Something I want you to Know

Something I want you to know

As a Christian there are several things I want the world to know. The following are those things.
Abba Hillel Silver 
“Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society.  Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”
                                                                                                                                Abba Hillel Silver.
God is a God of love that is true. What is also true is that someone who truly loves you will be there for you and will tell you the consequences of your actions.
Jesus 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
The God gave you a free will to do as you wish. That includes not to believe in Him or obey what He says.
A wise man however said,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole  duty  of man. 
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” 
  Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
God offers salvation and eternal life with Him freely the apostle Paul saying,
“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
“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
Faith being defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” 
                                                                                                                          Hebrews 11:1.

Something Christians want you to know
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“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
The God who created the heavens and the earth is not a God of just one group of people. He is God of all humanity. And He wants all people everywhere to have a personal relationship with Him.
I as a Christian believe that God gave man a choice, to follow God or to reject God. He made that abundantly clear when He sent Jesus to this earth.
Jesus said,
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
       John 14:6.
You the reader and everyone else on this earth have the choice of believing that statement or not.
The Apostle Paul make it clear however what happens if you do believe what Jesus said
when he wrote,
“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”
