What was it that made you come to believe on Jesus?

Question

In other words what event made you decide to give Jesus a try and believe on Him the first time.

Answer 1

i din believe in Jesus before. I din know why would someone wana die for my sake and for others when he din know us at all. I thought that it was beyond my understanding. And i used to think christianity was another religion, trying to preach to me all its goodness so that the religion could grow. I guess i was so confused when It's all so simple. God love us so much, he gave up someone, that someone is Jesus to just die for us so that we can be near him again. It took me some time to figure it out. Who is this man Jesus, is he an imaginary figure?

But I gave him a chance and gave myself a chance when i first knew him a year ago at a random visit to Church. If you wana know who he is, you have to go find out more about him with an open mind. Jesus won't force you, God does not force anyone to accept him just like that. God wants you to know him slowly, be convinced that he is the one and then you accept him.
I went with an openmind to find out who Jesus was and I went back knowing who he is. Jesus is like a friend ,afterall this time i tried to figure out who he was. He is like the best friend you can have, he's there all the time to comfort you and love you...and Jesus does not care what wrongs you have done before. Your best friend forgives you no matter what you did and accepts you the way you are. Well, I found out that Jesus is that kind of friend.
Hope that you give Jesus a chance.

Answer 2

For me, I had just left an abusive relationship and my
life was on the line. My husband had a gun out and was
going to shoot me. I ran...and got on a plane to San
Fran. On the plane I was shaking uncontrollably and
looked out the window...we were above the clouds...the
beauty of what I was looking at just flooded me until
nothing else was there...peace filled me. I heard
myself say, "God, if you're really there...I put my
life in Your hands. I've failed miserably at
everything...I can't do it anymore." And then I
finally started crying. The sobs came from deep inside
me, all the repressed fear, hurt, pain came flooding
out. And then I heard a gentle whisper in my
head..."I've always had you...you've never been out of
my sight...I even saw you when you tied your first
shoelace." And then it was like a liquid warmth filled
me. I thought I would melt into oblivion. It was like
I had given Him my mess, and He would give me His
help. And He did.

When I got off the plane it was as though everyone
went out of their way to help me. I found a place to
live, a job, and found that I was right across the
street from a christian community. After I got settled
I heard the gentle voice again. He said, "I want you
to meet My Son." So I went into a meeting at the
christian center and heard about Jesus. I learned
about the Gift God offers through Him. And having
experienced God first hand I had no trouble receiving
what His Son had to Give, and what He had to Say. So,
it didn't begin with a Book for me, it began with an
encounter. The Book came later.

Answer 3

I used to believe in God almost as hedging my bet, kind of like just in case. Then when my first child was born everything changed. When I saw him come out and he was so perfect and a combination of me, my wife, and somebody completely all together different. I knew. It was no longer faith it became knowledge. Life is planned, designed, it was created. Not by chance or evolution, but by divine action. Take a piece of paper and throw it to the floor. Does it land as a folded paper air plane? It could happen, but the odds are about a billion to one. Now take some amino acids and combine them to get an eco system that can support itself for thousands of years with a diversity of life forms that is beyond belief. Without help, the odds of this happening are incalculable.

Answer 4

I was pregnant with my daughter. I was told undoubtedly that she had Down's Syndrome. Every night I cried myself to sleep from the day I found out until the night before my induction. 4 months straight I looked into the set up crib wondering what would look back at me in just a few months. I worried about who would take care of her if something happened to me. I worried about others reactions and how my other children would react. I cried and prayed whole heartedlyevery night until I cried myself. to sleep to this man called Jesus that was supposed to love me so much. Please,please, please I would beg. I even asked for 10years off my life and a horrible death in exchange for her health. My daughter was born. She is completely normal and nobody can explain why. I can.

Answer 5

For me it was when my husband first came out of prison, he had got saved in there, and he was a totally diffrent person. One Sunday he asked me to go to church with him, so I went, they prayed for me and all the pain and suffering I lived with for so many years was gone. That was somethng a that a therapist or drug could never do for me. I began to understand what was met by living in the light.
