Time is made of past, present and future.
Space is made of height, depth and width.
Matter is made of solid, liquid and gas.
This is no coincidence. It seems that the Creator put His trinitarian fingerprints on the universe so that humans would know the true religion.
Any ancient human could have seen these three in one if they gave it much thought.
But now, through the invention of the microscope, we have discovered that even the building blocks of the universe, the atom, is made of three components: protons, electrons and neutrons. It’s as if the Creator put His signature on the creation so humans could find the true religion.
Only Christianity has revealed the true nature of God—one God in three Persons. God establish Christianity and gave us a revelation of His true Nature.
Christianity also claims that is the fulfillment of the oldest monotheistic religion: Judaism. In Judaism, there was hope and expectation that the Messiah would come to set the world right. Christianity says that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and through Him the full revelation of the Triune God was revealed.
The success of Christianity also speaks of its truthfulness. The reason why Christianity is by far the largest religion is because it works.
For example: There are two competing economic systems: capitalism and socialism. Capitalism is the largest and most popular economic system. Why? Because it works. Socialism has proven to ultimately be a failure. (By the way, the Bible affirms capitalism.) So capitalism succeeds because it works to create the most wealth for people.
Christianity succeeds, also, because it provides the best way for humans to connect with God successfully. I am a Christian, because it works for me. I truly have found God, or better said, He found me.
Jesus did not want us to accept Him by blind faith, because He said, “If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own” (John 7:17). Jesus is saying that belief in Him and in His teachings will be proven true by its success. Success defined is the ability to connect with God, in addition to making people better. When people truly submit to the Lordship of Christ and follow His teachings, then they make the world around them better.
How can anyone truly argue against the success of Christianity? It is the foundation of Western civilization and is spreading to effect positive changes in the rest of the world.
Someone might argue, “Islam has been pretty successful in terms of growth.” True, but Jesus explained that false prophets would come after Him to deceive humanity, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matt. 7:15). Muhammad distorted the true teaching of Christianity, first and foremost by denying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and thus denying the Trinity. From this distortion came other distorted moral assumptions. While Islam has grown, it is clear from our moral compass that there is something inherently distorted in Islam. This would explain the Muslim terrorist movement. It is evil.
Islam is partially true in terms of monotheism, but its rejection of Jesus as the Son of God brings deception to others.
The Ping
An aircraft has the famous black box that sounds a ping. If the aircraft goes down, the ping continues to sound. It continues to ping because it is made to be found.
God put a ping in you! In your life, you might have crashed. As much as you might try to deafen the ping sound, you can still hear it. You may barely hear it, because you have tried to ignore it. Some people may have convinced you that there is no God, but the ping continues to sound. It sounds because you are made to be found!
There is a reason you are reading this article. It could be God’s way to bring you to Himself. Christianity is the true faith! If you will open your heart to the message of the good news about Jesus Christ, you will feel the hand of God bringing you closer to Him. You can find forgiveness of your sins and purpose for your life. Come to Him now!
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13).
1 The masculine pronoun used for God is not meant to convey male, rather it is the generic name for all humans. It is to signify that God is a Person, not an It.
2 Abortion is a good example of a law that is morally evil though legally permissible in many countries.
