Answer 1

You should not become a christian because you are asking this question. You would already know why if you wanted to become a christian.

Only you can find your path and only you can walk it.

Answer 2

You eternal soul is depending on it.From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000 specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming. A mathematician, Peter Stoner, had his graduate students calculate what the odds would be of any one person fulfilling just eight of these prophesies. He found the chance was one in 100,000,000,000,000,000 !Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.

In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...

He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.

Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered or The Gate Of Hell Shall Not Prevail by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey.
D. James Kennedy probably said it as good as anyone could in his book The Gates Of Hell Shall Not Prevail...

People say, "Well all religions are the same."When they say that they are simply saying, "I am ignorant of the nature of religion altogether, and I really know nothing about it," because Christianity is antithetical to all of the pagan religions of this world. In all other religions, humans are endeavoring to reach up and somehow find God. In fact, that's what the word religion means. It means "to bind ones self to". Only in Christianity is God reaching down to humans.The Lord reaches down to find fallen and helpless humanity.God himself does what is necessary for us to be reconciled to Him.
All of the religions of the world could be boiled down to one two - letter word. This is the message of every pagan religion in the world:"Do". "Do this." Do that." Don't do the other."And because people are blinded to the truth of the Gospel and do not see that the basic message of the Bible is the Gospel, they think that Christianity is also simply" do"_"do this" and "don't do that."
But the basic message of Christianity is not "do" but "done." "It is done" were the last words of Christ before commending His soul to the Father. It is done! It is finished! It is complete! It is enough! Tetelestai is the Greek word Jesus said when He breathed His last. This Greek word was often used in economic transactions, meaning "paid in full." Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins. The atonement is completed, and now all who trust in Him may freely have eternal life.
William Culbertson said that every religion in the world that he knew anything about says this"Something in my hands I bring". That's why they're all doing. I bring these good works, these acts of piety, these prayers, these churchgoings, these temple visits -- whatever they may be.Only Christianity says "nothing in my hands I bring, simply to the cross I cling."
This is the meaning of grace. It is a wonderous gift given to those who have nothing to pay, those who do not deserve it at all.

2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things that we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him: for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6, who gave Himself a ransom for all...

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?He is Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.John 2:22


May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Answer 3

Christmas?

Answer 4

Simple. Have you broken God's Law? The Ten Commandments? Hell is part of the gospel message so it makes sense.

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Heb. 9:27

We are judged by the Ten Commandments.

Ever told a lie?
Ever hated anyone? See 1 John 3:15
Ever lusted after someone? See. Matt. 5:27-28
Ever blasphemed?

For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10

Lawbreakers go to hell.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:9-10

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Gal. 5:19-21

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Rev. 21:8

This is clear and humbling. However God made a way so we wouldn't have to go to hell. Jesus (God in flesh) came to earth, lived a sinless life, and was crucified on our behalf. He rose three days later defeating death and in turn giving us an escape route from hell. But Jesus did command us to repent. That means to turn from sin to God. The perfect example of repentance is found in Psalm 51.

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

You see when you repent God gives you a new heart and new desires and they are desires to serve Him. As a result you are biblically born again! That my friend is good news!

Answer 5

Bottom line - God loves you - He sent His Son to die for your sins - accept this fact on faith - you'll spend eternity with Him. Sorry ... that was 4 good reasons. God bless! :)

Answer 6

~ Lots of social activities

~ Free food/dinners

~ Great place to meet a mate

~ Never alone on holidays!

Answer 7

The best reason is because you need God.
Not all realize their need for God but it absolutely the only way to God.
God gave us life and it is God who sustains us.
Sin caused a seperation from God which is death.
God is our life source.
Jesus reunites sinful man with a righteous God.
That is the good news "the gospel"
