Why are you a christian?

Why are you a christian? I read this question a while ago. I have often thought about it. I would ask myself "Why am I a Christian". I don't know if I have the right answer. I don't know what the right answer is. But i do wonder sometimes why I am a Christian.

Why do I accept their is a God. He sent his son to be the ultimate sacrifice, to pay our sin debt. Why do I even accept there is sin? Well for me it is the world I come from. As a teenager. in my early days. I struggled. I struggled for understanding, for love for acceptance. I struggled with the family I was raised in. I struggled with my own personally sins. Why did I do the things I did? It just wasn't normal. Even in todays liberal all can go society. The things I did are not acceptable. There maybe someone out their reading this. And they may ask what horrible thing could a six or seven year old girl do? Some may even think they know what it is. But they really don't. I really can't say.

As a teenager, I would ask myself, why did I do tthat. What would make me want to be so sinful. I realized that there was nothing good in me. There is nothing good in me. I am a wicked vile person, that lives on this earth. How could a well structured planet, with such vast beauty, and disperairty just happen? There has got to be a Creator. What does the Creator think of me? He created me, so He must have some thoughts about me.

I also look at my family, my parents and siblings. I seen the hopelessness in their hearts and lives. The sadness in times of pleasure. My mother used to say, "just a little while, then we would be on easy street". Easy street never stayed in my home. It would come for brief periods, but often be washed away with another gulp of booze. I knew one thing for sure, what I saw in them, was no solution. How can I have hope in nothing?

I think I am a Christian because I saw my hopelessness, in the only thing that could give me hope. I am a Christian, because of Hope. That hope rests in one person, Christ Jesus. Where does your hope rest in? Why are you a Christian?

Deuteronomy 14:1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
