sense someone bigger than I was calling me. I didn’t know how to explain it, I then started questioning my identity and who was bigger than myself and where I’d end up when I die and learned about Jesus and His plan of redemption. I understood it and believed it.
What good is there is there in any of believing in God?
Peace, rest, communion, restoration...
When and where would God ever offer any help because it seems he is not around?
Is there insight on this by anyone who is well mature than thouself?
All of the time, sometimes the problem is that we expect God to work how we want Him to work instead of accepting how He decides to work.
Why should you be a Christian, what is the point?
Even though I went through hard seasons of pruning and death to self, I realized that God wanted to strip me off anything that wasn't my identity in Him; lies and behavior that wasn’t part of who I am. It’s like a child who was adopted and he came into a new family with an old identity so the new father is helping the child develop new patterns of thinking to help him succeed and function in the Kingdom. God is like that with us, but He doesn’t force us, He goes as far as we are willing to go. When you grow, you finally realize the huge sacrifice He did for us. I mean, if you were in the Garden of Eden you would've sinned as well. People don’t realize God lost His creation, we disconnected from Him. I have a betta fish and I get to look at it up close and I see how delicate he is and all of its details. Then I think about the human body, how perfect it is and how it grows from something you can only see through a microscope into this amazing living being that can walk, think, talk and express love, not like the trees that they are living and can’t move, but we are the walking image of the glory of God, His ambassadors on Earth So, we sinned against our Creator, we separated ourselves from Him and tried ruling Earth without Him, yet He didn’t want us to die without Him and be separated for eternity when this timeline ends that He created a law so that only He could fulfill it and unite us with Him again. I don’t know about you, but I have so much gratitude that following Him and obeying Him is my thank you to Him.
