The Gospel of John records
The gospel of John records this incident between Jesus and some people gathered in the temple,
“Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
“The Jews gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one.
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
“We are not stoning you for any of these,” replied the Jews, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.” John 10:24-33
Here we see a clear example that has existed from the day Jesus walked the earth until today. You either believe Jesus is the Son of God, The Saviour of mankind, God incarnate or you do not. The choice is yours. God will not force anything on you.
God in creating mankind gave each individual free will to do as they wish. That includes believing in Him or not.
Thus the choice is yours.
Before you make that choice however I would ask you to at least read for yourself the New Testament so you can see for yourself what the early believers, believed about Jesus.
Please think about it.
