Why am I a Christian?

I agree with a lot of comments on here and would like to add a couple.

First Why do I believe in God

1. The fact that I'm still alive is enough to make me know that there is something out there.

2. While evidence is still being compiled, last I checked the Bible has not been refuted once, nor do I find any errors in it. When was the last time you found a book that could never be disproven? A book that mostly written first hand? A book that has correctly told of things that were to come? (Granted that lies a little in the interpretation, yet I take the Bible as verbatium)

3. Everything in nature is too perfect to be a random coincidence.

Now as for my reasons for believing in Christ . . .

1. If you believe in God, then you alternatively must believe in Satan.

2. If Satan exists, there is a place for damned souls to go, known as hell.

3. Because hell is considered for those who want to lead a rightous life and a blessed afterlife, a place they want nothing to do with, they would prefer to live with God, our creator.

4. We know that only a "Sinless" person can get into heaven, since everyone sins, that would make heaven a lonely place.

5. God told us he was going to send a Messiah, a Saviour as it were, and then this babe in a manger was born named Jesus.

6. According to history, There is evidence that Jesus was a real person and did walk this earth. So to me that starts giving a bit of credibility to the story, and once you understand that Jesus was a real man, you must begin to look at the stories in the New Testament to see if they hold any weight.

7. Christ was born in the exact way that the old testiment required, being born of the lineage of David the King.

8. After prophesizing to his people and these things coming to pass, and performing miracles that weren't possible, feats such as feeding five thousand people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, making the dead rise, walking on water, healing the sick . . . oh, and the whole resurrection of himself thing, we find that he is more than just a man.

9. When asked who he is, he claimed he was the Son of God, when asked what to do to get into heaven, he answered, Believe in me.

10. Knowing that, and the fact that he bore all of our sins with him on the cross, we can purge our sins through that faith in him.

That pretty much sums it up.
