Christian Beliefs
The opening verses of the book of Hebrews states,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father’” ?
Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son” ?
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
He also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” Hebrews 1:1-12.
What is said here makes it very clear who Christians believe Jesus is, the Son of God, God incarnate, the creator of the universe Saviour of man.

As a Christian I present these basic facts to you the reader to decide for yourself whether or not you believe them.
Before you make your final decision however I would ask that you at least take time on your own to read the New Testament at the very least. Pray and ask God to show you the truth. If you do have any questions visit a Church near you. I recommend Baptist churches. Ask to see the pastor and ask him you questions. An honest pastor will take time to see you and explain what he believes to you without obligation in any way.
