You can feel free to make suggestions. Perhaps we could find a topic somewhere in the reasons you have for being a Christian?

How about this? Let me ask you a question: what would you say is the most compelling reason you have for believing in Christianity?

I would say the most compelling reason I have for believing Christianity is the witness or testimony of the Holy Spirit within me. He began testifying to me of the truths of Christianity beginning with my conversion experience which occurred in 2006. Since then, the testimony of the Spirit of God within me has been affirming and reaffirming the truth of the Word of God. This witness within me, this mighty working of God within my soul has been manifested in innumerable ways. Most evidently in the change of heart that I have been experiencing. This evidence, this perceptible and visible change in my thinking, my conduct, my desires, my perception of reality, etc. I am able to trace all of these things back to my conversion experience. The scripture uses various terms when speaking of this experience. In some places it is referred to as a "quickening". In other places it is referred to as "regeneration". In other places it is referred to as being "born again".

To be concise, the most compelling reason I have is the fact that in 2006, God brought me into a relationship with Himself.
