How do we know that Jesus is the Messiah?
If you believe in the accuracy of the Holy Scriptures, you can see how Jesus Christ truly fulfilled what was said about what he (the Messiah) would be like and what he would do.* Everything that was foretold about him in the Holy Scriptures, Jesus fulfilled and was recorded by both secular and religious writers.* Our part is whether we believe it or not. The historical evidence is there, but you must seek him by faith in order to know him personally. Please understand this is a living relationship we are talking about, not a religion or belief system. He wants you to know him personally and it will amaze you when you discover a loving Savior who knows and cares for you. God wants to be your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ wants to be your Savior and Friend. Believe me if you’ll take that step of faith, repent of your sins and commit your life to Christ, you won’t be disappointed and you’ll never regret it.
