For certain , everyone will know for sure Jesus Christ and God our Father are real at the moment they take their last breath. This is why you begin knowing HIM now, by Faith. You will be amazed as you begin to truly draw close to HIM

Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for all Mankind all you have to do is believe that it is True
JOHN 1:10-13 (Born again)
10.He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him
11. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
13. children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
You are Born again when you believe upon Jesus Christ , becoming a child of God. That means you believe / know Jesus paid the price for your sins and you are saved. Done
It is all about you and Jesus having a personal relationship
Moving forward honoring God your Father by the way you now live
God’s Word the Holy Bible for Salvation through Jesus Christ by Faith
2 Peter 1:16-21
- We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
- For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.
- We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
- And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
- Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation.
- For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
ACTS 4:8-13
- Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!
- If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed,
- then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
- He is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.
- Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
- When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus
Luke 16: 19 -31
19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
- You have just read some of the Words of God, as to Salvation, that God himself has provided for you on a personal basis through HIS Son Jesus Christ.
About now you maybe saying / thinking Here you Christians go again How can a Loving God threaten by saying IF YOU DO NOT DO as I tell you I will toss you into HELL. God gives you a choice. If you reject God then you have put yourself away from God and that place is called Hell. Thus, it is you , putting yourself in Hell not God. God Desires no one to perish.

One thing is certain, you will die one day. Yes,once again, I know , pretty dramatic , is it true ?
What do you think ?
Will you consider this : Jesus sacrificed himself as the true Lamb of God for the forgiveness of all of our Sins ( mistakes ) past , present and future and by doing so conquered death. Rising from death on the 3rd day by the power of His, now our Father , God almighty. The one and only true God. Creator of life its self .
Jesus didn’t have to do this HE did it for you, HE loves you,cares about you & takes joy in HIS children coming home. Did you know when you believe in Jesus Christ you become a Child of God?
In America we placed IN GOD WE TRUST on our money starting in the 1800’s then in the 1950’s Congress made Americas Motto IN GOD WE TRUST In America when we state our pledge of elegance to our Flag we say America is ONE NATION UNDER GOD. America, as a Nation proclaims GOD exist HE is real and whom HE says HE is. America as a Nation also submits to GODS WILL as stating America is One Nation UNDER GOD , The GOD of the BIBLE the old and new testaments. Submitting to GODS Will Americas foundation is formed which is obeying GODS commandments as our Foundation and such is Americas basis to define Normal behaviour in America. In a short 200 + years America has become the most powerful Nation on Earth. From America came Electricity, the light bulb, Automobiles, Air Plains, Radio , television and much more , think about how the earth would be without these. GOD granted America with the knowledge that has filled the earth with such blessings. Think about that.
John 1:9-13 English Standard Version (ESV)
9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,[a] and his own people[b] did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Know / Remember that our Spirit, whom we are, lives forever.
How do we know?
By Faith, believing Gods word, the Bible.
People whom believe we came from Apes and say how many years ago ( age ) a fossil is, are doing so by faith.
They believe they are correct by faith in what they have read in school and from others. Yet they cannot truly prove it. They were not there. Many believe when you die, that’s it. No more.
The question is, what do you believe?
Dead when you die, literally that’s it, no more
or
Welcomed into the House of God (Heaven) through Jesus Christ or out, away from God, having nothing to do with Him, because that is what you chose ?
There is no guessing when you die, you will know
Just remember , go outside if needed and look up , we are on a planet within a vast universe circling around the sun ( one of trillions ) at an exact axes angel degree that provides our atmosphere. Is it that tough to know God is Real ?
Let me say it this way, if you believe there is no God , then how did all the universe come to be? The Big Bang .. OK how did that happen / how did it start ( if it indeed truly took place ) The Universe had a beginning a start and …. you need to Choose.
As the true “test” will be when you die. You will know for certain.
If you rejected God here on earth, a planet with abundant life as no other planet and when you die what do you expect to take place? It’s simply over, done, no more or God is whom HE says HE is, I Am
Think about your journey in life right now , are you experiencing a true relationship (now) with Jesus Christ and through HIM, God our Father, It is an amazing journey, drawing closer to Jesus.
Or you, of course, can choose to Reject Him.
Do you truly want to do that ?
- Start by turning off the TV and open the Bible , this is where you will gain knowledge, insight and wisdom as you begin your relationship with Him. Click here for a free Online Text Bible and select a language

Take a look around you ( look up to the sky in the evening ) we are standing on a planet that’s spinning and circling around the Sun. There is so much more than just our houses , cities, cars etc. More than just Earth , take a look, real Pictures from the Hubble telescope , pretty amazing , you agree ?
God our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord gives us the freedom of choice.
To Choose.
God is not rejecting you, He loves you. HE Created you, I know, pretty amazing to fully accept and know this is true.
Let’s Hear Gods own words;
ROMANS 10:9-14
- That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
- For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
- As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
- For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile–the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
- for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
- How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
How do I do this ?
Pray / reach out to Jesus
Jesus I reach out to you , believing that you are The Son of God the true Lord and Savior, that you did come to earth in the flesh and God your Father, raised you from the dead after you were crucified for my sins. Jesus I do not fully understand all this right now. I believe you, from my heart, by faith , I now place my trust in you, that you will draw close to me as I draw close to you and I confess my sins knowing now that the blood you shed on the cross for me has cleansed me of all my sins and I ask you to come into my life and be the Lord of my life. Changing me to be the person you desire me to be. I surrender my life to you , I will begin living my life the way you desire me too, according to your word within your Holy Bible, Thank you for loving me!
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for my sins, because of this, I am now forgiven in your Eyes when you look upon me, a sinner. Thank you for your almighty love and Holy Spirit. I thank you for your Word , in the name of your only begotten Son, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If you meant what you just said and believe it , truly, in your heart. You’re spirit has now just been saved , born into a new life with Christ , by God’s Holy Spirit.
You were 1st Born in the flesh from your Mother’s womb.
John 1: 12-13
12.Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13.children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Jesus knows you don’t fully understand all this right now, it will take time as you grow in faith, reading His word to you, the Bible, drawing closer and closer to Him in your new life’s journey.
Quoting Charles F. Stanley In Touch.org “As a believer in Christ, you are forgiven, accepted, and loved. This is the truth about your relationship with Him, and it will set you free. Liberty is a daily choice to believe the truth as revealed in God’s Word and respond accordingly. As you boldly claim your identity in Christ and walk in His ways, you’ll discover the joy of true freedom. ”
How about asking the person whom Loves you and cares enough to send you this message, if you can attend Church with them or how you can find a Bible based church close to you if they do not live in your area. You know they will be glad to answer any questions you may have and if they don’t know surly they will help you find them, together
When you locate a Church be sure to ask to be Baptized; In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
