WELL . . . DO YOU?
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? "

Sounds too good to be true, but it IS TRUE. It's been available to us our entire life, In God's Word! By God's grace and unconditional love, He sent His Son Jesus Christ among us to die on the cross to pay in full the price of our redemption.
Sound confusing? It's all explained in His #1 best seller, The Holy Bible.
So why then do people (like myself) often seem to waste so much of our life before actually picking up a Bible and reading about the gospel of Jesus Christ for ourselves?
Maybe we don't believe, because in our mind, those Bible stories never really made much sense. But the truth is that there has never been a woman or man on this earth, (except Jesus), who really knew exactly how creation occurred. Some scientists have come up with their theories on evolution and the big bang theory. But just know, that's all they really are, theories. It is impossible for our human minds to fathom the creative knowledge of God. Our human pride says, If we can't explain it, it isn't true. WRONG!
Maybe we didn't think we needed any of that religious mumbo-jumbo or a God to control our lives. WRONG! In my case, I thought just being a good person was enough. I was educated, had good morals, as well as plans for my life. I would go to school, have a career, and live a comfortable joy-filled life with my family. Surely the God that created me wouldn't let a good person like myself go to hell, Right? WRONG! In fact, by abusing the free will that God gives each of us, and making choices to do things our own way, sometimes we don't even have to die to go through a self created hell-on-earth in this life. The truth is, nothing in this world, apart from God, can bring true peace and joy. Not success, money, fame, or even the perfect partner. It comes from the inside and radiates outward. And the source is Jesus Christ.
I'm speaking from one family's experience. A few years ago, from the outside looking in, our life appeared to be pretty good. But on the inside, something was definitely missing. It was like there was an empty space that we kept trying to fill with everything wrong. Have you ever been lost, or off-course? Then you know that even though you may be able to convince those around you that you have things under control, inside you know the truth. And sooner or later you have to face the fact that you are not really sure where you're at, or where you're going to end up without some real help. I thank Jesus for that day when God answered my cry for help.
That's the thing! In God's plan, You have to ask for His help. God will not force himself into your life. You have to invite Him. It's kind if like when you, as a parent, want a hug from one of your children. You could make them do it, which is okay, but how much more real and meaningful it is when they do it by their own will. God, your creator, knows you and loves you. He desires to help you and be involved in your daily life. All He requires is for you to ask Him in faith.
What if today was the last day of your life? Which of your accomplishments would you be best known for? How has your life influenced others? How will people remember you? More importantly, where will you be, the moment after your last breath when your spirit departs? Are you sure? . . . You can be. God has plans for your life, and satan also has a plan. If God's plan isn't the one you're following, chances are, you're included in the other one. The Bible explains how to apply God's perfect plan of salvation to our lives. It is the only way to mess up what the enemy, satan, has planned for us. God loves us too much to leave us or forsake us.
God has made the way through His Son Jesus Christ, and then revealed it to us in His word the Holy Bible. God stands by His word. He will not go against it. God's word promises, "if you will confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you WILL be saved. (Romans 10;9). And If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) It's really that simple. God's will is that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
No matter what you've been through, or what you may be going through right now, you can start brand new. No matter who, or where you are. You don't have to wait until your life is cleaned up to get to know God.
If you pray this simple prayer from the heart, you Will be forgiven of your sins. You Will step into a personal spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ. You Will begin to walk in the blessings of God in this life, and confirm your reservation in Heaven in the life after this life.
" Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I am sorry for the sins I've committed in my life. I've done wrong in the sight of God and man and I confess to You right now that I know I was wrong. Please forgive me Lord. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He was crucified, buried and resurrected, paying the price in full for my redemption from sin, sickness, poverty, and spiritual death. I want to change for the better, and I know I cannot do that without Your help. Lord Jesus, come into my life, into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. Thank You Lord for empowering me with Your Holy Spirit to help, teach, and guide me in this new life. I thank You Lord Jesus, that I am a new creation in you, old things have passed away, and ALL things have become new. Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, and Your love. Amen."
"God's word truly does have the power to transform. While reading John's account of the gospel of Jesus Christ, God opened my eyes as well as my heart."
It is very important that you don't take my word, or anyone else's word for it.
You can read the truth from God's word for yourself today.
