"Does He make you happy?" No, I mean does He make you TRULY happy? I'm not talking about a quick fix of entertainment or drugs or sex; I'm talking all-engulfing, soul-filling, heart-enlivening satisfaction that makes your soul sing when you're on your honeymoon or on your deathbed--whenever, wherever you are in life. If He does this for you, then that's it! He is the answer to every man's long-sought quest.
To quote Blaise Pascal, "All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves." So whether athiest or Christian, whether cheerful or suicidal, as humans we scour all our lives for happiness. And as I'll attempt to prove, when in all our scouring we settle for anything less than God Himself (such as sex, drugs, alchohol), we fail in our attempts to fill the metaphorical "hole in our soul".
To quote Jesus (God), it says in John 4:13-14 (NKJV), "Jesus answered and said to her, 'Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.'" Everyone temporarily fills their physical thirst and satisfies it for a time, but they must always return and get more. Jesus explains that whoever drinks the water He gives to them, they'll be satisfied and won't need to keep coming back to the temporary satisfactions to fill them. Obviously He's speaking not of physical water, but of spiritual, the water that fills the "hole in the soul" and quenches its thirst; His water.
In the end, the question can be rendered, "Does He satisfy you?" or "Does He make you truly happy?" And my answer is yes. Ohhhh yess He does : ) through Jesus Christ.

What was the event or course of events that made you believe in God and Jesus 100%? That is a question that I have asked before and I seem to be getting really great answers.

I'm a Christian ... a question an unbeliever might want to ask in order to become a believer would be "how does having Jesus make your life better?"

I would ask why if there is a Trinity did Jesus say "Hear ye Oh you Israel there is only one God, and you must love him with all your Heart and all your mind, and all your soul", and why did he go to Quiet places and pray alone if he was the Son of God,and knew he was.Why would someone who recognized he was already divine need to pray.

in elementary words concern with asking in elementary words those who imagine like you is they could no longer challenge you. And when I truly have a question on evolution I handle it to evolutionists and when I truly have questions of conception and Bible then I handle to Christians.

If they could tell me where to go (on this earth, before I die) to have absolute, final, empirical proof of the existence of god, I would reconsider my beliefs. Unfortunately, in this day and age, special effects are so mind blowing that even that might not be enough to convince me.

ckrug,
I think that you hit it on the head. Most people already made the choice. One side or the other. Those that haven't are rare, but such things are worth seeing. I love those people.

Would you still forgive and love a person who killed thousands of innocent people that included your love ones if he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savoir?
