What If I AM Right
I know most people disagree with my worldview. They believe it’s wrong of me to ever say their lifestyle choice could lead them to hell. In other words, they think it’s wrong of me to tell them they’re wrong. Do you get how silly that is on even the most elementary level? Well, for one moment, please consider this possibility…what if I AM right?
What if there’s only one God, the God of the Christian and Jewish Bible? What if He really did all those things the Bible says He did? And what if He really did take on human flesh by being born of a woman? And what if He really did come here to take the punishment for sin that was due each and every one of us?
And what if He really did suffer a tortuous death on cross of wood? And what if He really did rise from the dead to show us the Way to eternal life in Paradise with Him? And what if all He asks in return is your belief and your love?
Why in the world would you…or do you…not want that? Eternal life in Paradise that is.
Let’s say you’re right when you say there is no Heaven or Hell. And let’s say you’re right when you say there’s no God who created the universe and everything in it. OK…assuming those assertions are correct, do they give you hope? Do they inspire love? Do they drive you to want to want to lift up your fellow man?
Or do those assertions of a Godless existence stir up a feeling of futility? Do they fester inside you like a cauldron of boiling anxiety? After all…if these 60, 70, 80, 90, or even 100 years we have on Earth are all we have…we absolutely must live them for all they’re worth. Since there won’t be anything to look forward to after we die, our lives…by necessity…must account for so much more.
On the other hand…what if I AM right? What would you have to lose? Your sense of hopelessness and futility. What would you stand to gain? That which is written on the tablet of your heart…if you’ll just open it up and read…eternity. Please give up your desire to BE a god. And instead give your heart to the one, true God who loves you.
In Faith, Hope, and Love”
