God is the source of all life. He created the universe and everything you can and cannot see. When He first created humans, they were perfect! No sickness! No arguments or wars! They had peace, were eating good, and had the absolute best weather! You may be asking, well if that is how the world was created… What happened? Because this right here, right now…is trash. I mean, you’re right... But let me explain how we went from a complete paradise to where we are today. 

Okay, but why did God create us?  To have a relationship with Him. Because He loves us, He created a good world for us. You see the first man and woman knew God face to face.  He gave them freedom, and they had one rule from God. That was to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because if they did they would die. Their choice was to trust God, listen to His word, and know Him, the source of all life; or trust in themselves, know evil, and die. They failed! They didn't trust God and chose death. This broke up humanity’s relationship with God. Not trusting in God is a sin. God tells us in the Bible that the cost for sin is death – forever separation from Him in hell. As the children of the first man and woman, we follow right behind them as sinners. Just like you have your mother’s eyes or your father’s smile, you also have the first man and woman's self-determination to do what you wanna do and sin continuously.  

Cool… you can continue to live that way. Many people don’t take God, sin, and hell seriously and act as if they don't exist. Despite this stubbornness, God is kind, patient, and loving. He makes a way for humanity to have a relationship with Him and to have our sins forgiven. There are not a million ways, though. There is only one way. 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6) 

The wages that sin pays are death, but God’s gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

You may have heard that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. However, maybe you didn’t understand what it meant. Jesus never sinned, not once. He is “Immanuel” or God with us.  He is the Son of God and perfect, unlike the rest of humanity.   Before Jesus came, God the Father told His people to make sacrifices to Him. This meant killing an innocent animal and using that blood to pay the cost for sin... temporarily. 

Jesus died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice and final payment for all sins. To show that He beat death on the cross, He rose on the third day. Trusting in the truth of Jesus’s death and resurrection on the third day for the forgiveness of your sins is the ONLY way to have a relationship with God. Please, turn to God from your sins. When you have a relationship with God, one day, you will go to a new paradise and experience life forever in heaven with Him. 

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever doesn’t believe in the Son won’t see life, but the angry judgment of God remains on them.” (John 3:36)

Yes! Everyone needs a relationship with God. This world is wild, full of sin, and is getting worse day by day. When you have a relationship with God, He helps you make it through the craziness of life now and gives you peace forever. Trust that by Jesus’s sacrifice, you can have a relationship with God and will have a true, free life forever.  

If you want this, please pray. Praying is talking to God. You can say to God that you have not trusted in Him and are a sinner. You know and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, that He paid the price and you are forgiven. Ask to have a relationship with God. Give Him your life. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)

and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)

I hope that you have given your life to Jesus and are now starting a relationship with God. 🥳  

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

When you start a relationship with God, it is a relationship with a real person.  You will grow closer and learn more about Him and yourself with time. You will learn how to love God and love others in the right way. How do you start?  Read or listen to the word of God, the Bible, to learn more about Him and your relationship with Him. Also, find a church near you to meet with other Christians. At church, tell them of your new faith and be baptized.  Continue to trust in God. It will not be easy, but it will be the best decision you have ever made.  

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37-39)
