Was from a Muslim family and grew up as a Muslim. Decided two months ago, at the age of 19, that I would become a Christian. I initially found out about Jesus and his story at school during an RE lesson. I didn't learn much in school and didn't really think of it. But straying from last year, I became more interested in Christianity and I didn't feel that Islam was really the truth. For all my life, I was a pretty average Muslim, I went to jummah every week, I prayed and read the Quran. I did believe it but when I found out about the gospel of Jesus Christ, it made so much sense. It resonated with me. The fact that Jesus came to Earth as fully man and fully God, performed miracles, lived a life free of any sin and then died on the Cross for our sins made so much sense. I read John and the Christian view of salvation through faith rather than through our deeds made so much sense. I mean, Muhammad wasn't a perfect man but Jesus was. Jesus lived a perfect life. Yet he decided to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Now, I do believe in the gospel. I believe that Jesus Christ is fully God, fully man and that he came to Earth and made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. I believe that we are all flawed and have all failed to meet God's moral standards. Therefore, none of us are worthy of entering Heaven. But God loved us so much that he came as Jesus Christ the Son, and made the sacrifice on the cross so we can be saved DESPITE what we have done, not because of it.
I'm happy I made this decision and I'm finding out more and more every day.
