Dear reader,
Have you ever thought about where you came from? What the
origins of life are? Why we are here on this earth? Those
are very thought provoking questions indeed. When you see
a painting,logically there has to be a painter right?
When you see a building there must be a builder right? As
you look up in the heavens(stars, galaxies,etc), that
creation must have a creator! God is the reason for all
of us humans.Unfortunately we have all sinned against Him
by breaking his commandments.Have you ever told a lie?
stolen something? used God's name in vain? Lusted after
another person? Think about this: If a person robs another
person he deserves justice(punishment) right? A person
who robs is a robber, one who lies is a liar, one who
hates is a hater. God also says in his commandments to
honor your mother and father, to not idolize things in
his/her life that takes the place of God, to not covet
things of another person. God gave us free-will because
he loves us. Unfortunately, we all have fallen short of
his standards and laws. He cannot let a sin go unpunished
because a good God has to hold us accountable for our
actions. When you die you will have to face God on
Judgement day. That's a scary thought. Imagine being
found guilty of these shortcomings. Justice must be
served. For all these sins God declares, you will be
punished and separated from God for eternity. I beg you
to LISTEN to your conscious, you are guilty! God says if
you even break ONE of his commandments it's as though you
broke all of them! But our God is a merciful God. He
became a man(in Jesus Christ), suffered and died on the
cross, taking your punishment upon Himself. He
resurrected on the third day, defeating death. We broke
the law and Jesus paid our fine: "For God so loved the
world that he sent his Son(Jesus), that whoever believes
in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
John 3:16. Repent(turn from your sins) and genuinely
place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins and you will be
saved(go to heaven). If you are an unbeliever please
do not postpone this decision, for you don't know if you
have tomorrow(death can come before you know it). It's
your choice. I share this because it would be selfish on
my part to hold back the Truth in myself.
