Historacity. That's a word that you don't hear much. It's like historical verification, undesputed facts. Well, historacity is a reason that I am a Christian, not just one who spouts "I believe in God," but an honest to goodness, sold out, 100% Christian. This doesn't mean that I'm perfect. This doesn't mean I don't have problems. It means that I follow Christ to the best of my ability and allow God to change me from who I am to who He wants me to be.
It is historacity, specifically, the historical FACT that Jesus rose from the dead that I could not dispute and could not escape. I read books by people who disputed the resurrection, and they just could not give me a reasonable argument (even when I went through a period of not following Jesus).
Lee Strobel is another who sought to disprove Christianity (as did others like Josh McDowell and C.S. Lewis to name a few) that could not, and so came to belief. I'll let you read Stobel in his own words.
And that's it. What it comes down to is if the resurrection is fake, nothing matters. This life is meaningless. But if it is real, nothing ELSE matters.
