JOHN 18:38
“Life isn’t fair.”
You’re right. Sometimes it can come in like a flood or just a slow drip of pain and disappointments until it just doesn’t seem worth living.
Try Jesus.
“I don’t believe in God.”
Really? Take a good look around you right now. Did all this come from nothing? When you look at a building, you KNOW someone designed it. Look at your own body, your mind, your innate knowledge of good and evil. Look at the trees, flowers, birds, the gorgeous skies in the evening…
Evolution is one of Satan’s greatest lies. Since the very beginning he’s been questioning God’s word and authority. Did God really create everything? Yes. Don’t listen to Satan’s lies. Try Jesus.
“If there’s a God, wouldn’t he reveal himself to us?”
Yes. He might even try to live with us here on earth. He might try and send people to warn us. He might create an amazing world that we might wonder about him and seek him out. He might leave us his Word to remind and point us to truth. He might even send his Son to save us from our sins.
“If there’s a God, why is there so much evil?”
Let me ask you this… If there was NO God, why would it matter? Survival of the fittest, right? We can only recognize evil because God has written his laws on our hearts. And we see evil around us because God has given us all free will. There is an enemy of God at work in this world doing his best to lead astray as many as possible. Try Jesus.
“If there is a God, I am mad at him.”
Let me tell you something. God has nothing but love for you. He loves you so incredibly much that he sent his Son to die for YOUR sins. Satan wants to destroy you. Could your anger be misplaced?
If you're searching desperately for comfort, go to Jesus.
If you need love or security, or peace in your heart, go to Jesus.
If your soul is dry and thirsty, he is the wellspring of living water. Go to Jesus.
If you need to forgive a person or even God himself, go to Jesus. He will give your heart the peace you seek.
“If there is a God, I will probably go to heaven because I am not as bad as some others.”
No. You will not. None of us are good. Not one. Romans 3:23 says ALL have sinned and fallen short. As a holy God, he requires perfection.
“Who then can be saved?”
Acts 4:11-12 says that Jesus, the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” You and I broke God’s laws. Jesus paid the fine and only by putting our faith in Jesus Christ and making him Lord of our life will we be saved. And the Holy Spirit will be given as a deposit of that faith.
“I will go to Jesus when I get my life together.”
No. Come now. HE is the one that will get your life together. He is the one that will heal your wounds. He will give you a new heart that loves righteousness. No one gets to heaven without being “born again” and only Jesus can give you the new heart that you need. Try Jesus now. I beg you because if you're reading this, you are made in God's image and your ETERNITY is on the line. He's calling you today. Come and see.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." - Revelation 3:20
