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. 

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 1:10,11.

To many people in the world today think God is a big old man ready to thrash you with a stick if you don’t do as he wishes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Especially when it comes to Jesus.

Jesus speaking of Himself 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.” John 3:16,17.

God loves everyone. God wants everyone to enter into a personal relationship with Him.

That being said God has given everyone that has ever lived a freewill to choose whether or not to believe in Him. Which is an act of faith.

The writer of Hebrews telling us,

"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.

I think God asks us to have faith in Him because having faith in someone we cannot see is perhaps the hardest thing an individual can do.

The writer of Hebrews tells us,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

 and certain of what we do not see.”

                                                           Hebrews 11:1.

So. Do you believe in God a God that loves us so much He sent His one and Only Son to save us?

Please think about it.
