Did you know that sin doesn't keep you out of heaven? Nope. Jesus has already dealt with the sin "issue" on the Cross. The only thing that can keep you out of heaven is rejecting Jesus. The bible says that He who believes in the Son, (Jesus) has life. He who does not believe in Jesus is condemned already. (John 3:16-18)
Tough stuff eh? Jesus said, "Tell John that the blind see, the cripple walk, the lepers are cleansed and the poor have the gospel preached to them." (Luke 7:22) This was how He proved that He was the Savior of the world. Even today our message is to be with "power" and not just words (1Cor.4:20) That's how you can know that He really is the Savior. No other person, of another faith, healed the sick, or raised the dead or cast out demons. So either Jesus was a big liar or He was telling the truth. Since God backed Him up with all the miracles He did and God backs Christians (with faith) up as we pray for people in His name, you can rest assured that Jesus is who He said He was. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
God delights in giving his children good gifts.(James 1:17) What does a good gift look like to you? Our ideas are so small. Eternal life is a great gift. How about peace? That's a great gift. How about comfort, companionship and wisdom? Those are all great gifts. How about witty inventions and ideas? Those are all found in God too. He's the Creator, after all. The Bible says that God, "wishes above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." (3John 2)
Do you realize that God loves you? He loves you so much that he sent His son to the earth to die a horrible death so you wouldn't have to pay the penalty for your sins. Dare to believe the Father's love. Dare to ask Him to reveal Himself to you. You can say something like,"God I need to know if you are real. Please show me. Amen, which means,"So be it." Then start reading your bible and asking questions.(leave me a comment)
