Why Can't You Keep Your Beliefs to Yourself?

I was recently asked, "Why can't you keep your beliefs to yourself?"

We could, but why would we want to? We just want to share the joy, grace, mercy, and forgiveness that we feel. We want you to feel the love and the joy and peace  that we get from Jesus. We want you to get hope from Jesus. There's more than just records of creation and stories in the Bible - it's a manual to life and the world. It has all the answers. It also records the life of Jesus, who lived a perfect life with no sin to show how to live a life like His that was perfect. We look up to Him and try to be more like Him everyday. We also find forgiveness, and we don't have to carry guilt on our shoulders. Jesus shows us how to live a perfect life. We are never going to live a perfect life, and we will still sin while we are Christians, so if we sin, we have to pay for it. False. Jesus came and took everyone's (everyone who believes in Him) punishment of sin on the cross. It was a legal transaction of payment from you to Jesus Christ. Can there be a moral atheist? Yes. But why live in morality if there's no reason to live. There is not even a moral standard of atheist or non-believers' morality. Are you more than a body and flesh? Or do you just live and disappear like dust? Doesn't there have to be more? The Lord loves you. He will never let you down - He will turn your life around. He will give you a new meaning to life.

Please consider it.

Why would someone want to keep gold that they found to themselves when there is a surplus to pass around - enough for the human race? But this is serious, this is not gold! It's your eternity and it's much more important! We love you so much and never want you to regret anything.

In the end,

If I'm wrong about God, I've wasted my life. If you're wrong about God, you've wasted eternity.
