I'm convinced!

How can God get our attention? How can he inspire our belief?
First, no human being knows the future, of course. So when, by his foreknowledge, God accurately foretells coming events, he totally convinces me as to his reality, proving beyond any shadow of doubt that he exists.
Second, everyone loves a hero. But did you know that many of the greatest heroes in the Bible were God's prophets? It was through Moses, Samuel, Elijah, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and other such heroes that God foretold coming events.
Third, as a bonus, those prophets also answer our most urgent questions: Why am I here? Where am I going? How do I get there?
Here is what they teach us: (1) you are here to live for God. (2) you can choose to share eternity with him. (3) “draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” James 4.8.
Fourth, to help resolve our uncertainties about life, God even went a step further. In the person of Jesus, he visited earth in human form! Jesus is not only the world's greatest prophet, but also our Saviour!

When I trusted my life to him, it took but a moment. But the outcome will last forever!
