Why trust Jesus?
When this question is asked by any individual, why trust Jesus? And depending on what answer they decide to accept, it will be either a turning point of their life or a continuous journey of soul searching.
​​​​​​​​
Their path would not just be decided in the afterlife, it would set the stage here on earth as well. It is why it is imperative that the road that is chosen must be valid.
​​​
Trusting in Jesus is not a mere belief system of repetitious practises, it is a solid relationship between two individuals. The relationship is between man and his creator.
​​
However the argument always presents itself, Jesus cannot be seen, he cannot be heard most of the time and he has never revealed himself to the majority. This truth also resonates among most of the Christians as well, before they became believers of Christ.
​​​​​​​​​
Then comes the second question where was Jesus when we needed him? When we were abandoned, bullied, abused, mocked, beaten, ridiculed, hated and betrayed by the world?
​​​​​​​​
Truth, be told God has placed his love everywhere that is clearly visible, we as humans may possibly cannot recognise his beautiful nature. Let us consider some facts, he is visible because there are 2.5 billion Christians in the world that believe on his existence, regardless of the strength of their faith.
​​
There are churches practically in over 157 countries on this earth. The cross that symbolises what he did manifests everywhere and his promises from the bible are stamped around the world.
​​​​​​​​
His truth is more reachable than any other religious organisation that exists around the world. The truth about Jesus is also not restricted to any particular race, God's love is made available to anyone that opens their heart to him.
​​​​​​​​​​
God however, does not want to present himself before we accept his truth, he wants us to believe on him before he showers his love on us. As state in:
​​​​​​​​​
John 20:29 - Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​
Majority of the world most probably would not know this truth, that Jesus is alive. Evil has been blocking his love from the time man was created. We have to dig deep within ourselves to find the courage to speak his name so that he can love us.​​​
​​​​
The truth is that Jesus can be reached very easily, all we have to do is call on his name. God does not have to be physically present in order to connect with us or help us. Our good Lord can be anywhere and can still reach us at any time. As stated in:
​​​​​​​
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
​​​​​​​
In our time of gratitude or in our time of pain, if we call on his name, God will move mountains to ensure we are saved.
​​​​​​​
Let us look at history on his interactions with man on this earth in reference to the Bible. God spoke to Adam, God ate with Abraham, God called to Moses in a burning bush, God saved Daniel, God blessed Samuel, God trialled Job, God gave strength to Samson, God fought David's battles and God made Solomon a great king.
​
In addition to these truths our good Lord healed the sick, Jesus made the lame walk, Jesus made the blind to see and God came down to earth and Jesus lived among his righteous followers.
​​​​​​
In our current times, country Leaders have followed him, movie stars have spoken about him in public, billions today also believe in him and many are daily converting to Christianity.
​​​​​​​​
Jesus is also the only human that can still interact, have a solid connection and solve any ones problems even after ascending to Heaven 2000 years ago. Because Jesus is a God that cares, the key is we need to call on his name. As stated in:
​​
Psalm 145:18 - The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.​​​​​​​​
Then comes the topic of freedom, God has given us the freedom to choose to believe on him. There is no dictatorship, no demands, and no substantial conditions only the pure free will to love him back. He has given substantial evidence that he exists and to come to him with a sincere heart.
​​​​
Learn about the individual before any decision is made, understand Jesus before rejecting him, but never forget that ​​Jesus will still love us, no matter what we choose.
"God however, does not want to present himself before we accept his truth, he wants us to believe on him before he showers his love on us."
