A quick note

A quick note,

Here is what I believe is the most important message the world needs.
1/
 Jesus said
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” 
                                                                                         John10:10
2
Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
 but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, 
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
 because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. 
                                                                                            John 3:16-18

The Apostle Paul wrote,
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  
not by works, so that no one can boast. 
                                                                     Ephesians 2:8,9

The Writer of Hebrews wrote,
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 
and certain of what we do not see. 
                                                                                 Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
 and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.’
                                                                                               Hebrews 11:6
                                5                                       
Jesus said to Martha
“Jesus said to her, 
“I am the resurrection and the life. 
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;  
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. 
Do you believe this?”
“Yes Lord” she told Him, 
“I believe you are the Christ the Son of God, who was to come into the world,” 
                                                                                                                 John 11:25,26
The above are quotations from the bible that I believe everyone needs to consider irrespective of who they are.
Christianity to my knowledge is the only faith in the world that claims God the creator of the universe came into the world to show mankind the way to heaven.
I know to some this concept is hard to believe but it is at least something each individual needs to think about.
C. S. Lewis said,
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” 
                                                                                C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
The decision is yours.
Please think about it.
