He is not the “Jewish/Christian” God.

He is God.

He chose the Jews for a special purpose, which they have fulfilled and are still fulfilling to this day.

Jesus and all the first believers were Jews.

You could think of Biblical Jews as pre-Messianic, and Biblical Christians as post-Messianic.

Everyone is saved the same way: faith in the Messiah to come (Old Testament) or faith in the Messiah who came and is coming again (New Testament).

He made the Gospel so simple, even a child could understand it, and that by design.

You don’t have to give up anything. Simply acknowledge Him for who He is, accept Him as Messiah, and He will transform your life. For some it’s dramatic and sudden. For others, it’s a process over time.

My personal experience was that He cleaned up my speech and my behavior almost immediately. Since being baptized, I have not had, nor desired, an alcoholic drink or a recreational drug, and have not had any sexual relations outside of my marriage.

There are many other matters that are being cleaned up more slowly; my patience with others, my diligence with the finances He so graciously provides me.

Two things I can recommend for you, if you have any interest at all.

First is a dramatization series of people who have been through the ringer and have had their lives completely transformed by faith in Jesus Christ.

Second is J. Vernon McGee, an old-time preacher with a distinct voice and accent. Though he has since left this plane, his messages are as relevant and poignant as ever. He conducts a 5 year Bible Study program that has led many thousands to the bosom of Jesus over the years.
