I am, unashamedly, a Christian. I attend a Southern Baptist Church, but that is not what defines me as a Christian. What makes me a Christian isn't being born into a Christian family. It isn't what I do, how I act, where I was born, or where I live. Being a good person, helping others, giving, caring, loving, believing there is a God, doesn't make me a Christian and won't get me into heaven when I die. Even the demons believe in God. The only thing that defines me as a Christian and will assure that I will go to heaven when I die, is believing that Jesus died for me on the cross so that my debt could be forgiven. He took my place. My sentence was the death penalty, but He stepped in and took it for me. He died in my place because He loves me that much. Accepting that precious gift given to me by the One who hung every star in place, God himself, is all I have to do to assure my place in Heaven. I've seen a lot of people try to prove that this is all false. Their scientific minds, needing proof of everything they see, cannot seem to grasp that there could be an intelligent being who created our universe, much less one who cares about each of us as individuals. The only thing I know to say to someone who believes that there is no God is, "For your sake, I hope you're right." The problem is, you won't know until you're dead...and that will be too late. I choose to believe, and if I'm wrong I loose nothing, but if I'm right, I gain EVERYTHING. You are not promised tomorrow. You are not even promised your next breath. Please don't turn down this precious gift. You may not get another chance.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Don't know how to accept this gift from God? Just pray -
"Dear God I know I'm a sinner, I know I am not where I want to be, and I want your forgiveness! I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for my sins.
Please wash me clean from all sin, shame, and guilt, come into my life Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I ask this in your name Jesus. Amen!"
