Christian
Because it corresponded exactly with how I perceived God, myself, and the world, and I have never heard a better explanation of life and humanity from either the atheists, or any other theistic group since then.
Bible tells a Christians is a disciple of Jesus. And a disciple of Jesus is a person who remains in word of Jesus. I want to do that, because I think his words are good and true.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:31-32
…The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

John 20:29
"Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Very good scriptural application. Although I was around those called Christians for many years (and even sang in church very beautiful music on a professional basis), I did not believe in God or Christ until I prayed finally and those that I consider as followers of Christ met me and studied the Bible with me for several years until I decided to get baptized. I am thankful.
