Do you believe in God? If so, what God? If not, why not?
I believe in God, to be particular the Christian God. Here is why:
I was not born into a Christian family. I was born on 7th March 1983 into a Taoist family. Yet, from a young age, I knew there was a God. I knew because when I read about space and all its planets, it awed me. It told me that this wonderful creation could not be by chance. (Romans 1:20-21) I believe there is a God, and that He must be a big God in order to create such a wonderful universe, but I did not know where He is from. Not knowing where He came from, I often prayed to what I called, the unknown God. My heart hungered for Him and to know who He is, where He is from, what He wants from me and why He makes me. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
At the age of 11, my aunt invited me to church. The skit was on the birth of Jesus, and somehow, that skit resonated with my heart and gave me a warm feeling although I had no idea who Jesus is. During my secondary school days, I was extremely rebellious. I disobeyed my parents and prayed to Satan, although I still somehow believe in my unknown God. (Romans 3:23) I prayed to Satan because I wanted good grades for my studies, but was too lazy to study for it. I believe that praying to God will not help me because He is good and will expect me to put in efforts to do well for my studies. Satan did not help me with my studies.Contrary to that, my grades fell. Satan also made me hate my father, and became more rebellious than before. I was rude to both my parents and teachers and no one liked me. I also hated everyone. ( John 10:10)
When I was caught for stealing a CD from a music store, I prayed to God for protection and because He did protect me, I stopped praying to Satan. It was around this time that my aunt gave me a children’s bible and somehow, the God in that bible matched my perception of who my unknown God is, and my search for Him was narrowed down to three religions– Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I prayed to God to reveal to me which of these three religions He came from. (Luke 19:10)
By the time I reached my Junior College years, I was 99.99% sure that God came from the Christian religion. Still, I did not want to accept Jesus while the rest of my family were going to be separated from God. God has His own plans for me, however. In the second year of my Junior College, one of my friends was considering becoming a Christian. Knowing me to be a non-Christian and therefore could offer her an unbiased opinion of whether or not she should be a Christian, she sought my advice. I told her to go ahead to be a Christian because I was 99.99% sure that the Christian God is the real one. She took my advice and became a Christian. Not only that, she actually brought the one who converted her to be a Christian to me.
That gal who converted my friend to be a Christian convinced me to be a Christian by telling me how my family might actually one day go to heaven and not end up separated from God if I prayed to Jesus. I accepted Jesus into my life and never regretted my choice. ( John 5:24) Although my family are still not Christians as of this writing, I have grown to love God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit so much that even if they never become Christians and get separated from God, I will still follow Jesus. (Luke 14:26) This is my testimony, and I dedicate this testimony to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
