The Most Important News

Before anything else, I am a Christian, a daughter of Jesus.

I understand that you may not be interested in my posts about Jesus or Faith- but I am exhorted to spread the word on any platform I have. Tom might have a soapbox, but I have a website.

The Most Important News You Will Ever Hear.

In the beginning, when God created the world, man and all the creatures of the Earth, man had full fellowship with God. But man disobeyed the Lord and was cast out of the Garden of Eden. God though, full of infinite love for man, set out to show man our need for Him and the necessity for a savior since man is sinful and good works cannot save us.

About 2000 years ago, God humbled Himself and came to dwell among us as Jesus Christ, 100% man, 100% God. Jesus lived a sinless life and taught the Israelites about the Kingdom of God. At the appointed time, Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified, bore the sins of the whole world; past, present and future and gave up His life. On the third day, He rose from the dead and was seen on Earth for 40 days. During that time, He commissioned all which believed in Him to preach the gospel unto the world. At the end of the 40 days He ascended back into heaven but, the Lord Jesus Christ is slated to return soon.

The gospel is summed up in John 3:16-18:
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Time for the Good News
Jesus, God in the flesh, came to earth, born of a virgin, lived the life that you and I cannot live. He kept the laws of God perfectly. Being without sin, fully of righteousness, He was brutally murdered so that the scriptures might be fulfilled....

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Good news indeed. To receive the forgiveness of God, the bible says you must repent, turn from your sins, apologizing to God for your law breaking and place your trust in Jesus, the only one that can save you. When you do that, the bible says that you are born again of the Holy Spirit. Justified, free and clear of your sin because Jesus took the penalty for it.

Repent & believe, there is salvation in no other (John 14:6). Many religions claim to believe in Jesus and say they believe in God. But they pervert the truth and say Jesus is just a man and preach heresies about God while making up their own rules and vain traditions.

I'll leave you with this, Galatians 1:8-9
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

January 2014
We've been looking for a church that followed the Word of God (and not a man in a pulpit). In August 2013 we found a biblical Baptist church in Brooklyn and in January 2014 we were baptized and officially became members. If you are local and looking for a home church (or are passing through and in search of a service to attend), feel free to visit Brooklyn Baptist Church. Here's our Statement of Faith and Contact Us pages if your interested in attending. Also, feel free to email me if you have any questions.

    1. Yes! While I don't center all my posts on Christ (some of what I put up are very fluffy pieces, after all) I wanted there to be no mistaking the focus behind my life. And, really, it is an amazing story that everyone should know!
