Started reading abit of the book by Lee Strobel: The Case For Christ. A few interesting points that have arisen in my reading so far:
· Jesus claimed to be God, a claim that ultimately got him killed. Was Jesus willing to die for a lie, or was he willing to die because he believed he was telling the truth? In reading the gospels it becomes apparent that Jesus didn’t just claim to be God; he believed it.
· Other religions of the world are based on people doing something to earn the favor of God. They must do good deeds, or faithfully follow religious drills. However Christianity is based on what Christ has already done on the cross. Nobody can do anything to earn Gods favor; rather, Jesus offers forgiveness and eternal life as a gift.
