Hello friend,
In my experience, one of
the most commonly asked questions in the Christian community today is, “Why
should I accept Christ?” I like this question because it can receive such a
simple answer. Naturally as human beings we can’t help but think that there is
some kind of higher power out there. Maybe you are someone who claims to know
God but questions who He is, or maybe you have always known God and you don’t
doubt his existence at all. Either way, it is always nice to get some further
clarification on who He is and why we should follow him. In Romans 1:20 it says
“For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the
things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” People will often
question where we came from, and why we are here. Some claim that random matter
just formed from a big bang in the universe. But all we really have to do is
read God’s word to know where we came from. The Bible tells us where we came
from. In Genesis it states that God created the heavens and the earth, and that
he also created mankind. By reading further through the word of God, we come to
the understanding that He is a morally upright, logical, and all powerful being
who gave us an instruction manual with rules and guidelines. It would be
foolish for us to deny the existence of a being this amazing who only wants the
best for us. The Bible also states though that if anyone is caught up in the
sins of the world, and does not choose Christ as their savior, then they will
spend an eternity in the lake of fire. Now with knowing that, he also told us
how to be saved. The Bible says in Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” It is so simple, but in too many cases
someone will say the prayer, and there is no proof in their life. They will
claim to know Christ, but they will still be caught up in the ways of the
world. Thankfully, God has given us The Bible, and the strength (through the
Holy Spirit) to overcome the trials and temptations of the world. All we have
to do is have faith in Him.
In Christ,
