Ponder this
For the Christian it's all about faith in God.
God does not force himself on us. He gave us a free will to do and believe as we wish.
Thus I put these portions of the New Testament for you to ponder. My question being do you agree with them or not
The apostle Paul writes
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
The apostle Paul tells us we cannot work our way to heaven. Stating,
“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.”
Faith defined by the writer of Hebrews as,
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
The same writer noting
“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”
Blaise Pascal noting,
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal
Thus the question becomes. Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate, the Saviour of mankind?
Where will you place your wager?
Please think about it.
