I have to write an Essay explaining why I would like to be a Christian. Could Your Grace please help me?

Some helpful points are:

Inner Peace: Christianity gives inner peace to those who are close to God. Our Lord is in charge and is always taking care of us (Psalm 23).

God-Man Relationship: In Christianity, God is not like any other god. He is not our Master, but He is our Father and wants us to be His children. This relation between God and man is unique to Christianity.

Sacrificial Love: In no other religion will you find God loving His people to the point of giving His Only Begotten Son; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Loving Others: Although most religions invite their followers to love one another; Christianity is the only religion that invites her children not only to love one another; but also to love their enemies as themselves.

Forgiveness: If loving others is easy, forgiving others is definitely not that easy. Christianity is the religion of forgiveness. We ask God every time we recite the Lord's Prayer; we ask God to forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the ultimate example of forgiveness when, on the Cross, He asked the Father to forgive those who were about to crucify Him.

There is no religion in the world like Christianity that preaches so much love and practices it on a daily basis.
