When you can latch onto the idea that God is not responsible for evil…and when you know not to say, “the devil made me do it”…that only leaves one source for evil. Look out. This is gonna sting…human beings. Yep, you and I are the (potential) source for all the bad stuff going on in the world. And there’s only one thing between us and complete destruction…

…the love of Jesus.

Your life, your troubles, your challenges…they’re all very important to Jesus. I don’t know if you know this or not, but He created you. He has a vested interest in your soul. He wants you to live forever with Him in a paradise He’s created for those who love Him. And what’s more…

…He’s paid for every inch of it with His own life and blood. Every nook and cranny of Heaven exists because He exists. Every thing in our universe is here because Jesus spoke it all into existence.

You aren’t required to believe this in order to have a life, here on earth, full of everything your heart desires. In fact, many “rich” people despise any notion of God or Jesus. But here’s the catch…this earthly life only lasts for a short while. 60, 70, 80, maybe 90 years. Then…poof! You’re gone. But your existence continues. And what do real estate professionals say? Location…location…location. That’s the key.

Yep, WHERE you’ll exist forever depends on a single, solitary choice you make here and now. You can either merely exist as a bodiless, spiritless soul forever apart from God and His Life. Or you can live forever in a glorified, incorruptible body…in the presence of the Source of Life. Jesus.

So…you can say…”yeesh, is this guy serious? What a fairy tale!”

Or…

…you can look into it more deeply than you ever have. See if the “mountain of evidence” I’ve written about over and over really pans out. After all…your eternal existence depends on your choice. Are you willing to give up your need to serve “self” and admit you need and want a loving relationship with your Creator? Are you willing to risk being king of a universe of 1 for all of eternity? Or…

…are you willing to take responsibility for your actions and choices? And are you willing to say bad stuff happens because of bad people and their bad decisions? When you can admit these things, and when you can know that God is not responsible for evil…you can begin a life filled with light. Filled with the knowledge that this short time here on earth is only the beginning of something awesome.

I pray that you do. And if you already have…write to me and tell me.
