Everybody dies. But not everybody needs to fear death.

Read the New Testament. Read about Jesus Christ. Learn how He stepped
out of Heaven, put on a body, came here as a man, to set us free from
that which we could not set ourselves free from: sin.

Learn how He wants to forgive you, give you eternal life, and have you
be part of His Kingdom. He makes all things new.

It occurred to me tonight that all people will either:

(1) Stand before Jesus, being judged for your sin, or
(2) Stand before Jesus-being-judged-for-your-sin.

The choice is yours, but knowing that you are a sinner and that you do
have sin, and that God's standard for entrance into Heaven is total and
complete perfection, it will be better for you to ask Jesus to forgive
your sin and give you eternal life.

"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

If you don't have faith, it's because you are reading the Bible with an
honest, truthful, real-answer seeking heart.

Correction:

If you don't have faith, it's because you ARE NOT reading the Bible
with an honest, truthful, real-answer seeking heart.

God reveals Himself to all who seek the truth. We cannot know Him
otherwise. If you seek the truth and press in and pursue it, God
knows you are doing this and He will come to meet you where you are
and lead you to His Son so you can be forgiven and have eternal life.

Remember that with Jesus, it is love that's out front.

Even though you've sinned, even though you are guilty before Him ... He
still loves you. He wants to forgive you. He doesn't want to judge you.
He wants you to be a part of His Kingdom because of who you are.

Sin is the enemy.
Jesus takes sin away.

You need Jesus to take your sin away. Ask Him and He will forgive you today.
