Christ came and showed us the way and that when we follow the path of the cross, we find forgiveness, love, and the living presence of Christ around us and in us, surrounding us and giving peace and life. When we give from ourselves out of love for our neighbor, we become bearers of the Holy Spirit, that is, living temples of the divine presence of God. This is by the Holy Spirit and has been attained by God Himself, Who came down from Heaven because men could not reach it on their own, and healed what no man could heal before,- namely, death and the power of sin. In complete perfection, Christ performed His holy ministry.
Christ is Lord because He is the Savior of Mankind, Who became everything so that God might fill everything and restore it, - indeed, renew it.
Wizardwatson understands this, and this is not a rude position. It is a statement of belief, a confession (martyrion in Greek). He does this because in his life he has encountered Christ.
As foretold in the Holy Scriptures, as prophecized by the Prophets, as occurred in reality in a cave in Jerusalem, God has come to restore us from death into life, and from evil into good and eternal loving communion with Him, by the grace of the Holy Spirit of God. A Holy Trinity in self-giving love.
Self-giving is the very essence of 'love', a word, which is the also the closest word man in his limited mind can use to describe the unapproachable and divine essence of God. For 'God is love' as written by the Evangelist and Holy Apostle John.
Christ does indeed wish to convert your heart, and all men's hearts. The Spirit does beckon and makes Himself felt and heard. In the deep voice of the man's conscience and in the 'coincidences' which happen in the course of one's life, the awake man will sense the Spirit of God and the presence of the Jesus Christ and the love of the Father.
All we must do is allow Him. So simple! It's easy when our Father in Heaven loves us!
When we believe a little, God gives us more. When we suffer in His Name, even with the little we give, He graciously pours out His Holy Spirit, giving comfort, joy, peace, and life. This has been accomplished by the Son of the Virgin, Whose Father is in Heaven, the divine Logos and Savior of mankind Jesus Christ.
Wizardwatson already believes this. And so he should. The greatest men and women who walked this earth have believed it and are remembered even today, though most have been forgotten, as Saints who worship before the altar of God and pray for the world. Many who were born and raised with other doctrines and came to see the truth in Christ.
