why do you believe in Christ?

Cell was great, as usual. Haha. There were two new visitors - a Korean guy and a girl from China. We discussed the cell lesson about doing good and being righteous in the face of persecution. The stories shared were inspiring, especially Karen's story on how she became the victim of a guy's vitriolic attacks on Christianity. Then, I'd asked everyone why they believe in Christ. At first, a scary silence greeted me.

Although we may not know the A-Z details of every book in the Bible, the least that we should know at the tips of our fingers is the reason for our faith in Christ. If we don't even know that, how can we share our faith confidently with non-believers? I cannot stress how important it is to know why you believe in Christ. If you've never thought about it before, go home, take some time off and meditate on why you really believe in Christ.

One's faith cannot be borrowed from one's parents. If you are a Christian just because you were brought up in a Christian home - but you do not have the deep, heart-felt assurance of your faith in Christ, you need to re-evaluate your faith. This understanding encompasses all aspects of your self - intellectual, emotional and spiritual. Once you have that, your spiritual walk will be so much more exciting because there is a purpose to everything that you do.
