Based on what I learned from that Bible study, I decided I would read Luke’s biography of Jesus. Over the month of August I read this book, paying close attention to what Jesus did and said. During that time I came to believe that that God judges sin, expecting us to be absolutely perfect in not only our behavior but our thoughts. I also came to believe Jesus was the son of God who came to offer us forgiveness and a way back to God. I couldn’t point to a single verse or moment, but somewhere in those pages, the story became personal. It wasn’t just words on a page. It was God’s word revealing to me who I am and how Jesus is. I moved from curiosity to fear to belief to relief. This is a third change of mind from agnosticism to belief.
