When God first created Adam and Eve, they lived with Him in the beautiful Garden of Eden. When Jesus was dying on the cross, He told one of the thieves being crucified with Him "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). Paradise is living forever with God, the Almighty who is the Creator of all. He offers us the chance to live with Him forever in Paradise, where there are no tears, no pain, no sin, and no suffering. HE is not responsible for the pain, suffering, and death in this world. He has allowed men free will, and on this earth, there is illness, loss, and deception. But He offers
us hope for perfect love, beauty, and joy. You may ask, "Can we really know that?" And the answer is that yes, we can. God has provided
a way ~ just one way. It's a free gift that He is offering to you. As we stand before
God, He will count us as sinnless (though we stand there in our sins)
This faith in God's finished work, rather than in any good works we might possibly do or have done, is how we become born-again as His child for eternity. And eternity can start now. The alternative is separation from Him. Eternity in hell, a place meant for demons, not humans. Demons have no mercy or love for us. It will be a place of sheer terror. Jesus warned us of Hell and separation from Him. But He loves us enough to let us choose. His desire is for you to come to Him. Come, and taste that the Lord is good! He is the living water!
"This is love: not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins" (1John 4:10) "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31)
