Here are 10 actual and factual reasons to believe in Jesus:

Jesus accurately foretold, several times, that he would have a worldwide spiritual impact. Today we have actual proof of his accuracy as a prophet: There are more than 2.3 billion Christians throughout the world.
Through the spread of Christianity, Jesus is the first religious figure in history to have ever established a following within each of the world’s continents. Today, there are even churches in Antarctica, which does not have a permanent population. Learn more in the book 301 Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus, by Ray Konig.
Jesus achieved a worldwide following many centuries before the rise of mass-communications tools, such as radio, television and the internet. Learn more in the book 301 Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus, by Ray Konig.
Christianity is the only religion in the world that has a majority presence within one or more countries on each of the world’s inhabitable continents.
Jesus is unique among all religious figures in that he is the fulfillment of more than 300 prophecies in the Old Testament, which were written long before he was born. No other religious figure can offer anything like this.
The prophets of the Old Testament accurately predicted every major detail involving Jesus, including his lineage, birth, life, ministry, mission, death, resurrection and impact of Jesus as the Messiah.
Jesus accurately predicted the worldwide scattering of the Jews, who later became the first and only group of people to be forcibly scattered to each of the world’s inhabitable continents.
Jesus accurately predicted that Jerusalem would be trampled upon by Gentiles until the Age of Gentiles comes to an end. Jerusalem has been under Gentile control since the time of Jesus.
Jesus is the most famous and most documented and most attested miracle worker, by far, that the ancient world has to offer. The New Testament record at least 50 occasions during which Jesus performed miracles, such as healing people or showing a divine command over the forces of nature.
Jesus accurately predicted his own death and resurrection. His followers willingly risked their own lives to evangelize about him. Their work put Christianity on a trajectory to become the first religion to spread worldwide.
