God's Plan
God has a plan for us as we live in between the beginning and the end. The central theme of the Bible is that God loves us. Yet, we are separated from Him by sin. How could He make it possible for us to be reunited with Him, and live with Him in Heaven for eternity? His plan is ingenious! Knowing that we do not have the capacity within our sin-diseased selves to save ourselves, He had to do it for us.
God Became a Man
God came to Earth as a human being, and His name was Jesus. He lived a perfect sinless life, and then He gave up His life as a sacrifice for our benefit (II Corinthians 5:15). And to prove His power and authority over death, He rose from the grave. Over 500 people were eye witnesses to the fact that He had come back to life (I Corinthians 15:3-7). He did it for us. Jesus said, "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly (fully)" (John 10:10).
What Does This All Mean to You?
It means you can have a life worth living, and eternal life with God beyond that.
"God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life" (I John 5:11-12).
Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6).
Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY to God! He is God's gift to a sin-sick world. He is God's WAY for a world that has lost its way. He is eternal TRUTH in a world of lies and deceit. He is the LIFE we long for--meaningful life. He is the One who writes the names in His Book of Life. The names are the names of those who have trusted Him as their only hope, their only way to God.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).
The Book of Life contains the names of God's children. They are the people who have received God's free gift of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Do You Want a Meaningful Life?
God has made the way for you. Now it's up to you. It's your decision. Do you want a complete life: a life of love, trust, and obedience with God? Or do you want a life independent from God? Every person, in every generation, has this decision to make. If you're wrong, the price is the eternal loss of your soul--your very life!
If you decide to seek God, you will not be disappointed (Romans 10:11). If you seek Him, He will grant you a life worth living, and give you peace. You can end the turmoil. You can have peace with God. This link will take you to a site that shows you how to have peace with God, step-by-step.
