Greetings to you in Jesus Christ Holy Name!!!
Dear Beloved in Lord,
The
True
Meaning
of
Christmas
At this time
of year we wish each other a Merry Christmas, but many forget that the real
purpose for Jesus being born onto this earth was to be our Saviour, that is, to
save us from spending eternity in hell. He also came to enrich our lives here on
earth.
Most people
assume that they will go to heaven when they die, unless they have led a pretty
bad life, but this is not what Jesus said, "The road to heaven is narrow and few
find it". In other words, we are all on our way to hell unless we find this
narrow path. We cannot earn our way into heaven, we have to do it God’s way
whether we agree or not.
What angered
the religious leaders so much in Jesus’ day, and led to His death sentence, was
His claim that He had the authority to forgive sins, and that no one would be
accepted into heaven unless He authorized it. This has remained the true
Christian message to this day.
God will
only accept ‘family’ into heaven, that is, those who can pray "Our Father" and
mean it. To become family we have to clean up our life and ask forgiveness for
all past sins, then and only then will God’s Holy Spirit be able to come into us
to make us ‘born again’ so that we will have eternal life, and while we are here
on earth His holy spirit is able to guide, help and heal us.
Another
misconception is that hell, if it exists, is a place of riotous living. The
Bible however says this is a place of outer darkness and eternal torment.
According to people who have caught a glimpse of hell and have been brought back
to life, it is more terrifying than our worst nightmares. A place where all
God’s gifts and everyday pleasures that we take for granted are withdrawn. There
is utter hopelessness: no love, no peace, no joy, and permanent pain forever and
ever. It is literally permanent terror with no respite.
On a more
personal basis, I can confirm that since I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour
I have lost that empty feeling, that hunger for something that is never really
fulfilled. I have an inner feeling of joy, and of being loved and cared for, and
an assurance that whatever happens I have an eternal destination with God in
heaven. No other religion can give you this promise.
God bless
you.

Here are a few verses from the Bible by which each one of us will be judged,
whether or not we agree.
Salvation Prayer
Dear Jesus,
I believe
You are who You claim to be – God’s Son. I understand that You suffered and died
instead of me so that my sins and shortcomings can be forgiven. I believe You
were raised from the dead.
I ask You
now to forgive me for everything that I have ever done wrong, and I ask You to
come into my heart so that my life from now on will be guided by Your Holy
Spirit. I understand that forgiveness is conditional, upon my forgiving everyone
who has ever treated me badly, and this I now do.
Thank You
for dying for me so that I may live forever in Heaven. Please help me every day
to live by Your standards, and to live a life that is pleasing to You. Thank You
for never giving up on me.
Please pass
this message on. It may be confronting but it is the real truth according to
God’s word.
Yours in
Christ Love,
Pastor
