Just stop and...think...
Has the question ever came up in your mind,"What is my purpose here? Am I just suppost to live a life of job after job,and have friends? What if there was more? More than this world...more than this this life that I am living."

These questions come up in most of people's thoughts. Most of the time we just ponder on the subject and then return to our daily lives.We don't really give it any thought.Lets start with this.Take a look around you...What do you see? I see the grass,trees,houses,cars,etc. Where did this come from? This world was made by God. In Genesis 1:1 it says, " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The earth you see around you was created by God. The people around you were also created around you. In Genesis 1:7 it says,"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." But was may this have to do with life beyond this earth? It has everything to do with it!
God had created this man perfectly. He had no pain,no problems,and there was no death. But then something bad happened.God's creation,man,sinned-disobeyed the laws- and God put a horrible curse on all of man. This curse was death.Everybody after Adam,the first man,was not perfect and had a sinful soul.Therefore,we would all die.There is good news though! God wanted man to be with him,but he knew this would never happen with us being so sinful and bad. We didn't deserve his glories or his riches.We completely fall short of the glory of God. So, God sent his son,Jesus,to the earth to die for our sins. We deserve nothing but death,but with God's mercy he saved us from eternal brutal punishment. In Romans 5:8 it says,"But God demonstrated his love towards us,in that,while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us." By doing this,God offered us a chance to spend eternity with him in heaven. If we believe on his name we will be saved.Saved from sin,saved from hell,and saved from eternal punishment. God did not forever die though. He was crucified and tortured horribly. He died that night,and three days later he raised from the dead. He now raines in heaven with God,and all who have believed him. There is more than this earth! We have a chance to live forever with God,where there is no pain,no problems,and only joy and true happiness. In John 3: 15-16 it says," That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish,but have everlasting life.For God so loved the world,that he gave his only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life." In verse 17 it goes on to say," For God sent his Son to condemn the world;but that the world through him might be saved." Nobody can convince you to make the decision to believe him. It is the decision of the individual. If you believe him,and want God to be in your life today,make the decision now to follow him. To make this choice, you must understand that you are a sinner. You are ment for hell,and only by the sovereinty of God that you have the opption to go to heaven. You have to believe that Jesus died on the cross for YOU. He wants YOU to be with him in heaven forever. He loves you very much! That's why he did what he did. If you believe him,and understand why he did what he did for YOU, pray right now and ask Jesus into your heart.

I have done this,and I have never been so happy! Your life makes sooo much more sense. You have to remember,that no matter what God is there for you.He is everywhere and you can go to him for confort in any time on the day or where ever you go. He loves you so much!

Romans 9:1,"I say the truth in Christ,I lie not,my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit."

If there are any questions look in the great book...the Bible.Or ask me some questions...I would be more than glad to answer them!
