theory that groups of organisms change with passage of time, mainly as
a result of natural selection, so that descendants differ
morphologically and physiologically from their ancestors. Many
people believe what they’re told without examining the evidence. Did we
evolve from slime, or do we have a Creator? The evidence is there—and
your eternity depends on it. If there is a God, what will happen when
you die? The Bible says God has a standard that He will judge you by on
your appointed day of death. It’s called the Ten Commandments. Let’s
see how you will do. Ever lied (including white lies and fibs)? Ever
stolen anything (no matter the value)? Ever used God’s name in vain, as
a curse word to express disgust? The Seventh Commandment is “You shall
not commit adultery,” but Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust
for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Have you
ever looked with lust at someone you’re not married to? If you said yes
to these four questions, then by your own admission you’re a lying,
thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart, and we’ve only looked at
four of the Ten Commandments. On Judgment Day, if
God were to judge you by that standard, would you be innocent or
guilty? Would you go to Heaven or Hell? The Bible says that you would
be guilty, and would be sentenced to death and eternity in Hell. But
God, the just Judge of the universe, is also rich in mercy. He sent His
Son, Jesus, to suffer and die on the cross on your behalf to take the
punishment for your sins. He paid your penalty with His life's blood.
That means God can commute your death sentence. He can forgive your
sins and allow you to live because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Through His death and resurrection, God can now dismiss your case. So
what must you do? You must repent and place your trust in Jesus. Don't
just confess your sins to God—turn from them. Don't just believe in
Jesus—trust in Him, like you would trust in a parachute to save you.
You don't just believe in a parachute, you put your trust into it!
That's what you must do with the savior. Then read the Bible daily, and
obey what you read. Please visit www.TheGoodPersonTest.net. |
