Three Reasons

Here are three reasons why you should not hesitate to believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
First, when Jesus Christ came as a man to this earth, He fulfilled countless Old Testament prophecies. These prophecies specifically predicted the manner and place of His birth, His entry into Jerusalem, His betrayal, His death on the Roman cross, His burial and His resurrection. All these prophecies cannot be explained away by mere mathematical chance; they prove that Jesus Christ is the “sent One” of God.
Second, of all the men who ever lived, He alone lived a perfect life. He was perfect goodness moving in the midst of evil. He took upon Himself flesh and blood, even as we have flesh and blood, but He never sinned. His mind never entertained an evil thought. He never committed an evil act. He was in all points like we are, but without sin. Indeed, He was the only Man who never sinned. His holiness should convince us that there was something extraordinarily special about Him.
Third, His resurrection from the dead should be enough to remove all doubt in any heart as to His identity. Others written about in the Bible died and were restored to life, only to live out their natural lives and die again. But Jesus died and rose from the grave and lives in the “power of an endless life,” never to die again. All those who trust in Him will share in the power of His endless life. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die” (John 11:25-2625Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25‑26)).
