Most people ask these "Who" and "Why" questions, perhaps when they feel hopeless. This is OK.
Humans are spirit, soul and body; every part of us needs to be nourished. The spiritual world is real, and Jesus is head over that world. He can be found. He will fill us with new life, purpose and hope.
Jesus is the God who created everything and then made humans in His image and likeness. Our potential is boundless – even you, even me. This may seem impossible, but it’s true.
The beauty and order of the world, the flowers, puppies, ice cream and sunsets show God's loving design. Each of us was born with this same intention and purpose. God wants us to know His desire and destiny for our life.
I moved around a lot and lost touch with my old friends. Sure, I saw adventure and success, then found life empty, shallow. I felt lost and without purpose. I asked these "Who? " and "Why? " questions.
Some excited Christians befriended me, they showed me Jesus in their kindness and in their lives. The Bible says Jesus is the God who reveals Himself (Bible: Amos 4:13; John 14:17). Well, He did, and now I know Him. Jesus is a person, (the only person ever who did no wrong), and we can be in relationship with Him, this is His heart desire.
I now have great relationships and am at peace inside myself, I know joy and have hope (Bible: Jeremiah 29:11). Thank you Jesus.
Every person has free will, we choose to be kind or be mean, good or bad, fruitful or wasteful. The bad stuff is called sin, and God cares about it.
God's Son Jesus came as a human to pay for all sin. He served all humanity. Everyone knows hurt. Jesus heals the deepest hurt, He healed "all who came to Him". Also, He taught, He comforted, He performed miracles. Then Jesus was unjustly accused and killed; His blood paid for all our sins (Bible: John 3:16; Romans 5:8). Through Jesus we can be free of guilt and shame. Free to live a full life.
Our worldview represents our lifetime of learning and experience. It is our lens through which we see the world; through it we reflect our-self to the world.
Everybody has a worldview, it is unique to us, our foundation for living. It shows what we know to be "true" and "right" and "wrong". Is your worldview clear? Consistent? How you want it to be?
Jesus shows that every person is equal and precious, regardless of race, social status or gender (Bible: Galatians 3:28). Jesus still teaches us how to live and have hope, peace and joy (Bible books: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John).
Also, our Father God asks us to forgive those who have hurt or wronged us (Bible: Mark 11:25), Can you do this? Or at least, try? Forgiving others helps set us free.
How Do We Become Christian? Talk To God.
Many people tell of how they found Jesus simply by asking. Our God is relational. Find a quiet place, call out, talk to Jesus and Father God; this is called prayer. You will be heard. Prayer works. Many have done this and agree.
Soon you will know that Jesus is responding. Draw near to Him by seeking truth. Look for Christians you can relate to. Read and get to know Jesus' book, the Bible. Continue to pray.
Jesus says "my peace I give to you" (Bible: John 14:27). We learn the truth of this. Jesus becomes our "fortress", our "rock" and our "salvation" (Bible: Psalm 18:2).
If you have big problems you are seeking big solutions. Seek Jesus, He will help. Bless you. God bless us all. Amen.
