If you are given a nice house, but have to return it to the owner after five years, you won’t think you possess it. Maybe you just want to take the most advantage of it. This is the status of your life. You have a life. You also have many properties, titles, powers, relationships, etc. Someday you won’t have this life. You won’t have properties, titles, powers, relationships, etc. either. You may even think you have nothing at this time.
     In this book, we often reach a conclusion that Christianity can be right or wrong. We can’t give any definite proof for Christianity. Nevertheless, Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?” Similarly, if the world provides definite evidence that you have to believe in Jesus Christ, what reward will you get for believing in him? Most likely, there is no unchallengeable argument of whether you have to believe a religion or whether Christianity is the right one if you want to believe. You have to run the risk yourself.
     But if Christianity is true, it will be too good. Our hope for the everlasting, our hope for happiness, our hope for safety, our hope for being with the people we love forever, are right there. Why should we care so much about those things in life, yet miss the opportunity for a better world? Here is a chance for you to trade nothing for everything. You received the privilege of existence and you are experiencing your life now. If possible, you should want to have this status forever. Even if you hate many things in this life, maybe the afterlife will be better.
     Imagine you are in front of the omnipotent God who promises to give you everything. What will you ask? I will ask him to tell me many fancy mathematical methods that will be discovered hundreds of years from now and the solutions to many difficult mathematical problems that no mathematician is currently able to answer. I will ask him whether superstrings are the building blocks of all materials in the universe, and, if they are, how quarks and leptons are constructed by them, and how four elementary forces are unified by a theory based on these ideas. I will ask him to give me a chance to see the universe in the first several minutes after the big bang, and a chance to observe how stars and galaxies were formed millions of years later. I will ask him to bring me to see the scenes of the early earth when life was just beginning in the ocean, and the scenes of the era when dinosaurs were ruling the earth. I will ask him to take me to fly through the space at one thousand times the speed of light to experience the excitement of flying, which I saw in sci-fi movies, and to explore many amazing views in the universe, such as the center of a galaxy, the process of a star being devoured by a black hole, the explosion of a supernova, the stunning image of a nebula, etc. Because of the arguments in this book, I believe God exists, and perhaps he will fulfill my wishes.
     Do you have your own wishes? Maybe the eternal life offered in Christianity is real, and God will fulfill your wishes. You have been given the most complex and advanced living structure in the world, your body. You also own a gift that nothing in the whole universe can possess, your self-consciousness. The universe where your body and self-consciousness reside provides evidence that there is a God who has infinite power, immeasurable wisdom, and serious concerns for righteousness, and that Christianity is the truth from God. You should put your hope of eternity on this. You should read the Bible, go to church, and believe in Jesus Christ.
