The Bible tells us that ‘God is the Spirit’ and that ‘God is love.’ (Bible, John 4:24 and 1 John 4:8.) God is the Almighty Spirit of Love! God is the driving force of the universe and is so huge and powerful that it is something completely unimaginable for our understanding! – It’s everywhere, it can do anything and it knows everything! … and even more amazing is that even though he knows everything about us, he still loves us very much. And he would like us to give him a chance, get to know him better and possibly love him too. Because he is so huge and unimaginable for us, he has done something that will help us understand him better. To prove to us how much he loves us, he sent his own Son, Jesus Christ, to earth in the human body. Through him it is possible to understand God better!
Know him!
Would you like to convince yourself that this person full of love, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loves you and would you like to receive his gift of eternal life in heaven? You can start by asking Jesus to enter your life. Maybe by telling him this: ‘Dear Jesus, please enter my life. Forgive me what I have ever done bad. Give me your gift of eternal life in heaven and fill me with your love. Amen.’ Now you can be sure that Jesus is with you and that he will never leave you, you may sometimes forget him, but he will always be with you. He will wait patiently for you to approach him and ask for help whenever you need him. Also, you can already be sure that when you die, you will live with him forever in heaven. He opened the door to a new and wonderful relationship! It is written in the Bible: Whoever becomes a Christian becomes a completely different person. He is never the same again as he was before. A pretty new life has begun! This is the change that God himself is working. (2 Corinthians 5:17 and 18, SNC)
One single life that changed the world
Once upon a time there was a person who was born in a remote village to a simple woman. He grew up in another unknown village and was a carpenter until he was thirty. He then became a traveling preacher for three years. He never wrote a book. He never held any position. He never owned a house. He never had a family. He never went to school. He never entered the modern city. He never strayed more than two hundred miles from his birthplace. He never achieved anything that today’s society considers a sign of greatness. He had no documents of recommendation, only himself. He had nothing of this world, only the power of his divine humanity. Already in his youth, a wave of resistance rose against him. His friends ran away from him. One of them denied it and another betrayed him. He was put into the hands of his opponents and experienced the humiliation of the trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. When he was dying, the executioners drew lots for his only earthly possessions – the robe. When he died, they took him down and placed him in the borrowed grave thanks to the compassion of his friend. Twenty centuries have passed and today it is considered the greatest source of guidance and divine inspiration to which humanity clings. I will certainly not be far from the truth when I say that all the armies that have ever marched; all naval fleets ever sailing; all parliaments that have ever met; And all the kings who ever ruled did not influence the life of man on earth more powerfully than this one life – the life of Jesus.
