Every one in the world has spiritual needs. We all have different needs. Let's talk about sorrow for instance. Every one has a certain degree of sorrow in their hearts. And that sorrow needs to be gotten rid off. That open wound needs to be healed. Some of us would just get ourselves busy, hang out with friends, go to the night clubs, drown ourselves in busyness to conceal that wound.
However, the truth is, that wound, so deep, can only be concealed temporarily. When the lights are off, when the music stops, when you are alone in the room.. all your pain returns. What you need is true healing, not some temporary concealment.. and that.. can only be found in Jesus Christ.
Yes, it is some Christian talk again. Talking about God's goodness and always praising Him. Always saying that God is the answer. But how? Yes, you may feel that Christians are so annoying. They keep pestering you to go to church and to know God. Yes, I admit that sometimes we are insensitive to others' feelings and even their beliefs. And I apologise.
The truth of the matter be told, I was once pretty annoyed with Christians too, before I became one that I realised the reasons behind their actions, especially their pestering. It is truly God who is the answer and we just can't wait for u to know Him so that all your wounds can be completely healed. It is truly only God who can answer all needs and fill the void, the emptiness that is in our hearts. Just singing praises to Him can fill our hearts. Just doing what He says will heal our wounds. It is just so simple. so simple that we can't stand seeing your agony, seeing your pain, seeing your unfilled needs and not doing anything about it, not giving you the Ultimate Answer which we found before you, that is in God alone.
That's the reason behind our pestering. I'm sorry if we did it in an unloving manner. I apologise. It should not be. God respects your choice and so should we. However, every choice has consequences. Receiving Christ into your heart will fill that emptiness and He will give you eternal life. The other, will lead to eternal condemnation.
Now you ask, why eternal condemnation? Why is God so mean? If He really loved us, why did He create hell that we had to suffer in if we made the wrong choice?
Remember, God is loving yet holy. It's His holiness that makes His love so pure, so divine, so protective, so patient. It's His holiness that makes sin detestable in His eyes, even as much as He loves you. He cannot stand sin. Just like your earthly father, he punishes when you do something wrong. Why? Because he loves you. He just wants you to do what he knows is good for you. Imagine heaven with people who are lustful. Imagine heaven with rapists, murderers, thieves. What kind of heaven is that? You may ask, why such a heavy punishment? It's unfair! Honestly, I understand why you are saying it's unfair. But is it more fair to God then? When He had to come down from His throne of glory in heaven to die for our sins-- to die the most painful death, nails hammered into the palms of His hands, for our sins.
It is God's holiness that required the atonement, innocent blood in place of our sins.. that means to wash away our sins and cleanse us. Who would provide that innocent blood? Who? God Himself decided to sacrifice Himself, to provide that atonement that was required for us to be without sin in His eyes, as long as we would acknowledge that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour, and receive Him into our hearts. God gave us an easier way out through His sacrifice. He did not have to come to die for us but He did. So, is it fair to Him? Is it unfair to us now? Absolutely not, since we have an easier way out through His sacrifice.
God loves you. He died for you and I. Accept His love for you. Now is the time of salvation.
