There are thousands of other questions along these lines, and for the most part, they have one answer: 

Seek God through His Word.
There is nothing more to say. It is, in fact, that simple. “Consequently, many of them believed…”

Read the Bible. Do it daily. Don’t glance over it. Spend dedicated time in it. Ask God to guide your heart with His Holy Spirit and teach you. Be a ‘good Berean’ and examine the Word to find His answers as you GoLove others.
