Anonymous asked: how can you believe in jesus?
By believing and having faith that he came to save.
“Even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” -Mark 10:45
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” -Matthew 1:21
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” -Galatians 2:20
There are also side sources that explain Jesus exsisted.
Read Isaiah 53; it was written years before Jesus was born and he was the only man that ever fullfilled all those things that were written in that chapter about a man that was coming soon. Also history for sure tells us he’s real.
”And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely He was the Son of God!”
-Matthew 27:50-54 (the fact that one of the guys that had just finished beating him up and involved in Jesus’ crusifiction say that.. gives proof that he’s God’s son.. and also because he said that it meant he believed and he was saved at that very moment)
and Then there are stories that people have that they can tell you that they have felt God move in their lives.
Their Testimonies..
Mine is… Not knowing my plans for my future and not knowing how to love. But one day I decided to trust God and that He had a plan for my life and everything changed. But it did not happen that quick, sometimes you have to go through things in life to realize that there is a bigger picture behind all of it. I used to get bullied in 7th grade, I hated my self and I started to hate the people around me, I became mean and bitter also. My grades were bad because I didn’t want to be in that school anymore. I failed and had to go to summer school and I was so depressed, I told my father to take me out of that school, so he signed me up to another school, but I had to take a placement test for this new school and I failed it. So then I had a decision either to go to that old school and go to 8th grade and graduate with these people I hated or to get left back and go to this new school. I cried that day, but I started to pray to God to help me. The next day I told my father I was going to go to this new school, I did not want to be with those kids any longer.
On the first day of this new school people were already wanting to know who I was, I felt accepted, but it also felt weird I never felt loved. This school was a Christian Private school where they were taught about Jesus, but that’s not the reason why I believe in Jesus, the reason was because I believed he came to save me from myself and to save me from my hurt. I would never go up to alter calls in this school, when they held chapels, but there was one day when I felt God telling me to go up. People came to tell us that God has a plan for each person and that he has given each person a unique gift.. (he gave you a gift too, you may or may not know what it is, but you most definetly have one, each person is born with a gift from God) ..and I knew I was gifted but I never realized what my purpose was, but I believed that God knew what it was, so I ended up going up and I felt this emeness feeling I can’t describe and I felt God telling me “art, art, pursue art, you’ve always been artistic.” I always say it was like a slap in the face. But yes, after that everything started to fall at my feet, I didn’t go after anything, (Have you heard Jeremy Lin’s testimony? Well, that’s how mine is, God just started to place people in my life), the next day I was hearing Fashion do that, start making clothes and designing, and a few weeks later a random teacher that I never talked to came up to me and was like “Hey I remember you telling me you were into fashion, well guess what there’s going to be a fashion teacher coming to this school, but don’t tell anyone”. That definetly was God, because I had NEVER talked to this woman until then. And when I went to sew for the first time, sewing came easy to me, (When God gives you a gift it’s going to amaze you how well you can do it.)
After that, I just began to dedicate my life to God that everything I was going to do in my life was to glorify him, and I saw his love shine in my life so hard that I began to love also. I began to realize why God came as Jesus. Because he loves us so MUCH.. He became the ultimate sacrifice, that all we have to do is look unto him with anything we go through in life, and remember and trust that he has taken it out of our lives a long time ago. That’s why I believe in Jesus, because he has always been the director of the story my life. (Diana’s Testimony)… There’s more Skate4Jesus people.. I shall get them to write there reason’s also..
