Some questions for you

Do you think there is life after death?

Do you believe in God?

Have you ever read the Bible?

Bible says:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1

If you look at the creation you can see this designed and beautiful thing (including us) are proof of the Creator

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Romans 1:20

Do you know that God have given us a conscience to know right and wrong?

14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 

Romans 2:14-15

And that God has given us some moral laws called Ten Commandments?

And God spoke all these words:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

15 “You shall not steal.

16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Exodus 20: 1-17

Have you ever lied? Yes.

Have you ever stolen something? Yes.

Have you ever used the name of God in vain? Yes.

Why do people use the name of God instead if the ‘s’ word for human excrement?

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

John 7:7

Bible says God will Judge us on the last day:

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a]

Romans 2:5-6

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

Revelation 20:11-12

30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Ezekiel 18:30-32

If you are judged by the ten commandments are you guilty? Yes

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

Romans 2:12

nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God

1 Corinthians 6:10

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8

10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,”[b] also said, “You shall not murder.”[c] If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.

James 2:10-11

Heaven or Hell? Hell

For the wages of sin is death,…

Romans 6:23

… the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.

Proverbs 10:16

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.

Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:14-15

In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.

Luke 16:23

47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where

“‘the worms that eat them do not die,
    and the fire is not quenched.’[a]

Mark 9:47-48

Are you concerned about that? Yes.

But there is the good news: God doesn’t want you to go to hell, so he sent Jesus, his Son, to die and pay the price for our sins.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

He lived a perfect life, without sin, and died on the cross

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

John 19:30

Do you how why Jesus said ‘it’s finished’ just before dying? Because the price was paid and you and I can have eternal life

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

John 3:16-21

But these are written that you may believe[a] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

John 20:31

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[a] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Matthew 19:29

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

The wages of the righteous is life,
    but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.

Proverbs 10:16

You have to repent of your sins, and turn to God and trust in Jesus

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
    in quietness and trust is your strength,
    but you would have none of it.

Isaiah 30:15

“The Redeemer will come to Zion,
    to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”
declares the Lord.

Isaiah 59:20

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

Ezekiel 18:32

 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Matthew 4:17

Repentance is not just being sorry for your sins, is also a commitment to stop sinning. Repentance is a transformation from the inside that will make you see everything differently. The real change, is not only changing your behaviour, it comes from an interion change, that makes you think in a different way. You see the reality not with the eyes of the world, but by the truth and the word of God.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.

John 3:3

 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

1 Peter 1:23

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17
