So you were handed a tract? I thank you for stopping by the site. If you have any questions at all please contact me. . At this point I am making some assumptions.
- That you’ve read the tract
- Are researching things further because of a concern about your own spiritual well being.
- Or your just checking this out, and may not believe in the existence of God, nor His Son, Jesus Christ.
In any case, I believe it may be needed to show the existence of God… Before I start typing any further I urge you to check out every single word I tell you. If there is a biblical passage, check it out, check the context… DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!
It’s my experience that the average joe doesn’t want to know about DNA, cells and all that so I wont go there, however on a much larger scale lets look at the world around us. The complexities of it. You see a car driving down the road, how do you know that car didn’t evolve from somewhere? Because of it’s design, hundreds of working parts intelligently put together to form a piece of working machinery. Much like the human eye, without it’s cones and rods, and light receptive cells it’s a useless part of the body. However we can see the design in the eye, much like we see the design in the car. Intelligent Design. Even Darwin said “I admit that the human eye could have evolved seems absurd” (paraphrased) I agree with him, it’s absurd in the highest degree. If you take a look at Mt. Rushmore do you think “wow look at the work of erosion” Of course not, because of the design of the faces, there is an intelligent design behind the carvings. Likewise when we look at the human body we see the complexity of the organs, all interacting together in harmony, the brain, heart, lungs, etc. A biological machine, designed by God, for His glory. If you’d like to explore deeper into creation, into intelligent design please check out these sites. Dr. Dino, Answers In Genesis, Institute for Creation Research, Created for His Glory
I once heard a street preacher say, “In the beginning God…. So it stands to reason that in the end…God” On the back of the tract we see that we’re all guilty of breaking God’s holy law. The 10 commandments. What a divine grace the commandments are, Here is an excellent series on the 10 commandments from Phil Johnson. Please understand I am not looking for church members, or donations, or recognition. I want you to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, it’s the most important message you’ll ever hear. Unlike the money hungry doctrines of the prosperity preachers, this is GOOD NEWS! God’s Moral Law, the 10 commandments were give by God as our way to live, to break any of them is to sin. No one can enter heaven with sin. have you broken any of the commandments? Have you ever lied? Stolen? Lusted? these are all transgressions of God’s Moral law.. If you’re honest, you’ll see you’re guilty. As am I..we’re all guilty. You, Me, the Pope, everyone… But God isn’t wiling that anyone should perish, so He sent His son, Jesus…
Jesus is the Son of God born of a virgin, who lived a perfect and sinless life. Yet He went to the cross and died a horrible death, He shed his innocent blood, taking upon himself the punishment that you and I deserve for breaking His law. Three days later Jesus rose from the dead forever defeating sin and death. What He commands is that you repent and turn away from your sin, and make HIM the Lord and Savior of your life. . Only through Christ can you be saved, as His blood cleanses us of our sins, it’s as a legal transaction took place, Jesus died in our place so that we could spend eternity with Him.
He is truly our only hope. We see in Galatians 2 (ESV)we see that we can’t “earn” our way to Heaven yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
We see this again in Ephesians 2 (KJV) 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
We are saved only by God’s grace, by His undeserved, unmerited, grace.. when we deserve Hell, He blesses us with Heaven. Cry out to Him, submit yourself to Him as Lord of your life. Alone without Christ you will perish, and suffer eternally in hell. With Christ, and through Christ alone are we saved, He chose us, We don’t choose Him. Cry out to Him for forgiveness, confess your sins to Him.. make Him the Lord of your life. I beg.
