| Equality is a big issue with people—and it should be! Our own Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The late great Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1963 that “Equality means dignity.” We the people, in God’s eyes, are all equal before Him as well, and we will all be held accountable for our actions while here on earth, equally. Where will you go when you die? Will it be Heaven or Hell? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “But I tell you that anyone who looks… lustfully has already committed adultery… in his heart. Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. God, who the Bible says is “rich in mercy,” sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for guilty sinners. We broke God’s Law, but Jesus paid our fine. That means He can legally dismiss our case. He can commute our death sentence: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and God will grant everlasting life to all who trust in Jesus. Then read your Bible daily and obey it. www.exodusinternational.org |
