2000 years ago a man called Jesus, He claimed to be the Son of God, He did many miracles according the bible. The religious people hated Him because according to them He was blaspheming against the One True God and they wanted to kill Him. He preached all over Israel then known as Palestine for 3 years, eventually one of His disciples betrayed Him into the hands of the religious pharisees for a mere 30 pieces of silver. They arrested Jesus and it begun, they whipped Him until flesh came off His body, put a thorn crown on His head which dug into His brain and hailed Him as the King of the Jews. They then let Him carry His cross to Golgotha, once there they pinned Him to the cross, one nail in each hand and another in both feet. He died on the cross, then put in a tomb near by, He rose three days later.
He had one purpose, one mission when He came to this earth and that was to die on that cross and to preach the gospel; to take away the sins of all the world so that people like you and me, can have eternal life and not pay the penalty for our sin but instead be forgiven. Its all about making a decision to believe that He is the Son of God, to believe in the sacrifice and that He rose from the dead 3 days later and is now seated in Heavenly places at God's right hand.
If I didn't believe in Jesus and I died today, I would spend all eternity separated from God in a place that was not made for me but for the fallen angels and their ring master the initator of all evil. But, because I believe in Jesus I have been forgiven of all my sins and therefore will spend all of eternity with Him.
Now you know, the decision is yours.
