Summary

Do you want anything: less pain, more purpose, or a longer life? Jesus wants to give you all that is good (Matthew 7:7), so long as you change your life to not hurt others (Matthew 16:24). No other religion, politics, or science has evidence of a sinless (Hebrews 4:15) Being who was resurrected (I Corinthians 15:4-6). Only Jesus is offering you everything with the highest of evidence. Do you believe a Higher Being could have created this universe, and that He has a plan to save it (John 3:16)? We have a list of reasons why you should consider caring about Him (Hebrews 4:15).

  3. Highest IQ Holder: YoungHoon Kim (276) is 1 in a billion in intelligence, and he professes Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Concepts

Experience

Christianity heals pain.

Most Christians choose Jesus because of a personal “testimony” of God saving them from some evil. God promises that everyone who seeks anything good will find it if they ask, like knocking on a door of a library (Matthew 7:7). You won’t lose anything by looking up and saying, “Jesus, if You’re listening, tell me how to get what I want.” It could be pointless, but a seed of faith can do anything (Luke 17:6).

Christianity solves needs.

Most honestly would say that they naturally want more: a better body, more money, better relationships, love, etc. (I John 2:16). Science and other religions offer this, but say you have to work for it. Work is good (Proverbs 12:14), but what about when you can’t work enough: what if you want a billion-dollar house or healthy relationships but you know 3 lifetimes won’t be enough to get it? Jesus offers you an abundant earthly life (John 10:10) and many riches in heaven (Matthew 6:19-20). Although it’s free (Ephesians 2:8-9), you will have to obey Jesus, who only wants what’s best for humanity (Matthew 7:21).

Christianity is the largest religion.

Christianity has the most followers and compared to other large religions like Islam or Hinduism, Christianity gains more followers from conversions. There is a larger percentage of Muslims and Hindus who are systematically religious because their parents wanted them to be instead of having a personal relationship with God. The main reason why these beliefs have persisted so long is because of a culture of submission to elders coupled with a high birth rate.

Logic

Christianity forgives wrongs.

Everyone believes in justice (Proverbs 21:2), but do you believe you should be punished for your wrongdoings? Many think that only exceptionally bad people deserve earthly prisons or spiritual punishment like hell, but all humans seek perfection. Everyone wants eternal bliss (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and the only logical way to have it is to remove evil. With this logic, doing more good than bad cannot save you. Even if God doesn’t exist, humans would keep evolving until they eventually create a dystopia where all sin is punished. Jesus offers something much easier: just believe in Him and you won’t have to pay for your sins (Romans 3:25).

Christianity has a perfect Leader.

From a historical point of view, it’s interesting that only 1 person out of the 15 billion that existed claimed and proved perfection. Many have claimed to be God, but only 1 claimed to be sinless (Hebrews 4:15). Doesn’t it make sense that those who want to live a better life should want to hear the opinions of a person who lived a perfect life? Over 500 people were eyewitnesses to His perfection and resurrection from the dead (I Corinthians 15:4-6).

Christianity’s Leader is God.

Unlike all other religions where their main leader claims to be just a man, our leader Jesus Christ is God Himself. If you’re wondering why Jesus never said, “I am God” more directly, it’s because He never praises Himself (Proverbs 27:2), being perfectly humble (Isaiah 57:15; Matthew 11:29). The whole point of faith is to see if we believe Jesus is God or not (I John 4:2-3; John 20:31).

  1. One: Jesus said He is one with the Father (John 10:30) who is God (John 6:27).
  2. Son of God: Jesus’ enemies thought He claimed to be God because He called God His Father (John 10:33; John 5:18). The Son of God is God (Luke 22:70-71).
  3. Disciples: Jesus’ disciples said directly that He is God (John 20:28; 1:18; Tit 2:13), including the early church within the first century.
  4. I AM: Jesus said before Abraham existed, He existed. This was a claim to divinity and is why His enemies wanted to kill Him (John 8:58-59; Exodus 3:14).
  5. Creator: The God who created the world (Gen 1:1) is Jesus Christ (John 1:3; Heb 1:2). The plurality of the Trinity is found in the word “us” (Gen 1:26).
  6. Old Testament Prophecy: Isaiah prophesied that a newborn child would be our “Mighty God” (Is 9:6) sitting on the throne of David (Is 9:7; Luke 1:31-32).

Society

Christianity modernized government.

All of the largest and most influential non-Christian kingdoms expanded and maintained their power through murder (Exodus 20:13), such as the Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, Qing Dynasty, Inca Empire, and various African empires. This prevented long-term peace and prosperity. Yet Christians changed this:

  1. [800s] Alfred the Great was the first to codify meekness and the 10 Commandments in his Doom book to replace the strongest ruling by murder. He popularized civil discussion.
  2. [1700s] George Washington was the first president of the United States. He attended various churches of varying denominations and preached tolerance for Catholics.
  3. [17-1800s] Thomas Jefferson is known as a principal author of USA’s governmental principles. He was a Christian deist who wrote about Jesus’ morals.
  4. [1900s] Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) was a US civil rights activist, beloved by almost everyone. He was a Baptist minister who sees his civil duty as his ministry.
  5. [19-2000s] Nelson Mandela fought against many racist policies in South Africa. He was a devout Christian who refused to join atheist Communist parties.

There are also many great non-Christian reformers who revere Jesus Christ:

  1. [1800s] Abraham Lincoln was a US president who led the US Civil War to end slavery. He often praised the Bible, quoted it, expressed a need for God, and attended church.
  2. [18-1900s] Gandhi is a famous nonviolent civil rights leader who fought colonialism and untouchability. He said Jesus was one of the greatest teachers and the Son of God.

Christianity modernized education.

After God gave the 10 Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:7-21), He immediately tells everyone to study them and write them down (Deuteronomy 6:7-9). The 15th century BC was the first time any society prioritized literacy. Around 500 AD, Benedict of Nursia created the first monasteries, places to educate oneself about the Bible. This later evolved into the modern notion of the university through the University of Paris in the 1100s. It was also primarily dedicated to studying theology. In the 14-1500s, literacy became the majority with Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation desiring everyone to read the Bible in their modern German language. This was possible through Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press, which printed many copies of the Bible. It was this explosion of biblical literacy in the 1500s that created the Scientific Revolution and all of modern literature and education.

Christianity modernized philanthropy.

There is no other religion or group in history before the Christians that advocated to freely give their own personal money to strangers who aren’t of their social tribe for the benefit of society as a whole:

  1. Early Church: They were one of the first groups ever to advocate at scale to give freely to the poor (II Cor 9:9).
  2. Catholics and Mainline Protestants: They statistically have had some of the largest charities.
  3. Nondenominationals: They are a large group in 2026 with the highest percentage of person income given away for charity.

Christianity modernized income generation.

As of 2023, the 10 countries with the highest GDP per capita are predominately Christian. All of these countries are in Europe or were heavily influenced by Europe, where Christianity ruled for about 1000 years. By comparison, the 10 countries with the lowest GDP per capita are all in Africa (besides Afghanistan). Africa didn’t become predominately Christian until the 18th century, and unlike most wealthy countries that have about 3/4 of the land as believers, Africa is still at 49%, with 42% being Muslim. For perspective, despite Africa being 3x larger, its total GDP PPP is $8T in 2022, while the USA is $25T.

Christianity modernized healthcare.

The modern notion of the hospital was popularized by Christians during the Middle Ages. Many groups such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and those who swear the Hippocratic Oath use the Rod of Asclepius (see image) as their symbol. It is believed this symbol is derived from the Bible, a reminder that God is the source of our health (Numbers 21:8-9).

Christianity modernized science.

The following is a list of renowned scientists, their primary accomplishments, and how Trinitarian Christianity played a role in their work:

  1. [15-1600s] Johannes Kepler created his laws of planetary motion and was a pioneer in astrology. He believed God created the cosmos, and fought for Christian unity.
  2. [15-1600s] Galileo Galilei was a founder of astronomy, classical physics, and modern science. He was a devout Christian, and made many scientific reforms in the church.
  3. [15-1600s] Francis Bacon is the father of empiricism, famous for enhancing inductive reasoning and philosophy.  He often defended the faith through unity to combat atheism.
  4. [1600s] René Descartes is the father of modern philosophy and did much work in the sciences. He claimed to receive revelations from God.
  5. [1600s] Blaise Pascal enhanced studies of geometry, fluids, and especially pressure. He wrote often about Christian apologetics.
  6. [1600s] Robert Boyle was one of the first modern chemists, pioneered the scientific method, and discovered Boyle’s Law. He greatly funded missionaries.
  7. [1800s] Michael Faraday made discoveries in electromagnetic induction and electrolysis. Einstein had a picture of him. He was also a deacon and elder at his local church.
  8. [1800s] Gregor Mendel is the founder of modern genetics, and created many rules of heredity. Much of the funding of his work came as being a friar for the Catholic Church.
  9. [1800s] Wilhelm Wundt is the father of modern psychology who encouraged the study of the mind and human behavior. His gravestone quotes John 4:24.
  10. [1800s] Charles Babbage is the father of the computer, and he prayed daily.

Supporters of Christianity modernized science.

There are also many scientists who are fond of Jesus or Christianity but deny the Trinity:

    1. [16-1700s] Sir Isaac Newton formulated the laws of motion and developed theories on gravity and planetary motion. He also was passionate about theology.
    2. [1700s] James Watt was the Father of the Industrial Revolution, famous for the steam engine and concepts behind power. He was a deist who identified with Christianity.
    3. [1800s] Samuel Morse created the telegraph and the Morse code. He dedicated large sums to charity and created a lectureship on “the relation of the Bible to the Sciences.”
    4. [18-1900s] Nikola Tesla made great contributions to AC electricity and the motor. He believes intelligence comes from God and studied the Bible.
    5. [18-1900s] Albert Einstein created the theory of relativity and E=mc^2. He liked Jesus’ teachings and said, “the aspiration toward truth…springs from the sphere of religion.“
    6. [2000s] Elon Musk made strides in electric cars and space flight as the richest man. He believes in Jesus’ teachings and said without Christianity, the West would collapse.

FAQ

Why did Jesus come during the Roman Empire?

The Father sent the Son at the “fullness of time” (Gal 4:4; Eph 1:10), but exactly why was that 0AD?

  1. Fullness of Condemnation: The old covenant was fully proven to be faulty (II Cor 3:7,9; Heb 8:7). Jesus couldn’t come before non-merciful judgment proved to fail.
  2. Evangelism: This was the first time that the world was connected, via trade routes. It was the first time Jesus could say to proclaim the gospel globally (Mk 16:15).
  3. Peace: Their Pax Romana was the global period of peace that allowed for ideas to transfer.
  4. Common Language: Most spoke various local languages; but, the Romans provided Koine Greek as a common tongue for all.
  5. Optimal Suffering: Jesus needed to suffer the most to sympathize with us (Heb 2:10). The Romans optimized suffering through their cross-based torture.
