Because one day, when I had nothing but hate in my heart towards God, and at a time it was totally unexpected, and I didn't even know it was possible, He caused me to be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit when He spoke this simple word into my heart: "Maybe Jesus really did die for your sins".
My life has never been the same since. I have never doubted His love for Me, and I know that I will live forever with Him in His glorious Kingdom.

I dont feel the need to believe in something, but i respect all the religions and all their rules, because they teach things useful in their life.
And to tell you the truth very few people are believers, those who can apply in their every day life the rules of the religion they believe

There are three possibilities regarding God.
1) God doesn't exist. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.
2) God does exist, but is immoral. An immoral deity should not be worshiped. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.
3) God does exist and is moral. A moral deity would not want to be worshiped. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.
All three possibilities lead to the same conclusion. The existence of God is irrelevant and worshiping him is a mistake.

Because the triune holy God saved me. God's words in the Bible are true as evidenced through 33% being prophecies and hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in the life of Jesus. True science, archeology, history and testimonies of martyrs confirm my belief. The law of Moses was like a mirror that brought me to Christ through the conviction of my sins in realizing that I broke God's laws and offended a Holy God, but that God loves me enough to save me from God's wrath and judgment by paying the fine himself on the cross, and giving me His righteousness to enter into heaven despite my depravity.
Jesus saved me. Do I need anymore reason? True faith is leaping from darkness into light. I was blind but now I see. I was lost but now am found. A wretch like me is saved through Jesus, and I'll follow him the rest of my life here on earth so I'll be with him the rest of His life.

I DON'T 'believe.
'Faith' (magical, wishful thinking) is a lame and pathetic substitute for 'evidence'.
Faith-based 'belief' (the internalized certainty that you are privy to the 'truth' pertaining to vital aspects of existence and reality) is a lame and pathetic substitute for 'knowledge'... in fact, it is the ILLUSION of knowledge.
Faith + belief ---> Self-delusion and willful ignorance.
'Belief' is an insidious mind-killer... it cuts one off from the open-minded and intellectually honest (willing to actively question and doubt one's own assumptions) consideration of alternative possibilities.

Because it has been revealed to me through God's word. Why else would I believe something, because I had evidence?! Thanks, but God's word is good enough for his followers.
