“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV
Wisdom
Don’t go into the grave without Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God. He is the giver of life. Jesus is GOD. The Most High GOD. The only GOD. He became a human, died, and rose again. If we believe in Him we will be brought back into everlasting life. The ones who do not will be brought back into everlasting death.
To believe in Him means everything about Him. His story, His testimony, His Word, His Goodness, His Holiness, His Godliness, His grace, His mercy, His perfection, and His love for us all. Jesus loved us so much that He died for us all.
Christ took the punishment of sin for us all. He had His hands and feet nailed to a cross, and a crown of thorns pierced in his skull. Was beaten up, whipped, and had to carry that same cross to His death. He went through all of that torture and pain for us all. He was a perfect person and He took hell for us all, so we could have life.
We all have a choice to make. We all have to decide because everyone is going to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Do you believe in the Gospel? Do you believe in Him? I pray we all make the right choice and believe. I pray we all Repent of our sins, get baptized in His name, and no longer live our lives by what we believe in, but live by the words of Jesus and what He believes in, and His will for our lives. Amen.
