I Am Interested.
I've
always felt there was something out there, that I was missing something
in my life,
but I don't know what that is.
Why do I feel like I could live forever?
Why do we sometimes feel
like our lives could or should go on forever? You hear many people say
they don't feel any different inside than they did when they were 10,
20 or 30 years old. I believe it is because we are eternal beings,
living our lives in very fragile, faulty bodies that age literally to
death at a much faster rate than any of us truly realize.
Life
is definitely a journey, albeit at the speed of a short roller-coaster
ride with an ubrupt end in this world, waking up in another one just as
real, if not more, than the one we are in right now.
What Are Your Destination Plans?
You
will go on, past this life and into the next one in what will seem in
hindsight like the blink of an eye. This raises the questions: "What
will happen to me after I die?" "What is beyond this life, my time of
existence on this earth?" "Is there a heaven and a hell, and if so,
how can I know what my destination will be when I pass from this life?"
I
believe that a person has a chance to know just that. The following is
written for just for you, the person that found that card and came to
this site, so you can see this reality.
A Brief History and Simple Solution
The Problem
God
made man and woman, but not as machines, plants or mere animals. He
made them like Him, giving us an eternal soul. He also gave them a
free will, to decide on their own to choose right or wrong. The only
problem was that they chose to do wrong, and doomed themselves and
their descendants (us) to be separated from God, both now and for
eternity after we died.
The Solution
The
good news is that God already knew this, and made a provision for us.
He knew when he created us with our own special will and freedom of
choice, that we would choose to separate ourselves from God. But being
the one who created us, He loved us in spite of ourselves. He knew
that the cause and effect of our choosing wrong, or sin, had to be paid
for somehow and did not want us to pay by being separated from Him
forever.
The Price
The
only way to do this would be to come down to earth Himself, live the
only perfect life ever lived, and die a cruel punishment death to pay
for our sins, our choice to do wrong, so we could accept that payment
and no longer be separated from God, both now and after we die on this
earth. Of course I am talking about Jesus Christ.
"He was in the world, the world was made by him, and the world did not
know Him...But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God, even to those who believe in His name who were
born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man,
but of God. " - The Bible, John 1:10,12-13
What Does That Mean for Me?
This
means that now you have a way to know just how to get to heaven when
you die. It's not by being good, or hoping that your good deeds will
outweigh your bad deeds. It doesn't work that way. This fault in
ourselves, this sin, this thing that makes you age and die, will make
you age and die and
be separated from God no matter what the concentration. I doesn't
matter if it's 1 thing or 10,000 things, it still contaminates us and
separates us from God. This is why we needed a perfect payment, a
substitute to pay the price for us, and God knew and was willing to pay
that price for us. He loves you and does not want you to be separated
from Him. If you come to God and tell Him you realize these things,
and accept His payment for your sins, He will accept you, and God's
very Spirit will be in you, and you will have a relationship with God
that you never dreamed existed, and one that will last forever. This
may very well be the most important moment of choice in your life.
This is what being "Born Again" actually means.
If this has helped guide you to that decision, please let me know.
I'd
love to hear from you, and pray that God will help you move forward in
your new life. Please email me at decision@unseenreality.com
