Why
believe?

Why believe in God, or that Jesus is God?

Version 0.1-alpha

We plan to make this more engaging, and more nice looking.

How God Exists

Ever think about how the universe started? It had a beginning, right? That means it had to have a creator. Think about a building. If you saw one, would you believe it had a builder? Of course! The building's right there. Someone had to make it. It's the same with the universe. We see it, we know it began, so there HAS to be a Creator.

Sin

Okay, so humans messed up in the beginning. And we all still do. Have you ever lied? Been disrespectful? Sworn? Yeah, we all have. And God judges us on those things. So, if He judged you right now, would you be innocent or guilty?

Guilty

Guilty, right? So would we deserve a punishment or a reward? Punishment. Sounds like heaven or hell? Hell. And hell is a terrible place. Fire, suffering, constant pain, forever. Because you have to pay for your sins.

There's a Way Out

So, you need someone to pay that hell price for you. Someone willing to sacrifice themselves. Get it? That was Jesus! That's why He was beaten, slapped, mocked, whipped, tortured, forced to carry a heavy cross, and nailed to it. Then He ROSE from the dead three days later! Jesus did all that for YOU, because someone else had to pay for the sins we have committed. That's how much He loves you. He sacrificed His life so you sdon't have to suffer in hell. He paid the price!

Price Paid

Jesus offers that as a free gift. But you have to accept it. Believe in your heart that Jesus already paid for your sins. Not your good deeds, not baptism, not praying or going to church. Jesus paid the price. Nothing and no one else.

Life Changed

Now that He saved you from hell, do you want to punch Him in the face or serve Him? You'd want to please Him, serve Him, and try your best not to sin. We're all sinners, but with God, we can beat sin. He'll show you when you mess up, and you should turn away from it. Remember, if you trust in Jesus, you're covered. No sin can take away your salvation. Just try to get back up and turn away from the bad stuff.

Grow

To grow as a Christian, read the Bible! Start with the New Testament, from beginning to end. You'll learn a ton! Try to read it every day. It's like food for your soul. And pray. It's just talking to God. Thank Him, praise Him, pray for others, and pray for yourself to grow and for your needs. But remember, God isn't a genie. Find a good church that teaches from the Bible if you're ready. And share this message! Ask your family and friends why they think they'll go to heaven. What would they say?

Common Objections

Why does God allow suffering if He's good?

God told us in the beginning to obey Him, or bad stuff would happen. We disobeyed. So what happened? Bad stuff! Death, sickness, sin, wanting to hurt each other. We have free will. We're the ones choosing to do bad things to eachother.

Eternal suffering in hell for some sins is unfair!

It's not just "some sins." Any sin is a huge deal to God. He's the holiest being in existence. And one of the worst things you can do is reject Jesus' free gift. It's worth infinity – eternal life! If you reject that, you get infinite - eternal punishment. It was your choice. And you still have the choice to take Jesus right now! We're all headed to hell. But we don't have to! Jesus already paid the price.
