hungry for truth?

This is a summary for those who want the truth on the whole Christianity thing. If that's you then keep reading...
There are some basic principles we all need to come to terms with
Principle One. God is good, he is generous and he loves you. He made the world good and made you for a special purpose. He is also a just God and a God who will judge us (otherwise his love would be weak)
Principle Two. Mankind blew it big time a long time ago when we tried to "play God" and made our own choices of right and wrong. Bad move for us, as we weren't designed to play God, and have been suffering ever since with wars, family hassles, pollution, crime and sickness. What's more, the environment suffers with us. God's justice says that mankind has to pay the penalty for turning against him: it's a death sentence. There are no rebels in heaven. |

Principle Three. Even though we gave up on God, God didn't give up on us. In fact God had a Rescue Mission planned to get us back on side with him. Jesus' mission was to come and die for us! He was the only one who got it right, and he got what we deserved for getting it wrong. We didn't deserve Jesus' help then or now; it is a totally free gift of God. Jesus got killed on a cross, but three days later rose from the dead to prove his mission was a success. He made a bridge back to God through his death! John 3:16 , Romans 5:6-11
Principle Four. It is not enough to know about these principles. You need to act on them. The bridge is there; it's free, but it's not cheap. It's the only one-no making up your own way, (John 14:6). You have a choice of two ways, no in-betweens: accept Jesus, allow him to pay your penalty, be forgiven, follow him as the leader of your life, and he will stick with you for ever. Jesus promises that you will escape his judgment and make it to heaven; or
reject Jesus, pay your own penalty, remain unforgiven, follow your own way and the ways of the world. Jesus promises you will have to stand before God and will suffer his judgment, and hell itself.
