There is a real God whose kingdom has come on earth.

God made you (and all things) & sustains you (and them) minute by minute.

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".

Being "fallen", mankind is subject to supernatural evil spirits & sins.

And ALL sin, even the slightest, is an offense against the perfect God...God condemns all sin.

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 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...there is no unpardonable sin, now!

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 & record the example of Jesus to last forever of "how to" for righteous living on earth.
	to set a means for humans to get the indwelling supernatural power of divinity while on earth.

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 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 the answer to the hurt & disappointment in life on earth.

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

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

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

and for "work" to be fulfilling & joyful.

That is, there is a guaranteed way to be fulfilled in life.

And, there is a guaranteed way to have peace in life.

This supernatural God of the universe actually desires to have a personal & intimate relationship with you (each human)...even indwelling in you.

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

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

this teacher can give you a great attitude!

The Holy Spirit comes into a person only by way of that person's belief in Jesus (spiritual baptism).

It takes two to live the life that God wants for each human, this great Christian life: a person plus the Holy Spirit.

It seems that there is division in the understanding of Christianity because scripture seems unclear as to which "eternity" or "eternal" it is referring (and individuals are left to "struggle it out" or just follow the teaching of whomever they chose to follow).

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

	earthly: the time of a person's life on earth.
	afterlife: 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. 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!

No other religion or life view offers anything like the above!!!
