JESUS THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE  PART 3

          WHY ARE YOU HERE ON PLANET EARTH ? YOU ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO. (EPH.2:10) THROUGH HIM (JESUS) ALL THINGS WERE MADE;WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS MADE THAT HAS BEEN MADE.(JOHN 1:3)                                                      
          WETHER YOU BELIEVE THIS OR NOT DOES NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH. WHAT YOU BELIEVE WILL DETERMINE YOUR STATE HERE ON EARTH AND YOUR ETERNAL LOCATION. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH AND CALL ON JESUS BY NAME YOU SHALL BE SAVED.(ACTS 4:12)
          WELL WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN JESUS THE ONLY BEGOTEN SON OF GOD,YOU RECEIVE A SPIRITUAL SEAL FROM GOD.(EPHESIANS 1:13 &14)
          WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BELIEVE IN JESUS ? WELL ROMANS 3:23 STATES  FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD ,AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS.(25) GOD PRESENTED HIM AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD. GOD GOES ON TO TELL US IN HIS WORD WHY HE DID THIS. HE DID THIS TO DEMONSTRATE HIS JUSTICE, BECAUSE IN HIS FORBEARANCE HE HAD LEFT THE SINS COMMITTED BEFOREHAND UNPUNISHED.HE DID IT TO DEMONSTRATE HIS JUSTICE AT THE PRESENT TIME,SO AS TO BE JUST AND THE ONE WHO JUSTIFIES THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS.
          IN ROMANS 6:23 FOR THE WAGES (PAYMENT) OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD IS MEANING BY DEATH IN THIS VERSE WE NEED TO GO TO THE BOOK OF  REVELATION 20:11 – 15. THIS AREA OF SCRIPTURE WARNS US THAT WE WILL ALL FACE GOD AND  BE JUDGED BY  WHAT WE HAVE DONE WHILE LIVING ON EARTH. WE ARE FURTHER TOLD THAT IF OUR NAME IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WE WILL BE THROWN INTO A LAKE OF FIRE THAT BURNS FOR ALL ETERNITY. THIS IS THE DEATH THAT GOD IS WARNING US ABOUT.
          NOW IF YOU HAVE READ THIS AND SAY “ YEA RIGHT WHAT A BUNCH OF FOOLISHNESS TO BELIEVE THIS. IF THATS YOU THEN YOU ARE HEADING TO THE LAKE OF FIRE. HOW DO I KNOW ? THAT IS VERY SIMPLE TO ANSWER. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 ' FOR THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS FOOLISHNESS TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING, BUT TO US WHO ARE BEING SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.
          WHAT YOU BELIEVE DOES NOT ALTER TRUTH. IF YOU BELIEVE TRUTH YOU ARE RIGHT.IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE TRUTH YOU ARE WRONG. MANY  EXAMPLES OF THIS ARE PASSED ON FROM HISTORY. THE COMMON BELIEF THAT WAS TAUGHT ABOUT THE EARTH IS THAT IT WAS FLAT. THEY BELIEVED YOU WOULD FALL OFF THE EARTH IF YOU SAILED OUT TO FAR. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS SAID NO IT IS ROUND . THE  TRUTH WAS NOT ALTERED BY WHAT MAN THOUGHT.
          RELIGION IS MANS EFFORT TO PREPARE FOR ETERNITY. CHRISTIANITY IS GOD'S EFFORT TO REACH OUT AND SAVE MAN FROM HIMSELF. MAN HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO IT HIS WAY RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN BUT IN THE END IT LEADS TO DEATH .(PROVERBS 14:12)
          IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR AND SAY “ WELL I DO NOT CALL ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.” 2 CORINTHIANS 4:3&4 WILL TELL YOU WHY YOU ARE LIKE THAT.(3) AND EVEN IF OUR GOSPEL IS VEILED, IT IS VEILED TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING.(4)THE GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED THE MINDS OF UNBELIEVERS, SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD.
