God has a message for this world and he wants this message proclaimed. It is the message that was preached by the great prophets of the Old Testament. It is the message that was preached by Jesus Christ when he was here on this earth. And it is the message that Jesus instructed his followers to preach to the entire world. That message is: REPENT OF YOUR SINS, TURN AWAY FROM THEM, AND TURN TO GOD! Forsake the way of Darkness and Sin and turn to the way of Light, Life and Truth as found in Jesus Christ. If you do this there is forgiveness for you. If you do not the consequences are very dire. Turn to God. Commit your heart and life to him. Renounce the Way of the World. Become a believer in Jesus Christ and a follower of His way. Become a Christian. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." (John 11:25-26) and "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). Jesus died for our sins. By his atonement we can have life if we serve him. Christianity is about a personal relationship with God: a relationship characterized by a love of God and the following of His way, not from fear, but from love. It is about an allegiance to God, a commitment of heart and life to him. It is about living by God's principles and rules. It is about following in God's way. And what is God's way? The Way of God is the way taught nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. {8} For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, {20} Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, {21} Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Eph 5:3-12 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; {4} Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. {5} For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. {6} Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. {7} Be not ye therefore partakers with them. {8} For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: {9} (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) {10} Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. {11} And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. {12} For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Prov 24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Heb 9:27 It is appointed unto man once to die .. and after that the judgment. Gen 6:5-6 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. {6} And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Jer 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? {10} I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Ezek 18:4 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Jer 17:7-8 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope is in him. {8} For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out her roots by the river. She does not fear when heat cometh; but her leaf shall be green; and is not anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Mat 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: {20} But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: {21} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mat 7:7-14 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: {8} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {9} Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? {10} Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? {11} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? {12} Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. {13} Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: {14} Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Mat 22:37-40 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. {38} This is the first and great commandment. {39} And the second is
