For you
C. S. Lewis talking about Jesus said,
“He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.” C.S. Lewis
The apostle Paul states,
“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.
Christians believe that mankind was falling far short of what God’s ideal for their lives. God knew that mankind could not live a perfect life. That’s why he instituted the various sacrifices in the temple that we see referenced in the Old Testament.
Still they only covered sins.
Christians believe that God once and for all changed all that by entering the world he created in the form of His On and Only Son Jesus.
Christians believe that God cared for not just mankind as a whole but for each individual. Thus God offers each individual a choice.
Jesus speaking about himself gave everyone a choice saying,
“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.
The apostle Paul writing,
“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.” Romans 10:9-13.
Thus the choice is yours dear reader. God will not force himself upon you. You have a free will.
What I would ask however is read the New Testament for yourself. Read what the for yourself what the writers said and believed. Then make your decision.
Please think about it.
