Thats a Hard Question .. What I mean by that is it's not just one thing it's a life changing experience -- My First one was on Sunday morning . While reading the morning paper as I was turning the page My eyes fell upon the religious section and I quickly turn the page and Heard a voice. Well more of a thought some where in side of me Asking me this Question -- Why do you Hate me Me ? He used that one Question to start My journey .Home . My Question to you and everyone here -- Has He ask you a Question -- In Jesus name Amen -- Graw

I think I would say my senses. What I see,feel, touch,hear and even taste shows me there is a God. We are all lost and seek God that we might use our relationship with him as a map. In that way we can know him deeper and experience different layers of life. Life is fantastic when you can experience it with God. It's like metal detecting. We seek and we find. For me the seeking is as good or better then the find. That's the way it is with God since He is with us all the time.

Welcome to the CMD Forum, Rickvm, we are glad to have you and you have asked the ultimate question for starting your journey on the pathway to eternal life! If you believe there is a one and only true God, Who is Christ Jesus and live your life for Him, daily, by being sorrowful and repentant for your sinning against Him, then you are saved. There needs to be a big change in your life from the old man to the new man....in other words you become a new creation in Christ, by loving and obeying Him because to do otherwise will make your heart hurt, as He becomes your Lord and Master, Whom you honor and glorify by not being ashamed to speak Jesus' name and you spread His gospel to others who are lost!
When saved you will be living and serving the Lord of lords and King of kings, by being a Child of the King!! By faith we believe and not by sight! Ask God that you really want to know Him and know that you are saved and one of His Children, ready to go and meet Him in the air on the saints Resurrection Day! The Holy Spirit of God is Who draws all men unto Him....you will know and right now you are seeking; therefore, God's Spirit is drawing you to Jesus
John 3:16.....For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son, Jesus, that whosoever (everyone) believes in Him and are baptised shall be saved and have everlasting life!
By professing your faith in Him, repenting of any sins you've committed against Him, baptised in water, and makiing a U-Turn on this earthly life's road by going on God's straight and narrow way and confessing that you love Him above all others and everything that may be a God in your life as of now then you will have no doubt of your salvation in God's mercy and His grace! Salvation is a gift from God and you never can earn it, but if saved you will serve HIm and give Him great honor in Whom He is!
My prayer is for you to truly know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and be a fellow Christian Brother in Christ, and if you are already, that you fully come into His presence and show His love through your heart to everyone you meet and be blessed mightily by Him! Amen!
God Bless!

Faith is a strange and crazy thing, but what a wonderful and amazing thing to have. You ask what makes someone believe? Are you questioning that there is a God or that His Son is Savior and Lord? Allow me to address both.
Personally, I believe there is a God because I look around at this great big creation and see how intricate it is and works. To see the beauty of a sunset or the majesty of the mountains and not think of them as a gift from a higher powerful seems unthinkable. To see the complexity of nature and how perfectly it all fits together and deny it is by design, unbelievable. So for me to accept that there is a higher power is easy, and to think that this higher power has no purpose or personality doesn't make sense. If there was a higher power without personality, without purpose, without love; then how could it make personalities like you and me? So I believe that there is a God and that He loves us.
As to Jesus being Lord and Savior, well I believe in the Bible and that it is God's word. There is a great little book I could send you that clearly shows how the Bible is God's word and not just a story made up by man. If you are interested you could just private message me and I will mail it to you. But once you can believe that the Bible is God's word and you read the story of Jesus and His sacrifice, the rest falls into place.
But it all takes faith and sometimes faith will be shaken, but God is merciful and does not give us more than we can handle. We just rely on Him to get us through. And that, my friend is the hardest thing for anyone to accept, that we need to relinquish control to God. Humans by nature are control freaks and to have someone else in control is tough.
Yours is a tough question asked and even tougher to answer in just a few paragraphs. You have come to the right place for information. There is a great collection of people on this forum, all of whom would love to share with you the story of Christ and what He could mean to you. The fact that you have posted the question means you are seeking answers and that is a great first step. If there is any questions or further information, reading resources, or personal e-mail inquiries I would appreciate the opportunity to help.
I will pray for you and your quest to seek answers, may the answers lead you to what so many people already know, the wonderful love of God and redeeming gift of His Son Christ.
In His service and yours,
Brian
