We plan to make this more engaging, and more nice looking.

How God exists

The universe had a beginning right? Therefore it has to have a creator. If you saw a building, can you prove to be that it had a builder? "well yes, the building is right there, someone had to build it." Exactly, we see the universe, we see that it had a beginning, we see there has to be a creator.

Sin

In the beginning, humans sinned. We've all sinned. Have you ever told a lie, been disrespectful, swore, etc? Yes, and we all have too, and these are the things God will judge is on, so if he did, would you be innocent or guilty?

Guilty

We would be guilty, so would we deserve a punishment or reward? Punishment. And does that sound like heaven or hell? Hell. Hell is the most horrible place, full of fire, suffering, constant agony, for eternity, because you have to pay the punishment for your sins.

There's a Way Out

So, you would need to have someone pay the price of your hell punishment on your behalf, someone willing to sacrifice them selves. Do you get it? That man was Jesus! That's why he was beaten, slapped, mocked, whipped, tortured, forced to cary an 100lb cross, and got hung on a piece of wood with nails in His hands, then ROSE 3 days later. Jesus did that for YOU. That is how much he loves you, that he scarified his life for you, so you don't have to go through the suffering of hell. He paid the price!

Price Paid

Jesus offers that as a free gift, but the thing is you have to accept it. Trust in your mind that Jesus has paid for your sins already, not your good works, not your baptism, not your praying or church going, Jesus paid the price of your punishment, not anything or anyone else.

Life Changed

Now that He saved you from eternal suffering in hell, would you like to punch Him in the face or serve him? You would want to please him, serve him, and try your best not to sin. We're sinners, but with God we can overcome our sin, He will convict you, and you should repent. Remember if you're trusting in Jesus, you're covered, no sins can take away your salvation. just try your best to get up and repent (turn away).

Grow

To grow as a Christian, read the Bible! Start with the New Testament front to back, and you'll learn a lot! make sure to read it every day, it's like your spiritual food. Also pray, it's simple, it's just talking to God, thank him, give him praise, pray for others, and you can pray for your self to grow, and for your own needs! (but obviously God isn't a genie). Find a good church that teaches from the Bible, if you feel ready. And spread this message around, if you asked your family or friends why they would go to heaven, would would they say? Also listen to Chrisitan videos and stuff, they can teach you too, but stay away from content farms and AI, those have no inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

Common Objections

Why does God allow suffering if he's good?

In the beginning God told us to obey him or bad things will happen. And we disobeyed him, so guess what? Bad things happened. Death came into the world, sickness came in, we became sinful, wanting to harm others, etc. We have free will, we choose to do bad things.

Eternal suffering in hell for some sins is unjust!

That's not just it. "some sins" are a massive offence to God, he is the most holy being ever, and one of the worst sins that you can commit is rejecting Jesus' free gift that is worth infinity, eternal life. If you reject that, you get infinite, eternal punishment. It was your choice, and right now you have the choice to take Jesus instead! You are going to hell. I am going to hell. We all are. But we don't have to! Jesus already paid the price, so please accept His gift!
