In the Bible, the Gospel of John Chapter 1 explains who Jesus was:
Verses 1 -3
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
Verses 10 to 14 adds
" He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
Why would God become a man (Jesus), then allow himself to suffer and die on a cross only to rise from the grave on the third day? Because we were separated from God by our sin:
The book of Romans explains:
Chapter 3:23
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
Chapter 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Chapter 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
We all broke the Law of God and Jesus paid our penalty. The resurrection proved the sacrifice was acceptable to God and that Jesus had broken the chains of sin and death.
What is sin? The 10 commandments reveal what sin is. Have you kept them all. The Bible says only Jesus Christ has. If we trust In Jesus and ask him to help us turn from sin he will send us The Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out. Jesus is alive has the power to will grant us eternal life. Do you believe this?

That is so true. If only the unbeliever would stop for a moment their own reasoning and start looking at the reasons of God, so that they would not perish

Hello!
I'm just so glad to find a Christian from UK. There was a time when I used to chat a lot but was not able to find Christians... only agnostics or atheists.
May God bless you and your family abundantly ~
"Why would God become a man (Jesus), then allow himself to suffer and die on a cross only to rise from the grave on the third day? Because we were separated from God by our sin"
So this "god" couldn't just forgive us? Why couldn't we just give him a nice box of chocolates and call it even?
Hi Brother Neil.
That was wonderful. In just a few few short paragraphs, you showed Jesus as God the Creator, God in the flesh, our Redeemer, making us who have believed in Him sons of God.
I thank you for that Gospel presentation and encourage you to continue being a witness to God's grace.
I invite you to visit my Strange Land some time. www.strangerstrangelandcraigboydsblog.

Note to Stronger Now: Apparently, God thought that His idea was better than yours. ; )
Can you prove any of this? Can you provide any reasons why we should believe what you say?
