Why Become a Christian
?
Introduction
God loves us and has a wonderful plan for
each one of our lives; Within this divine plan, He has good purpose
for each one of us to receive His love, so that we can come to
know what true love is, and to further share His awesome love
with others.
Beyond our most glorious dream, every person
who becomes a Christian inherits a multitude of blessings including
God's promise of rest, peace, comfort, spiritual strength, security,
eternal life which is immortality, and fullness of Joy.
The God of Christianity, is the Most High
God with all authority far above every other so called god or
gods in the universe. He is the only true God by nature; for
all peoples of every nation and every island throughout the world.
There consists three separate divine persons
that reign collectively as the one true Deity. They are ; God
the Almighty Father, called YaHWeH or " I AM ", God
the Son, who is Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ, who was sent from God the
Father, fully demonstrated God's love towards us so that we might
understand how to love the way God intended. The awesome love
that Jesus Christ gave in word and deed in so many ways, are recorded
in the Word of God, the Bible.
A Christian is a person who follows the
teachings of Jesus Christ and desires to learn and grow in God's
love and goodness. They purpose to love God with all their heart,
mind, soul and strength, and to love others as Jesus Christ loved
us.
God desires to exceedingly bless us and
give us a complete new and better life now, so enriched with His
goodness and beyond our limited comprehension. Any person who
believes and follows Jesus Christ can be a Christian and receive
the spiritual benefits and eternal rewards, regardless of their
past. God has also promised to provide for our basic physical
and material needs if we seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness.
Yet, for many of us, we might be somewhat
satisfied with our present lifestyle, success or other religious
beliefs other than Christianity and see no reason to become a
Christian. However, there are several vital life relating reasons
why everyone should not only consider, but rather wisely choose
to become a Christian.
