Ahhh it's a true story...I remember it as if it was yesterday.If we could all stay 7. That is such a sweet story that it brought tears to my eyes.
and i think it decreases againand I believe you are at at least some of the time, already your worth, I believe, has increased to God.
this made me want to start again thank youJesus was sent so that we might Live, whereas without him we were already dead in the eyes of God,
I was into witchcraft and I had a very painful experience that caused me to break down and cry out to God. I prayed and had a visitation.@amadeus @JunChosen @robert derrick @CharismaticLady @charity @Nancy @Backlit @Tong2020 @marks @Hidden In Him @Christophany @GEN2REV @ReChoired @Ziggy @An Apologetic Sheepdog
I think it is taken for granted that most Christians have basically the same reason for being so. But I also think it's worth exploring. What if you were tried for your faith by a system that was hostile toward it? What would your testimony be if you were faced with this seemingly simple question? I may add or change answers to the poll as requested within reason. Please don't be offended if I haven't included yours. And don't be afraid to make your responses very personal.
I am a believer in Yeshua because Yahweh chose me to be. I wasn't given a choice, it's something that He did to me.@amadeus @JunChosen @robert derrick @CharismaticLady @charity @Nancy @Backlit @Tong2020 @marks @Hidden In Him @Christophany @GEN2REV @ReChoired @Ziggy @An Apologetic Sheepdog

This I can really relate to.He refuses to let me go.
2 Peter 3:9 : The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.I am a believer in Yeshua because Yahweh chose me to be. I wasn't given a choice, it's something that He did to me.

Great testimony. I was nagged for a week by a very irritating Christian to go to church. I finally said I'd go once if he'd stop bugging me. While there, the Lord took advantage of the situation and I believed instantly. Thank You, Lord, for irritating believers! LolI'm a Christian because of the fact that God has told me that I'm a sinner, and I agree with Him because I know it's true (and God only speaks the truth), but He has sent salvation for me in the person of Christ who died for my sins and rose again from the dead.
I'm a Christian because of what I believe, not because of what I feel. So even though I love God (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit), what I feel does not make me a Christian. I do not believe it makes anyone a Christian, because Jesus said,
"He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18). Jesus is our Ark. If we believe in Him and believe what God says, then for sure we'll get ourselves into the Ark before the flood comes upon the world, and we'll be eternally grateful from a very deep place in our souls.
I was not brought up a Christian. I was brought up to believe in reincarnation and "the evolution of the soul", and I was brought up to believe that the Bible is a simple book written by simple-minded people for simple-minded people, "and has been changed anyway".
I went from being 100% unbeliver to 100% believer while reading the Bible one night, searching for scriptures that "prove" reincarnation (which I had been told were there), so that I could take those scriptures and shove it in the faces of "those irritating Christians" who wouldn't leave me alone, and who were so completely convinced of their case "and yet were so completely clueless".
The Lord convicted me while I was reading, and I turned from 100% unbeliever to 100% believer all in one night, reading the entire New Testament within one week. I never experienced it at first as anything except fleeing from the wrath of God to Christ. Assurance of salvation came later.
Praise God, and thank you, Lord.
I'm now 100% convinced "those irritating Christians" were praying for me. They will get their reward "in that day". Now it's my turn to pray for unbelievers, and not to judge them.
