Beginning the search A very good starting point in searching for the truth, if you can do so honestly, is to pray a prayer something like this: God, I don't know much about you, but if you are really there I would like to get to know you. I am sincerely prepared to do some honest thinking about you and I want you to guide me in my search for the truth. I am prepared to follow wherever that truth might lead. It is important to respect each person's right to formulate their own beliefs, even if those beliefs may be wrong. For that reason I do not wish to criticise any other religion. However, in order to make a choice we must be clear about the differences. Each religion has certain things that are distinctive to that particular religion. In this booklet I have chosen six areas which are distinctive to Christianity. As we go through I will point out some differences with other religions. You, the reader, must decide where you go from there. The six areas I will be looking at concern:
The character
of its founder, Jesus Its analysis
of our real problem Its answer to our
problems The way by which
we receive forgiveness The victory it
offers over death and evil The kind of commitment
it asks of us as followers

With so many Religions, why Christianity? Beginning the search The character of its founder, Jesus Its analysis of our real problem The way by which we see forgiveness A victory over evil and death which has already been won The kind of commitment it asks of its members
