Please consider where you too will spend eternity (below is some help if you do not know) WHAT every person needs when life is over: 1st John 5:11-12: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 1st John 5:20: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. According to these Bible passages, every person must ‘get’ Jesus Christ before he or she passes away, because Jesus is eternal life. If a person has Jesus, the body may rest in the grave temporarily, but ultimately that person will live forever. If a person does not have Jesus when his or her physical existence is over, they will be separated from God for all eternity. WHY does everyone need Jesus? When every person is born, he or she is missing eternal life inside. This is because we inherited death and sin from our first father, Adam.... Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: In Genesis we see what God told Adam: Genesis 2:16-17: And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Then we see in Genesis 3 they did eat of the fruit, but to us it would appear they didn't die... However something did die. Let me explain. We are made up of three parts: body, soul & spirit. You see, Adam and Eve's body didn't die that day, but their spirit—their ‘God connector’ inside—did. This is proven by the fact that there is evil in the world and is why we sin. 1st John 3:4: “…sin is the transgression of the law” (breaking the Ten Commandments) Start with #10 and work backwards to see how well you do: 10. “Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's”....you’ve wanted something that belonged to someone else 9. “Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie) against thy neighbor”….you’ve lied 8. “Thou shalt not steal”…you have taken something that belonged to someone else (regardless of value) 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Also let me pause here and explain something: When you and I look at one another, we look at people’s actions or what they do. The problem is God looks at our heart. Think about it like this: you just have to think it to be guilty of it. 6. Thou shalt not kill God looks at the heart with this one too: 1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 5. Honor thy father and mother…ever rebelled against or disrespected your parents? 4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…have you always set aside time to worship and honor Creator God? 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord God in vain…using God’s name as a swear word 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…idolizing something, someone or even yourself 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me….The only true God that gives everyone even another moment of life is worthy of all our love, but we don’t as we aught Because of Adam’s sin, we all inherited spiritual and physical death, proven by the fact that we break God’s Law without a 2nd thought. There is a payment for sin: Romans 6:23a: “For the wages of sin is death…” What then is the end result of stepping into eternity without Jesus? Revelation 20:15: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” HOW does a person ‘get’ Jesus? Though everyone deserves eternal separation from God because of sin, God doesn’t want this to happen. This is why God took on human flesh approximately 2,012 years ago—for the purpose of proving His love by paying the price of sin as everyone’s substitute: Romans 5:8, 1st Corinthians 15:4: But God commendeth [proved] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…he was buried, and he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” Because Jesus Christ was everyone’s substitutionary payment, proven by His resurrection from the dead, there is only one reason a person would go to hell: John 3:17-18: For God sent not his Son [Jesus] into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. There are two groups of people in the world. The ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’. When a person simply believes on Jesus Christ, at that moment they pass from condemnation and punishment, to acceptance and peace with God. Religious affiliation, religious ceremonies and self-righteousness helps no one; all a person needs is Jesus Christ and nothing else. Mr. Dolan had Jesus Christ when he stepped into eternity—will you? 1st John 3:23: “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ…
