Welcome dear friend! Nice to meet you, My name is Donato, i'm 18 and i'm from italy. In my opinion searching well will lead you to an answer to your questions.. My advice is to ask God to show you the way and to lead you to him. it's written in the Bible:
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
If you'll search for Him with all your heart and ask him to show you the way he'll do it!
Anyway I feel honored to share with you what we believe:
- We believe that as we are all sinners:
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
- God so loved the world that sent his Son Jesus Christ on the heart for our salvation:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
He died on the cross carrying all our sins. So that we are justified of our sins believing in his sacrifice.
Many prophets prophetized about Jesus much time before he came on this world, for example Isaiah:
Isaiah chapter 53:
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11 After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied ;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors
You can find all this in the Bible. If you want to know more you can read the Gospels, they explain very well what Jesus did and why God sent him
Please feel free to ask! Greetings from italy
