Christians, at what age was your earliest realization that there is a God? Also what was your age when...?

Question

you realized Jesus was the Savior?

I want the first times you just knew in your heart for yourself, not the first time someone told you.

Answer 1

My very earliest memories are religious ones. Which is odd, since my family was not particularly religious. But I thought about God constantly, and always felt a closeness to the Divine. I'm told that even as a toddler, I asked many questions about God.

I felt that I started to understand the concept of Jesus a little better when I was in first grade, but was still a bit in the dark about it all. I read the Bible as a child, but didn't understand it clearly. Then I was adopted by people who were extremely strict about their religion, and they taught me their ideas about Jesus. I publicly professed faith in Jesus at age 12, and had a deep Christian religious experience at 19. My religious ideas now are something of a mix of my early ideas and the ones my step-parents taught me, plus decades of independent research and studying.

1. Allah (SWT) 'God' is only 'One', has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. He is eternally besought by all and has no beginning or end, and none is equal to Him (Holy Quran example)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran example).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

Answer 4

I don't remember a time I didn't believe there was a God. I realized Jesus was the savior probably when I was about 4.

Answer 5

We live in innocence as a child. No need to even use the word God, we feel the presence. I have that sense of it now though I don't remember.

Then we get involved in making a name, being respectable, owning things, etc and we leave the presence. That is why Jesus say we have to return to be in the kingdom of heaven.

Then we hit bottom and have our conversion and focus on Jesus.
Gradually we come to realize that the son of God that Jesus was talking about was also us. That is the path to mystic Christianity
