I Prayed for Evidence—and Found the Article the Next Day
I’ve been denying Jesus for many years. However, yesterday I prayed that if Jesus is the truth that I be led to evidence. Then today, I found this article on the internet. I do not even know how I found it; I do not think I was looking for it but suddenly I realized that my prayer was being answered. If Jesus is who He says He is then He is the answer to all that I have been seeking for all of my life. While reading this article the words were larger than the ink or computer script they are made of. I know one thing for certain: if Jesus is the truth, then I will surrender myself to Him.

The Engineer in Me Was Finally Satisfied
I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful work. I was never able to understand all the “buzz” surrounding Jesus Christ, despite regularly reading the Bible and attending church. Your excellent articles have changed that forever—concisely, overwhelmingly, unquestionably. I’m a 46-year-old computer engineer, and have never been satisfied by the teachings of my churches or church leaders. Engineers by nature require evidence backed by unwavering facts—that’s just how we’re built. Without a concise, logical, fully substantiated explanation about Jesus, “blind faith” looked like nothing more than folly to me. I have studied your articles with such intensity and hunger over the past weeks. Now and at last, the engineer in me is satisfied. I can freely believe and follow Jesus for what He really was, and is.

I Can No Longer Claim to Be an Atheist
I am not religious. I do not believe in God. I have always believed that Jesus existed, but was simply a great man. However, over the past two days, I have read everything on this site. I found 99 percent of everything I read to be quite interesting. I find that I am very receptive to what I have read because I don’t feel like I was preached to or forced to see your point of view. Because of this site, I don’t feel I can claim to be atheist anymore. I like being able to make informed decisions and that may be why I have rejected the thought of a God for so long—lack of information. It has given me a lot to think about. Thank you.

On Thanksgiving Day God Opened My Eyes and Heart
For the first time in my life, I read something today—on a Thanksgiving Day alone, after taking a long walk—truly amazing in easy understanding of the Word of God. I truly enjoyed it and it opened my eyes and heart. I was one of those doubters. I read the Bible but never truly believed in it. But God is good and opened my eyes and heart today. Please pray for me, my faith, my family, and most importantly to know God as my personal Savior. Thank you.

At 56, Logic Finally Let God Through
Thank you for finding me. Something I cannot explain had me searching for an answer I have never been able to reach until now. I thought I was an atheist; at best an agnostic, but truly I’m just a man who allowed his intelligence to build strong walls of disbelief in God or Jesus. I’m a chemical engineer whose logic became my own barrier to believe in anything larger than himself. I don’t understand how or why, but your writings spoke to me in a way for God to reach me for the first time in my 56 years of life. I spontaneously typed, “Is Jesus Real” into my iPad’s search engine and found this amazingly logical and helpful explanation. I am humbled for the first time in my life for the right reason.

The Articles Sparked Questions I Could No Longer Ignore
I gave up my faith in God many years ago. Well I can say this article certainly has me thinking about my life. I ask myself a lot, why am I here, why was I born, where am I going, what happens to me when I die. I have seen my brother in a casket after taking his own life. I have seen my father in his casket. I ask myself is there life after death, and who was Jesus? I am afraid of death, but not only afraid of death, but what lies ahead after I die. I did not intend on reading these articles. Came by chance at a time where I’m very down about decisions and performance in life. Has sparked an interest and will continue reading more.

I Finished the Prayer in Tears
I am 31 years old. I am in no way, shape or form a religious person and my personal belief in the story behind Jesus Christ and God has been very shaky. But the simple way the article was written helped me understand the story behind Christ better, so that I honestly can feel that it is true. That article just closed the voids of disbelief I’ve had for many years with the story behind Jesus Christ, and allowed me to honestly and fully believe in God. I’m not an overly emotional person but I literally started crying reading that prayer at the end of the article. I literally had tears falling off my face before I finished saying that prayer. Wow. I needed that. Thank you.

After 38 Years I Learned I Could Pray to Jesus Directly
After 38 years belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I read and reread these articles for hours. I have come to the conclusion that Christ lives. Beyond any attempt to rationalize it, I feel it in my heart, and somehow I am released. I never prayed to Jesus directly. It was only my “Big Brother” and I had no possibility of a personal approach because the doctrine prevented it. Now I think that Jesus Christ is much closer to me. I realize that my relationship with the Father is through Him and not a self-proclaimed prophet. He has done much to have helped me find this material—or perhaps it was no coincidence.

At 78 I Finally Understood Why Jesus Paid for Sin
I have always been a very scholarly person with religious feelings. I am currently 78 years old. Unfortunately my reasoning mind had not allowed me to understand why it is said that Jesus Christ paid our sins with His passion and death on the Cross—until now, when I finally understood and accepted because of this magnificent writing. The example of how a loving father can sacrifice his life in return for the life of a son condemned to death for his crimes or sins proved to be very effective and sobering for me. Thank you. I now see Jesus with greater appreciation. My soul is very happy because now I feel that God (Jesus Christ) abides in me as the Eternal Father.

In One Day I Understood Why Christ Died for Me
After reading this whole article in just under 24 hours, I got to understand God’s purpose for me and the death of Christ Jesus for the remission of my sins. I now know that without Jesus my life is nothing. After reading this I became more enlightened about God and His Son our Lord and Savior. I want to continue to learn more and more about God and Jesus Christ.
