The apostle Paul said,
“In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.  
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:30,31.
Here is a simple to the point statement the apostle Paul made to non-believing philosophers and other learned people in Athens. It is a statement that you either believe or you do not.
God will one day judge the world. The question is how will He judge you. Jesus speaking of himself 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.
Are you among those who believe in Christ Jesus or are you willing to take your chance that what the New Testament says about Jesus are not true?
Please think about it.

The apostle Paul writes,
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.”1 Timothy 2:5,6.
Paul also wrote,
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.  
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8.
In Matthews gospel we read of Jesus saying,
“Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.
The apostle Paul telling us,
"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.
These statements are the basis of Christianity. If these statements are untrue then no one has anything to fear when they stand before God. If on the other hand they are true it becomes a much different matter.
C. S. Lewis said,
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." C. S. Lewis.
Thus my question is to you is; do you believe what is said above.
Please think about it.

The apostle John writes,
“Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.  
Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.” 2 John 1:7,8.
Watching out for “deceivers” is a constant theme of the New Testament writers. The reason is simple we as believers in Christ must preach the pure word of God at all times. The result for not doing so has the potential for eternal consequences.
Upon the believer in Christ Jesus shines a great light. If we truly believe what Jesus said about himself in John 3:16-18,
“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.
Then we have an obligation to tell this to the world.
The message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is black and white. Either you believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God, the Saviour of mankind, God incarnate, or you do not. There is no middle ground.
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
