I Can See

I Can See
"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God." Abraham Lincoln.
I believe Abraham Lincoln. Take a look at the picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is
spectacularly beautiful. It also spectacular in it’s make up. Every atom, every sub atomic particle is in perfect harmony to create what we see.
So it is on earth everything in nature is in perfect balance. Everything works perfectly to produce life as we know it on this earth.
The psalmist states,
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 
Psalm 19:1
I cannot believe that things just developed. I believe there is a creator behind it all. A creator God who wishes to have a personal relationship with the people he created.
The question is do you want to have a personal relationship with God?
Jesus speaking to Martha said,
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;  and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes Lord” she told Him, “I believe you are the Christ the Son of God, who was to come into the world,” John 11:25,26,27.
The Apostle John speaking of Jesus wrote,
“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
John’s Gospel records,
“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.  John 3:16,17.
The apostle Paul writing to the Romans said,
“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.” Romans 10:9.
The key to getting to heaven is to believe in God. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. The writer of Hebrews states,
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:3.
If you truly believe in Christ. You must believe that Jesus is God incarnate, who died for your sins. Not only that you cannot simply give such a belief intellectual consent. It must be a heart felt consent. An act of faith. The writer of Hebrews stating,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
 and certain of what we do not see.”  
Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 
and that he rewards those 
who earnestly seek him.” 
Hebrews 11:6
As a Christian I believe the decision you make about Jesus in this world will determine where you will spend eternity. If I am wrong you have nothing to fear. If I am right however you have a great deal to loose.
Please think about it.
