I have always been a follower of Jesus. And though I know not all of you are, an article recently caught my attention (and if some triggered atheist tries to shoot this down, so be it). Here is a reason to believe in God. Assisted by the probability theory.
Pascal's Wager
"God is, or God is not. Reason cannot decide between the two alternatives.
A Game is being played... where heads or tails will turn up.
You must wager (it is not optional).
Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is. (...) There is here an infinity of an infinitely happy life to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number of chances of loss, and what you stake is finite. And so our proposition is of infinite force, when there is the finite to stake in a game where there are equal risks of gain and of loss, and the infinite to gain. God some cannot believe. They should then 'at least learn your inability to believe...' and 'Endeavour then to convince' themselves.
Summary: "He is saying that if you say there is no God, and there is, then you missed an opportunity for a life of eternal happiness. But if you believe in God, and there turns out not to be one, then nothing good or bad happens after death. So the better choice would be to believe in God"
Merry Christmas!
