Do you believe in Christ?
When we believe in Jesus Christ, we do not believe in a non-existent person nor do we follow a disproved theory. We believe in someone real, Who is risen from the dead and thus alive as He Himself said to John “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:17-18).
Christ is neither a philosopher nor a mystic. He was not a prophet nor a former sinner who has now become a saint. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and His teaching is the Gospel: the absolute truth. You can inquire about this and verify it so that you may believe with all of your heart and receive what your faith will secure: life, love, peace, healing and happiness.You may say, “I can read the Gospel and be informed about His life, His birth, His conduct, His miracles, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and even His ascension. Yet how can I verify that He lives, that He sees me and hears me and answers me?” I can tell you simply, “Ask for Him and you shall find Him.” If you have been informed that one of your long lost family members lives and resides in a certain city, what would you do? Would you not ask for him? Would you not write? Would you not call and ask for details? If you were given the exact address and telephone number, what would you do? Locating your family member would then be easy.
Jesus Christ Himself said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7-8).
In other words, our Lord simplifies things with the simplest reasoning. Knock on His door and He will open, ask for Him and you will find Him. Ask Him whatever you want and He will give it to you. Enter your room, close your door, kneel down and say to Him “My Christ, if you are risen and alive, answer me and prove to me that you see and hear me.”
Leave the rest up to Jesus Christ Himself, and He will reveal Himself to you in a way that will absolutely convince you that it is He Who has answered and it is not some coincidence. It is necessary for you to believe in Christ, to be saved and to change your life, so that you may enjoy all the promises written in His Testament, the Gospel, the most joyful news for you and every person. You will be given new birth. You will communicate with the heavenly Father through the name of our Savior Jesus Christ and you will continue to ask whatever you want and you shall receive, according to the Words of Christ written in the Gospel, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16).
