Welcome to Lesson Seven!
Reasons for belief
Why do you believe what you believe? If you are a Christian, why have you chosen to follow Jesus? How does it make sense for you? (And, if you are not a Christian, why have you chosen a different path?) Take a moment and write down your reasons.
Over the years, I’ve thought about this question many times, and I’ve come up with a list of seven reasons why I choose Jesus. You can read my reasons here on pages 94–102 of your reading.
So… how does your list compare to mine? I would love for you to share your thoughts at our Facebook group.

Look forward to seeing you next time!
