Unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other (false) religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we take comfort in the fact that our God became man, died for our sins, was killed, and was resurrected the third day. The grave could not hold Him. He lives and He sits today at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. The living church has a living Head.

My faith is the Christian faith as set out in the New Testament from Acts through the rest of the New Testament. God did not preserve idle words, it is all to be accepted that is to the Christian today. We are not Jews, so the Old Testament that was bound on them is not binding on me because Jesus took it to the cross. See Col 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
It is special to feel you belong with Jesus the Christ. To feel you are doing what you can to tell others about Him. You build up a love inside you that is beyond any love you will find elsewhere. Your dependence on Him and not having to worry about the things you give Him to handle is something you cannot imagine until you feel that freedom. He is special is why I am a believer.

I am a truth seeker, and a member of the cgi.
it is special because i truly want to be like Christ and share in all power that He has, which is ALL power.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
the vast majority of this world has no idea what being an heir to Christ really means. Christ is the son of God, and those who keep His commandments will also be a son of God, an heir with Christ, with all power to even create worlds and so much more, just how awsome is that!!!
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Faith is .... Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
why it is important to believe in Christ....Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

My faith, you mean the denomination? I go to a non-denominational church, I feel it isn't religion I am after but a relationship with God.
It is "special" because if I believe in Christ as my Savior, I am saved.

I am a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (better known at "Mormons").
My relationship with Christ is important to me because I believe him to be my Savior, and everyone else's Savior as well. I believe that redemption comes through Him, and that I can be forgiven of my sins through Him. It's an amazing concept to me, and I am thankful to him for what he has done for mankind. That is why it is important to me to follow him.

My faith is that Jesus Christ is the living Son of God who lives as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The only and ultimate sacrifice for my sins. He is my Lord and my Salvation.

It is a privilege to be a believer. My faith in Jesus's love for me is a priceless gift which has carried me through many of the ups and downs of life. I was on the path that leads to death and I was rescued, forgiven, and set on the path that leads to eternal life. I am saved to serve, liberated to labor, and freed to fulfill the love of Christ.

Because without Jesus Christ, we have no hope. He is the only way to have a relationship with God the Father and the only way to have eternal life. Praise God He did all the work for us. All we have to do is accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord of our life and believe He died for us. How could God make it more simple for us?
