Bad News
Unfortunately, there is good news and bad news to this... The bad news is that there is an afterlife.
The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth,
and created
Man on the earth. Now, man was, for all practical purposes, perfect. He
did not know he was naked, and was not ashamed. Nor did man know evil.
Then, Satan tempted Eve to eat the fruit that she was forbidden to
eat. She, in turn, tempted Adam, and he, too, ate. After they ate the
fruit,
they were aware that they were naked, and they hid. Because of
this
event in history, man for all time will know good and evil, and, by
nature,
will do evil.
What's the problem, you ask? Well, because of our sin, we will surely die. Spiritually, we are lost. We are doomed to spend eternity in hell. You see, friend, there are consequences for our sin, beyond this world.
Good News
The good news is that God is a loving God, and would rather not see you perish. So, He sent his only son, Jesus Christ the Righteous, who did not know sin, to become sin for us. He was crucified on the cross, 2000 years ago, outside the walls of Jerusalem. He died, and was buried. And, on the third day, he rose again from the dead. By His death on the cross, you can have eternal life.
How? It's as easy as A-B-C. Acknowledge that you are a sinner, and need a saviour. Believe in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Confess Him as your Lord and Saviour. The Bible tells us that "If you confess with your mouth `Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. (Romans 10:9, emphasis mine)
Would you like to receive Jesus Christ, right now? Here is a sample prayer, to help you do just that:
