Don't know Him, but want to know some more about Him? JESUS
Well, first of all let me apologize for those Christian who haven't already told you about Him or tried but did it in a very judgmental way. So Sorry!!
The TRUE FACT is Jesus wouldn't judge you, but he may have too one day. The purpose of Him dying on the cross was so that He wouldn't have to judge you.
Let me start from the beginning. Way in the beginning! At the very beginning! Most people here in America have heard the story of Adam and Eve, I take it you have too, most likely. Well, way back there when God created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it, He then created the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve. They were loved by God and God himself talked with them all the time. God gave them rulership over all the earth and everything in it. They were free!!
On the other hand God created two trees that had a huge impact on humanity. A tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God said to Adam one day that you can eat from any tree in the garden which these trees were in, but commanded him not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The reason why is because God loved Adam and was looking out for his soul. He told Adam the DAY that he eats from that tree he would die. God didn't want Adam to die.
Well everyone knows the story, Eve ate and Adam ate, and their eyes were opened and the saw they were naked and hid themselves from the Lord. We all remember that, this is what many people don't understand. Adam didn't die that day. It says that Adam lived another 900 something years and then passed away. Here is the question: "CAN GOD LIE". So many scriptures say that God can't lie. That is the truth, He can't lie. Everything he says is the truth. If today were Monday and he said it was Friday, every calendar in the entire world would change to Friday. It is impossible for God to lie, and scripture says the same.
The reason I say this is because Adam did die that day. Let me give you a little knowledge from the past. Before Sigmund Freud was alive and did his research, 99% of human beings believed man was a 3 part being, a spirit, a soul, and a body. Freud deceptively changed the knowledge of many to think that humans don't have a spirit, so that he could diagnose people with diseases instead of having demons posses their spirits. Scary stuff to think about something possessing your spirit, but I have seen some people who were and have prayed with people and seen them delivered from demons. Almost every religion still believes that man is a three part being and believes that the spirit is the innermost part of the human being. This is 100% true. God Himself is a spirit. The truth is the day Adam ate from that tree he died a spiritual death. His spirit died a death that would separate him from God for eternity.
Eternity!!! What do you mean by Eternity!! Well here is the deal. Every person who was born was given free will about everything in life except two things. 1st one is to exist. We didn't choose to be born God did. 2nd one is eternity. We will all exist for eternity. So how could Adam die if we all have no choice but to live for eternity? Well again, I said that he died a death that would separate him from God for eternity. We can't make a decision to exist for eternity but we can make a decision on where to exist for eternity. With God or without God? Some might say, "Who cares, God ain't every did anything good for me". Well if you don't choose to live with God then you have already chosen to exist in hell for the rest of eternity. Many people don't like to talk about hell but I feel like I would be lying to you if I didn't tell you. IT IS REAL, and many people are there already.
Well what does this have to do with me, I am good person? It has everything to do with you and everybody in this world that has have been born since Adam and Eve. Because of the disobedience that Adam did, all mankind has been born with same spiritual condition that Adam experienced. They are all spiritually dead. Their innermost being is dead and separated from God for eternity.
Now we are getting to the GOOD NEWS? Like I said before I am not here to judge and neither is Jesus, in fact that is the entire reason He died on the cross for you. He did it because He LOVES you. It is the greatest story every told and better than that it is the truest story every told. JESUS LOVES YOU! He knows your dead spiritual and that you will automatically go to hell, so he died and was judge in our place. Every sin that we have ever committed Jesus put on his own shoulders. The reason why is because sin is what causes us to die spiritually and it says we are all judged by our own sins. Not by Adams, sin was passed down to us be we all committed are fair share of them by ourselves.
The bible says that Jesus came to give life and life more abundantly. He didn't come to judge you and send you to hell, He came to resurrect life in you. His LIFE in you! Jesus died on the cross for you and everybody else. After 3 days he rose again from the dead with resurrection power, and if you believe in him and that He did this for you and then you call upon His name to save you, HE WILL!!! The same power that resurrected His life from the dead will give life to your spirit. It is so simple, you don't have to wait until your old or wait until you have cleaned up your own life, or wait till you think you are ready. There is no other time better than right now. You don't know what will happen tomorrow and there is no promise that there will even be a tomorrow. God loves you and hopes that you will make a decision to trust in Him today. The bad things you may have done don't matter to God right now. He want you to LIVE and he has given you free will in everything except to exist for eternity. Choose right now where you will spend eternity. Spend it with Jesus who painfully gave His life for you so that you can finally LIVE for real this time. A new life, a new start. Be bold and pray this pray and ask Jesus to save you.
Heavenly Father I know that I have sinned and am guilty for my own wrong. I know that my sins separate me from you. I want to know you. I want you to save me. Jesus I call on you to save me with the same power that resurrected you from the dead. Give me a knew life. Make me born-again. Fill my with your Holy Spirit and give me power to be a witness for you. Show me how to love you. Amen!!
If you prayed this prayer please let me know and I can tell you more about the true Christian life. Being a Christian really isn't that bad like people make it out to be. You can still have fun but the most important is that you are now FREE from sin and death. Start a relationship with Jesus!! Just pray, simply talk to him, read His Word, get involved with a bible based spirit-filled Church.
If someone forward this letter on facebook and you still want to talk to me, just search for Rich Cohrs. In the message part let me know you just accepted Jesus in your heart or that you want to know more about Jesus that way I can know to accept your friendship. Take care and love the knew life you have been given. Love Jesus!!
Your new brother in Chirst,
Richard Cohrs
