Do you know the answer to the first question ?
Where are you now, in the things that matter in life, “in the things that are for keeps” ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know the answer to the second question ?
Where are you going in life, and where are you going after life ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How ? and Where ? do you get answers ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most people try to come up with their own answers.
That may work for many of life’s day-to-day decisions, to be successful, to make it another day, year, decade.
But sooner or later, after a number of birthdays, or crises, or close calls, or funerals of friends and family—who can tell you what you really need to know ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over and over people have found that the answers are not found where they were looking.
Everyone is looking for God, and how to please Him.
In desperation, people make up ideas, religions, rituals, and behavior to get right with God.
For one thing, they can’t all be right.
So, one must be right—different than all the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there is one true God.
And, He told us, in writing, Who He is, and exactly where we are, and where we’re headed—and our condition is not pretty.
But, He told us, in writing and in action, how He fixed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“God loved the world so much, that He gave His only dear Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus in the Bible is the answer, the only way to God.
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to God the Father except through Me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can stop searching—you’ve found what you’re looking for.
Talk to Jesus, believe what the Bible says about Him , and believe what He says in the Bible (the two verses above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell Him, “God, be merciful to me a sinner”, and Jesus says you will go home justified before God today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where you at ? – – – I’m a forgiven sinner.
Where you headed ? – – – I’m going to heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
