Now you are probably asking, "who is Jesus and why should I follow him"? Jesus is a name known by billions throughout the world. To each, this name means something different: savior, friend, philosopher, prophet, teacher, fraud, fake, and liar. Some even believe that He is just an imaginary character from the minds of those who wrote about Him. Jesus was the Son of God who lived at Nazareth and announced the coming of the kingdom of God. He was put of the earth in the time of the Roman Empire to sacrifice his life for us from the consequences of our sins.

One way of proving that the Bible is true is by considering the amount of archeological evidence that exists. In the Christian walk the bible is essential to really understand what Jesus did for us on the cross. We must rely on the bible to get closer to God.

Over 35 million people refer to themselves as born again Christians. (Christianity on Rise Pg. 368. Soc Book.) The Lord says trust in me and I will make your path straight.
