You and Eternity
The American Evangelist Tony Campolo said,
“The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.”

Jesus made things very clear. Speaking of himself he said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”.
John 3:16-18.
In Jesus God reaches down to man. He says I love you so much I entered my creation in the form of my one and only Son Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul explains
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,”
Colossians 2:9
Writing to the Romans the apostle Paul says,
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.”
Romans 5:6.
We, every man and woman that has ever lived are those ungodly people. We fall short of God’s ideal for our lives daily. We are far from perfect.
As the apostle Paul puts it,
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 3:23.
Sinning is falling short of God’s ideal. Sin separates us from God.
Paul however gives us hope. To the Ephesians he writes,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8,9.
It is our faith in Christ that saves us. No one is perfect enough to stand before God. We all sin and fall short of God’s ideal for our lives. That is why we must accept the saving grace of Jesus.
The apostle John writes,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.”
1 John 1:9-10.
By accepting by faith that Jesus is the one and only Son of God. By accepting that he died for your sins. Then confessing those sins to God directly you will receive eternal life with God.
The Apostle John telling us,
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
John 1:12,13.
Please think about it.
