There is a real God (whether you deny it or not) whose kingdom has come on earth amongst humans, & you are invited.

God made you (and all things) & sustains you (and them) minute by minute, whether you believe/like it or not.

God gave you brains & abilities, expects you to use them, and can help you. 

Mankind had an Adam-&-Eve "falling out" with God many thousands of years ago & became "fallen", thereafter inheriting the fallen "human nature".

Being "fallen", mankind is readily subject to the influence of supernatural evil spirits & the enticement of sins.

And ALL sin, even the slightest (even if you just "think" it), is an offense against the perfect God...God condemns all sin.

On their own account, God can't have sinners & sinning with Him.

To "get right", we sin-filled humans owe a "fallen person's" ransom debt to God.

***Humans don't know that the sin debt to be redeemed from God's original eternal condemnation of us was previously (already) paid for all humans who have ever lived, are alive today, or who ever will live on earth in the future! It was paid by Jesus. All are forgiven. The redemption of mankind has already happened!

That redemption payment covered all past, present, and future sins...now there is no unpardonable sin!

God could have simply bestowed salvation from above onto mankind. Why did He send Jesus?

	to show that a price (of unblemished innocent blood of the perfect Jesus) was actually paid.
	to prove it with the Resurrection of Jesus from mortal death.
	to have Jesus live & forever record the example of the grace & love of Jesus as God's witness of the "how to" for righteous relational living on earth.
	to set a means for humans to get the indwelling supernatural power of divinity (Holy Spirit) while on earth (a person can't get this without the spiritual baptism of accepting Jesus as your savior).
	to make a divine & perfectly dependable friend (Jesus) constantly available to even the greatest or the most outcast (but they also can't get this without the spiritual baptism of accepting Jesus as your savior).

There is eternal existence after earthly death.

The truth of the redemption and of life after death was proven by the resurrection of Jesus and His appearing for many days among at least 500 witnesses.

God has an earthly purpose for every human created.

Therefore, your life on earth is meant to "count" & potentially counts greatly.

Jesus paid, by His crucifixion blood, the redemption price & is the Savior and available to all...but He is not your Santa Claus or a geni in a bottle.

But He is ALSO the answer to the hurt & disappointment in this "fallen" life on earth.

While God has forgiven humans, Jesus is the real way to your being enabled to truly & deeply forgive yourself & others.

There is a guaranteed way to find your purpose; and,

a guaranteed way to do your purpose...to do "good works"

and for "work" to be fulfilling & joyful.

That is, there is a guaranteed way to be fulfilled & filled with joy, optimism, & positivity in life.

And, there is a guaranteed way to have peace in the ups & downs of life in a fallen world.

This supernatural God of the universe actually desires to have a personal & intimate relationship with you (each human)...even indwelling in you as the Holy Spirit & being a friend who sticks closer to you than a brother (as Jesus).

And God wants to do (& can do) all the above for you and/or see that you are enabled to do some of it yourself.

God left a supernatural Teacher & power source (the divine Holy Spirit) for you who can reside at all times in you...indwell you.

this teacher can lead you into a great attitude!

Except for some exception that God Himself could make, the Holy Spirit comes into a person for residence only by way of that person's belief in Jesus (spiritual baptism).

That is, it takes two to live the life that God wants for each human...this great Christian life: a person plus the Holy Spirit. And, the Holy Spirit does not indwell unless there is spiritual baptism by way of a person accepting Jesus (or unless God causes it some other way) as who He is.

It seems that there is division in the understanding of Christianity because scripture seems unclear as to which "eternity" or "eternal" or "everlasting" it is referring (and individuals are left to "struggle it out" or just follow the teaching of whomever they chose to follow). Eternity began with The Beginning and goes on for infinity &, for YOU, includes the years of both (1) your earthly life & (2) the here-after life.

Eternal salvation has two personal components just as do each humans "life":

	earthly segment of eternity: the time of a person's life on earth.
	afterlife segment of eternity: the endless future time of "life" after a person's earthly death.

Jesus died (and ONLY Jesus could qualify) to secure eternal afterlife with God for ALL humans...eternal salvation (the afterlife part).

And Jesus died so that power to live His teaching could come to humans for the earthly segment of eternal life. Through Jesus only, a human can get the personal, divine, lifelong (eternal = "for a long time") mentorship of God through the internal indwelling of the Holy Spirit...eternal salvation (the earthly part). You just have to believe in Jesus! Then the Holy Spirit comes in ("spiritual baptism") to indwell & "save" you in this earthly period of eternity. The Spirit instills you with one or more "spiritual gifts".

No other religion, world view, or life view offers anything like The Truth of the above!!!

Part of the modern-day evidence of the truth of the above is that Christianity is the ONLY religion in the world that can be openly discriminated against & defiled without public outcry by non-Christians!
