Praise be the Lord ...
Many religions we have around us and every individual is free to follow any religion. God never created any religion, it's we who made it. Religions contradicts each other, therefore they cannot be all true.
Truth never contradicts !
Jesus didn't come to start a religion! Rather HE showed us how to love our God, how to lay own life for someone, the way HE did. Jesus means 'God saves' and Christ means 'Anointed'
As HE is Christ so we have Christianity ... It's following God the Father - creator of all and HIS Son Jesus Christ ...
Fulfilled
Prophecy concerning Jesus
Though there are other religions that
have prophecies in them.
Jesus is who made incredible claims and performed
incredible deeds. The Old Testament was written hundreds of years before
Jesus was born, yet the Old Testament prophesied many things about
Jesus. This is undoubtedly evidence of divine influence upon the Bible.
Please consider some of the many
prophecies of Jesus in the following chart:

All claims were nicely backed up:
- Jesus changed water into wine (John 2:6-10).
- Jesus cast out demons (Matt. 8:28-32; 15:22-28).
- Jesus healed lepers (Matt. 8:3; Luke 17:14).
- Jesus healed diseases (Matt. 4:23,24; Luke 6:17-19).
- Jesus healed the paralytic (Mark 2:3-12).
- Jesus raised the dead (Matt. 9:25; John 11:43-44).
- Jesus restored sight to the blind (Matt. 9:27-30; John 9:1-7).
- Jesus restored / cured deafness (Mark 7:32-35).
- Jesus fed the multitude (Matt. 14:15-21; Matt. 15:32-38).
- Jesus walked on water (Matt. 14:25-27).
- Jesus calmed a storm with a command (Matt. 8:22-27; Mark 4:39).
- Jesus rose from the dead (Luke 24:39; John 20:27).
- Jesus appeared to disciples after resurrection (John 20:19).
The eyewitnesses recorded the
miracles of Jesus, and the gospels have been reliably transmitted to us.
Therefore, we can believe what Jesus said about Himself for two reasons: First, because what He said and did agrees with the Old Testament; and Second,
because Jesus performed many convincing miracles in front of people who
testified and wrote about what they saw Him doing.
The
resurrection is vitally important. It was
Jesus resurrection that changed the lives of the disciples. After Jesus
was crucified, the disciples ran and hid. But when they saw the risen
Lord, they knew that what Jesus had said and done proved that He was indeed God Son, therefore; God in flesh and our Saviour ...
This resurrection is proof of who
Jesus is and that He did accomplish what He set out to do: provided the only
means of redemption for mankind.
Why should one trust in Jesus Christ , That's where the truth which is not only claimed however properly backed up also.
I choose to follow Jesus Christ ... HE is my Saviour my Lord , the only son of God , the Father Almighty ...
Father we pray to you, strengthen all your children scattered on earth, that they stand with your name strong and their work bring glory to you Father ...
We make our prayers through our Lord Jesus Christ ...
Amen ...
