Religion can by NO MEANS help a person. Only a personal relationship with Christ can. Christ came to earth, lived a life pleasing to God and then died so that if we believe in Him and what He has done, we will have eternal life in His kingdom (heaven)with Him and not separated from Him (hell). Christ... He is my WAY of life. I believe in Him with everything that's in me. Jesus is this world's answer whether you want to believe it or not. If you choose "or not" then you will one day see the Truth and know with everything there is in you to know, that He is Lord. But by then, it will be too late. But there is still now! You still have a chance to know God, know His love for you and be with Him for ETERNITY! And that is a great thing! Read on and see if you can accept... I believe... (and you can too!) |
 God is the loving ruler of the world, who made the world and made us rulers of the world under Him. "You are worthy, our Lord and God to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." Revelation 4:11 But is that the way it is now? |
 We all reject God by trying to run life our own way without Him. But we fail to rule ourselves or society or the world! "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no-one who understands, no-one who seeks God. All have turned away." Romans 3:10-12 What will God do about this rebellion? |
 God won't let us rebel forever. God's punishment for rebellion is death and judgement. "Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement." Hebrews 9:27 God's justice sounds hard. But..... |
 Because of his love, God sent his son into the world: the man Jesus Christ. Jesus always lived under God's rule. Yet by dying in our place he took our punishment and brought forgiveness. "Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18 But that's not all..... |
 God raised Jesus to life again as the ruler of the world. Jesus has conquered death, now gives new life, and will return to judge. "In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Peter 1:3 Well, where does that leave us? |
 Reject the ruler - God, and try and run life our own way. RESULT: Condemned by God, facing death and judgement. GOD'S NEW WAY: Submit to Jesus as our ruler. Rely on Jesus' death and resurrection. RESULT: Forgiven by God and given eternal life. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36 |

Which of these represents the way you ARE living? Which of these represents the way you WANT to live? What must I do? |
|
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
John 3:16-21 |
