Every so often I get asked how I know that my religion is right. My answer is: I don't know if it's right. Then of course they want to know how it is that I believe in my religion when I don't know whether it's right.

I have seldom been asked the question but my answers tend to express 1. that I have no proof that my choice is right but I do have hope because of all the religious systems Christianity is the most hopeful that all evil and suffering will end...and faith is hope, not proof.


And 2. Christianity is the best religion to explain what has happened to me in my life. The experiences I've had and the changes I've undergone...none are explained by other religions hardly at all let alone as well as Christianity explains them.

Ted you said:" 1. that I have no proof that my choice is right but I do have hope because of all the religious systems Christianity is the most hopeful that all evil and suffering will end...and faith is hope, not proof."

You have reason to worry and ask questions! for those who are truly saved are at peace with themselves and GOD.

We see this in Paul's Rom 5:1.....
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"

Would be good for you to re-evaluate your walk with Jesus and His WORD!
