Why become a Christian ? Now this is a matter of personal choice. You have to want to be one. Here are some reasons: 1) God promises an eternal life
with no sorrow or tears
to those accepted into His kingdom. This life on earth is
not even one minute long compared to eternity. But this
life hear has a lot of trouble, pains and sorrow where the
promised life has joy and contentment. Now that is a long
time to live and not many are wanting to die soon unless
their life is full of troubles. So Christians live by
faith in the hope of God's promise of eternal life
2) A
greater power. While people are troubled by
various problems here on earth the non-believer has no
higher power to turn to. When one begins to follow
Jesus he now has the power of the Holy Spirit to call
upon in times of need. God hears his children when
they pray to Him and helps them as a father helps his
children. God knows what's best for us and provides
blessings abundantly to those who are faithful. So the
Christian has the advantage of a very powerful and
wealthy Father while all others are on their own 3) To
overcome evil. Because the world is full of
evil and troubles. God wants His followers to help reduce
hunger, poverty, suffering, hatred, dishonesty, crime, oppression and
other evils. Christians are learning to become honest, loving, caring
citizens, increasing the good while reducing the evil. The more
Christians the better off everyone else can be 4) Comfort insurance. To keep yourself out of the burning hell that is reserved for the devil and his followers. Suffering and misery is reserved for those who chose evil over good. God is a righteous judge, He knows your thoughts and heart. There are no secrets from God, what you do in private is only hidden from other humans. All men are going to die and be judged, all men have sinned and are guilty of death, you need Jesus as sacrifice to cover your sins or you will be judged a sinner. If a spirit within is is of evil and not of God, that spirit will be removed from the presence of God and thrown into the lake of fire to burn forever. Better to let God into your heart today and start His Spirit growing their now, you could die any day (you never know) and then your chance is over forever. |

What Proof is there of God 1) Natural
Evidence. Nature itself is one big sign. Scientist believe
that all life evolved over a long time, but they can't find any missing
links to show how one form of life turned into another. That is harder to
believe than that God created it. There are thousands of totally different
kinds of animals, reptiles, animals, birds, fish, insects and plants all
over the earth. Each kind different in many ways and each kind reproduces
itself naturally using various methods. Then all the dinosaurs and most of
other life forms were wiped out when a big meteor struck earth millions of
years ago. How then did all these newer forms of life evolve all over
again in the shorter period since then. It would be a lot like putting all
the parts or raw materials for a car engine in the wash machine and
turning it on for millions of years and then having it all come together
and start running and improving itself. 2) The
Jewish Nation. The Jewish people are another great evidence
of God. The whole Old Testament is a history and prophecy about them. The
Bible says they would be scatter all over the earth, and they are. It says
they would be persecuted and hated, and they are. It claims the Holy Land
of Israel and Jerusalem would be the fought over, destroyed and rebuilt, and it is. The Bible
prophecies the Jews would one day return to the Holy land and now they are
starting to return. It claims that the dry wasted desert would become like
the Garden of Eden and that has started happing already too. The Bible
says that the Jewish people would be blessed and prosperous and we see a
large percentage of successful Jewish people living in upscale areas, many
with their own business or a good job. Archeologists are finding
more and more evidence that Bible stories did take place and Bible
prophecy is expected to all come true. 3) Evidence
of Spirits. There is evidence of spirits, good and bad if
you look for it. Stories of paranormal phenomena, haunted houses, fortune
tellers, séances to wake the dead, witchcraft, angelic visitors,
spiritual healers, demon possession and exorcism. So if you look (even on
the web) you will find a lot of evidence that spirits exist. If spirits
and demons exist, then you better hope they are not all evil. That is what
Christians do, hope and trust in the Holy Spirit of God, a spirit of love,
joy, peace, kindness, truth and justice. 4) Time and Date. The whole calendar system is based on years since Jesus Christ was on earth. The expression A.D. refers to the latin expression Anno Domino which means, the year of our Lord (the Lord must have been there). Before that years are recorded as B.C. (Before Christ). Something significant must have happened back then because almost the whole earth uses that dating system, counting backwards and forward from the time of Christ. Around that time, during the Roman empire, history records persecution of Christians and also the start of the Roman Catholic Church based on some of the Bible teaching. Since then many different denominations have grown, all teaching Jesus as Savior. There is evidence it all happened back then and the Church has been growing ever since just as God planned it. 5) Faith. Now all the above is logical and circumstantial evidence of a God, but that is all. This is because men are saved by faith in Jesus and not because it has been proved to them. If there was indisputable proof then there would be no need for faith and everyone would know the truth. That is not the plan of God. Though He gives most all a chance for salvation, not everyone believes, not everyone accepts it and not everyone who accepts it uses the gifts of God to there fullest potential. God wants you to believe from the heart, without doubt, and enough to obey His will and enough to allow His Spirit to grow in you. For some help with this, find some mature Christians and ask them why they have no doubt that God lives, loves them, answers their prayers and helps them throughout their life and nothing can change their mind about it. Their individual life experiences are proof enough for them, and yours will be for you too, once God starts working in your life. |
How to become a Christian 1) Repent, admit you are a sinner, you are not alone, all
have sinned. God wants you humble, not perfect. Resolve to let God start
changing your life. Jesus came to save sinners from death, He did not come
to call the righteous 2) Come to realize that God
loves you even though you are a sinner. So much love that he sent his Son
Jesus to die for your sins. God made a way for you to become a child of
God and heir to the Kingdom of Heaven 3) Fully believe in your
heart, (have faith), that God sent his Son Jesus to die as sacrifice for
you sins and then raised him from death to be the King of Kings. If God
did not raise Jesus from the dead then he won't raise you either. It is
required that you believe it, faith is the requirement for salvation, you
cannot be saved from doing good deeds or because your mother believes. You
must believe it or you are dead in your sins with no hope. There is no other way
4) Call upon or pray to the
Lord Jesus. Ask Him to come into your heart and show you the way He wants
you to live. Jesus wants to give you salvation and a lot more but
you must ask Him first 5) Next you learn to live
according to His will. Become a servant of God rather than a servant of
sin. Surrender your will to His will. The biggest rule is to love God and
to love the rest of the people. To love God is to obey Him. To love people
is to show care and kindness to them, all of them 6) Read and study the bible, a
little each day. The bible is the book God gave us to teach us how to
live. The Old Testament is the history of the Jewish nation (Jesus is a
Jew) and also the prophecy for the future. The New Testament is about the
life and attitude of Jesus and the first Christians. Both Old and New
Testaments are full of instructions for wise and prosperous living,
promises to those who obey it and warnings for those who don't. It is a
master guide book for Christians, new and old. It is a big book and will
take several readings before you can grasp the whole picture, so get
started now and keep it up 7) What else should you do
next ?

Don't want to become one now It's your choice and no one is forcing you. The Lord says "many are called but few are chosen". This club is for Christians only because God desires us to find other Christian mates. There are many other sites on the web, plenty of bars and other ways to meet people. The people in this club do not want to date you until you turn your life to Christ. We wish you would reconsider for your own sake and maybe someday you will see the light. In the meantime please do not sign up here.
