I believe there is an enity that exists in a state that is different than our own. A state in which the enity
can interact with us but we can not sense it (boy, do I hate calling God an it so I will call it Him). God
existed long before we did, like forever. I do not have any trouble beliving that He can exist without me ever
seeing Him or talking to Him. Likewise, I don't grab the ends of a live wire. I have never seen electricity
but I have seen its affects. I have seen the effects of God in lives He has changed.
Why would God care the least little bit considering how He has been treated. He does! What is love? An
emotion? An act? Nah, its more than that. There's more about this later.
The world. I believe that this God made this physical reality that we enjoy, and us. Does God love the world?
He enjoys His creation, but this should really be personalize to read, "For God so loves Me." He loves each
and every person that has every existed. How much does He love us? Continue on.
His only Son? This is where Jesus comes in. Jesus is the Son of God. Not that the life of the human Jesus was
the beginning and end of the person but that this human was really God come to Earth in human form. Jesus was
part of God before anything else was created. There is no one or nothing else like Jesus.
So why would God allow His only Son come here? What is it about Jesus' life that represents God's love. To
understand this I had to look into God's instruction manual, the Bible. The Bible shows us that humans, men and women,
were first created to shared their existence with the Living God. But something happened that drove a wedge
between us and God. It was and is called Sin.
Sin is doing things that are contracy to God's desire for us. Sin broke God's heart. If someone would hurt us
that way we would never have anything to do with them again. But because God LOVES us, He allowed His Son to
provide a way to make things right between us.
"Well, I never sinned", you say. Sorry, man, but "All have sinned" it says in the Bible. There is no one that
has not sinned. We all need Jesus.
Ok. What did Jesus do. God had set up a way with the Jews that they could make an animal sacrifice to cover
over their sins with the animal's blood. What Jesus had to do was follow that same pattern. He was a
sacrifice. He had to shed His blood. He did that on the cross. BUT
that was not the end.
Whosoever means like anyone. God's love is poured out to anyone no matter where they are, no matter what their
situation, no matter what they may have done. People are more judgemental than God is of us.
Whosoever, that means You, too!
Here's the catch. I knew you were waiting. You have to send me $1,000. JUST KIDDING.
Listen carefully. All I had to do was believe in Him. Believe that this supreme enity's Son, Jesus, is who he
says He is. Knowing it in my head and believing it in my heart. Jesus isn't kidding.
So what?
Well, I believe that what I really am will continue on after I
shed this flesh and bone house. My consciousness, my spirit, will continue on forever. I will not just become
part of the cosmos. I know I do not want to go through THIS again.(Yuck)! God tells us, throught the Bible,
that there are two places that we can end up. If I do not believe in Jesus I will perish. Not cease to exist
but not be where God is. I would be in Hell. Hell will be a place where all the goodness of God will not
exist. It will be pure evil, pure torment (and not with men dressed up in red suits carrying pitch forks).
What's the alternative.
Heaven is God's house that He has prepared for me, if I only believe. I want to be with my God. By believing in
Jesus, I will live for ever in a really neat place with God. Sound too easy? Well this is what I have found in
the Bible.
This is what I believe. You can choose to believe what you want. God grants you that freedom. He does not
force anyone to believe in Him.
Have any questions, ask me.
Go Home.
