What are the differences between religions?
All religions require belief.
The very significant thing about Christianity is that it is real. It is not a postulation; it is not “wait and we shall see”. It is real.
God who wrote the Bible fulfills His promises and changes what we cannot change, talks to us and interacts with us. We have a real relationship with Him.
He is not like the other gods or religions which say if you are a good person and do this and that you will go to heaven or be somebody good. NO. Jesus is real as you are real.
People who are real Christians – I mean those who have met Jesus – do not have a shadow of a doubt that He is there. Why is that? Are they blind or mad?
They have no doubt because He is very alive to them. He has changed and is still changing them, and talks to them.
No other god can change you. No other god. You can be praying forever, either sincerely or not, but nothing is there. Your prayer hits the wall and bounces back. In fact you are not praying; you are talking to yourself but in Christianity you are talking to a Real Living God who created me, you, everyone and everything.
Either these Christians who met Jesus one day are living for Him or for themselves that does not matter; they all can ascertain that He is real, not based on simple belief only, but based on real experience and based on a certainty of the Holy Spirit that lives within them.
Can you say, “I am sure I am serving the real living God”? Are you saying, “I will wait and see what will happen”?
No, my friend, not all Christians who met God, not all the people in the world who converted and knew Him are mad, NO.
If somebody did the walk across the bridge from one religion to another, why wouldn’t they come back if they found they did the wrong thing? Why would anyone sacrifice his life for something if he thought “maybe it’s true, maybe not”?
It is ascertained by the Holy Spirit within us that we are Sons and Daughters of God.
Do you want to wait and find out what will happen later? It is your call, but I want to ask you one thing: is your god a Real Living Loving True God?
For my God is and it is not only my testimony it is the testimony of millions and millions around the world from all denominations and countries who were really touched and changed by Him.
We were touched by Jesus the Real Living God.
You are my brother and sister in humanity; will I gain anything if you become a Christian or not? Will I get a medal for that? I might get something from God but that is not why I am talking to you; I am talking to you because I found Truth, Reality and Life. It is the basic human reaction when you experience something or realise something to want to share it with everyone, but that thing is not something that will perish – no, it is something that is worth everything and especially your life.
Will God gain anything from that? No, He is the Almighty God. He can make children of Abraham from the rocks if He wants to.
It is you who will gain. It is you whose life will be changed. It is you that will have the real relationship with your Creator and it is you that will wonder no more where you are going because of the assurance of His Spirit in you. It is you that will experience the peace beyond understanding, joy, happiness and security.
Think about it before it is too late. You never know when you will go, but for sure you will and so will I, for no one is here forever.
It is not a pessimistic way of looking at life; it is a very wise way. If you are traveling by plane, how much care would you give to the time on the plane in comparison to the time and care you give in preparing yourself for the destination you are going to, especially if you know that there is no way back?
I think that life is worth thinking about, especially since we haven’t seen people coming back from the dead so often.
So if there is a possibility that you are wrong and I am right, even if it is 1 in a million or a billion, you should think about it. Why? Because you do not want to die and discover that you lived your life mistakenly, that there is no incarnation, that you are judged upon the life you lived and what you believed in.
For your sake, not mine, if you are not sure or have doubts about your religion or belief or disbelief, do not discard the doubt and be stubborn and say “I am right” unless you are very very very very very very very very sure you are right.
It is neither a joke nor a game it is REALITY and LIFE.
Wake up, be logical and give it a thought.
The “I do not care” attitude will not help; it is the attitude of fools, my friend, and denial won`t help either. So be wise and think.
At the end, it is your life, not mine. I know Jesus the truth , the way and the life and I am sharing my experience – not only mine, it is the experience of many Christians all around the world .We are not people who are after rituals, NO.
We are people who believe in God and experienced His truth, life, victory, peace, happiness, joy – God Himself and His Spirit.
We are not praying 5 times a day and counting good deeds to remove the bad deeds and waiting to see what will happen later on, NO; I wish it was that easy: a mathematical equation where you can make yourself a winner by the end of the day, but it is not.
We are serving a Real Living God, not a belief we took from our parents without thinking.
There is 1 life to live, at least that is the certain thing from what we see, and there is 1 death that we all will experience 1 day. So plan your trip, ask, learn, and seek and you shall find.
You are not a child anymore who can not say I was brought up to be a Muslim, a Hindu or whatever, you are old enough to think and choose.
May God open your eyes, ears and heart to see Him and believe in Him. Amen.
By the way, not all roads lead to the same destination, NO. It does not happen in life; why would it happen in eternity?
A wait-and-see attitude will get you nowhere other than Hell, my friend.
There is only one way and that is Jesus. For Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”( John 14:6). It is true that He is the way, truth and life and if you are not certain of where you are you did not meet Him yet.
Let me be mad, or even a liar, but are all Christians who meet Jesus are mad? We are not brainwashed like others, we are not closed-minded like others; we question, and in fact God asks us to learn and question.
I do not know everything, but I know one thing: when I die (not if I die, because it will happen one day), I know that I will go either to heaven or hell depending upon how I lived my life. I know that Jesus is God – he is not a prophet nor is He non-existent – and I know that only through Him is salvation and life.
Do not risk your life for nothing; you are not gambling your house, you are gambling your life. Can’t you see the big picture: every second you are living out there you are gambling your life.
You might feel secure saying “I am young, I will live long?” Let me ask you a question do you know when you will go? Can you guarantee you will not get a stoke this very second? Can you guarantee you will not fall while you are walking and hit your head? You cannot guarantee anything if you are healthy and fine and your brain is still in place that is a blessing thank God for it but that does not mean it cannot happen it is because of His mercy that you are fine till today .Only His mercy. You might be saying: “who is that guy? What is wrong with him? Why is he very serious like that? Chill out mate, be cool, have fun, do you want me to bring you a glass of beer to chill out?”
So if I can’t guarantee 1 second in my life, and I am living either there is no tomorrow or there is a tomorrow; I am in both cases a blind fool and an idiot because I cannot see the facts in front of my eyes which is I might die any second and I do not know what will happen later – I will die and I am not prepared for it. In fact I am risking my life every second I am living because there is no way back.
Think, my friend; please be wise.
Living with God is not a torture; it is life, joy and happiness. You are not only related to your earthly parents – you are related to the Almighty God who created you.
Think for your sake not mine.
