Faith for Living

This web site was created to glorify God through the words of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that as you read Jesus' words you would be spiritually enlightened, enriched, and encouraged. Additionally, we have included biblical and historical information about Jesus' early life and His ministry on earth.

We all know that death is inevitable. But the bible teaches that physical death is not the end and that eternal or everlasting life applies to our spirits only.  Jesus affirms this truth by saying “It is the spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing…” John 6:63. This means that life in our physical bodies is solely dependent on the presence of our spirits; without the spirit there is no life! Furthermore, Jesus teaches that since immortality is specific to our eternal destiny, we must decide in this life because there is no opportunity after death – I told you that you will die in your sin; , for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” Matthew 3:2.  The choice we are faced with making is where we will spend eternity. Jesus tells us that it will be in one of two places based on our choice while alive; either in God's presence or away from Him in hell. While denial of hell is common,  Jesus confirms it's reality - “……It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” Matthew 5:30. This verse is one of several throughout the Gospels and Revelation where Jesus directly refers to hell and what happens there —Mark 9:45. Actually, in Jesus' account of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar, He stated specifically that both men died. He then went on to give us a clear insight into what happened, and where they went after their deaths. -. “So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.–Luke 16:22-23. Jesus explicitly stated that the rich man described hell as “this place of torment" in contrast with the poor man resting in “Abraham's bosom”, a place of peace – Luke 16:19-24Jesus divine mission for coming to earth was to deliver all mankind from the death sentence of sin with hell as their eternal destiny. Therefore in His divine love, God guarantees eternal life to all who believe on Jesus Christ and accept Him as savior - " For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son ,that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16.  Jesus’ sacrificial death, burial and miraculous resurrection  sealed our eternal destiny- John 14:19. Physical death is inevitable and eternity is real. Therefore, we must prepare for both events on earth.  Confessing our sins to God and accepting Jesus as savior is not about religion. It is about being spiritually born again into God's kingdom for all eternity - " He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36.

Remember...

• Eternal life is either with God or without Him

• Life does not end at the grave

• We must prepare for eternity in this life

• God's plan of salvation guarantees eternal life

• Jesus' death, burial and miraculous resurrection  gave us eternal life   

A Prayer for Repentance
Almighty God, I come to You in true repentance for the sins I have committed in word, thought, and deed. I acknowledge that I am a sinner. Please forgive me. In faith I ask that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all of my sins. Father please create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Grant that Your Holy Spirit will guide me and give me the strength to resist temptation. I thank You Father, for loving me just as I am. I rejoice that I am now Your child and Jesus is my savior. In the powerful name of Jesus: Amen.
