Step 5 To Find Peace With God

This Is The Final Step For You 
  ~  
To Have Eternal Life With God. 
  ~  
So Do Not Put It Off, As There 
  ~  
May Never Be Another Chance! 
  ~  
  ~  
God knows who you are, He loves you, 
and He wants you to know and love Him. 
  ~  
How do you do that? 
  ~   
You must first admit that, like everyone else, you are a sinner. 
Being sinners means that we are imperfect and do wrong; 
we fall short of God’s perfect standard. It also means we are 
separated from Him and deserve His judgment. 
  ~   
But He loves us! God sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die 
for our sins. He died for your sins. He was punished so you 
don’t have to be. Not only that; death did not defeat Him. 
After three days, Jesus rose from the dead, alive again! 
  ~   
Trusting in Jesus’ sacrifice for you is the only way to find 
forgiveness from God and to begin a relationship with Him. 
We urge you to take this step of faith today. To do that, 
simply talk to God – this is called praying – and tell Him you 
believe in His Son. Christians suggest a prayer like this: 
  ~   
“Dear Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. 
I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. 
 I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. 
Guide my life and help me to do your will. 
In your name, amen.”

Should not perish

What do I have to do to go to heaven?
  ~  
God isn’t waiting to judge you. God isn’t waiting to condemn you. He’s waiting to receive you with mercy, with love, with open arms, and forgive all your sins. Will you come to Him? Will you turn from your sin and promise to live for Him?

That He gave His only Son

Who is Jesus? What does His life, death and resurrection mean for me?

Step 1 To Find Peace With God

God so loved the world 

  ~ 

  ~  

Does God love me? The answer is in the Bible, God’s Word:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love.” — Jeremiah 31:3
God loves you, and He loves you with a love that you don’t know anything about, 
because there is no human love comparable to divine love. 
God loves you. He wants to forgive you. 
He wants to have fellowship with you.
  ~  
God is love.” — 1 John 4:16
It doesn’t make any difference how far you try to run from God. 
He loves you. His eye is on you. He sees you. 
God loves you, and the Bible says 
that God sent His Son from heaven to this earth for you. 
Jesus Christ came to this earth to take your sins upon a cross. 
God has a plan for your life.
   ~   
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord.  
‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. 
Plans to give you hope and a future.’” — Jeremiah 29:11
   ~   
God created us in His image, and you are important to God.
Indeed the very hairs of your head are numbered.” — Luke 12:7

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Quotes by Thomas Jefferson

1. "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."

2. "It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."

3. "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

4. "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy."

5. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms, within his own lands"

6. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." 

7. "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."

Why Did My Son Have To Die?

A mother asked this President...  'Why did my son have to die in Iraq?' 
   
   
A mother asked this President..  'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia?'
   
   
A mother asked this  President...  'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait?' 
   
   

Another mother asked this President...  'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam ?'
   
   

Another mother asked this President...
  'Why did my son have to die in Korea ?'
   
   
Another mother asked this President...  'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?'

   
   

Another mother asked this President...  'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France ?'

   
   

Yet another mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?'

   
   

And yet  another mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge?'


Then long, long ago, a mother asked..
  
   
'Heavenly Father...why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?'

The answer is always the same, 'So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, & freedom.'

This was emailed to me with no author.  I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.

Were You Awake To See The New Year Come To Your Part Of This World At 12:01 AM? 

I Woke Up 10 Minutes Before Midnight, Turned On Our Bedroom TV To Watch The Ball Drop, 
Then Turned It Back Off And Was Right Back Into Dreamland Within A Couple Minutes, Ha, Ha!
