Life...

I believe in God. When I say I am a Christian, I don't take it lightly. Here's what I believe in a nutshell:

I believe that nothing was created by chance- God created everything! Humans were made perfect, in the image of God even, but then sin entered the world and the human race lost its relationship with their Creator; God. God saw the sin in the world and it hurt Him because He loves His creation. So, because of this love, He sent His Son, Jesus, who was completely perfect, into the world to show us how life could be. But becuase of the hatred and sinful desires of us humans, we rejected Him. We love our evil deeds! So we killed Jesus. He died a martyrs death on an old wooden cross with a crown of thorns on his head. But then three days later, God proved His ultimate love for us by raising His Son from the dead, which provided a way for us to be redeemed and inherit eternal life. Jesus Christ is alive today and sitting on the right hand of God in heaven right now. And He wants to have a relationship with each and everyone of us! Awesome.

Now, I know that this may seem like a foolish thing to believe in if you haven't experienced God, but I know its true.

Tell me, what is the probability of everything (the earths distance from the sun, the amount of oxygen and nitrogen in the air we breathe, the thickness of the ozone layer, the seasons, plants, animals, ect) coming together and working for an enviorment so perfect for us to live in and it all be by accident? yeah, like impossible. Yet scientists still argue that we are a cosmic accident. WHATEVER! There has to be something... someone... behind the scenes, pulling it all together!

And what happens to you after you die? Do you really believe that the God who took time to prepare this perfect place for us to live in will leave us to rot in the ground? Surely not! God sent Jesus to die for us and prepare a way for us to live with Him for all eternity. If we want to. We have the freedom to choose. Eternal life with God? Or eternal death (which is eternal seperation from God)? The choice was mine and I chose life. Now the choice is yours... what's your answer?

If you want a realtionship with God, just tell Him. He's listening and waiting.
