Spin Doctors!
“News?” Media!
Political Polishers!
Slanted Statements!
Who knows what to believe these days?
It seems like everyone has his own agenda whether it be personal, political, or financial.
The God of the Bible, however, tells the truth, even though it is very unpopular and causes most people to hate Him. Read on:

“The human heart is the most deceit-ful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” – Jeremiah 17:9
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. – Romans 3:23
“For all people are Mine to judge—both parents and children alike. And this is My rule: the person who sins is the one who will die.” – Ezekiel 18:4

You see, God tells it like it is.
Our sins have separated us from Him [Isaiah 59:2].
That is what death means to be eternally separated from God.
Bad news!

But the astounding thing is that
God also has
Good News for us!
[and you are thinking, “Here comes the sales pitch”]
Here it is:
this same God

has paid the total cost
for the free gift
of being eternally re-united with Him! Instead of hell,
you could have
heaven in your future!
Read on:

For the wages of sin is death,but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. – Romans 3:23
For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16
[Jesus said], “I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God Who sent Me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. – John 5:24

Now that you know the bad news
and the good news
from the God of the Bible,
you are faced with these two questions
which Pilate, [who condemned Jesus to death, the death which paid the price for his and your eternal life] asked:

“What is truth?” – John 18:38
“Then what should I do with Jesus, Who is called the Messiah?” – Matthew 27:22

May I plead with you
not to “crucify” Him again
out of your life,
but rather that
you will echo the words of His disciple Peter, who, when Jesus asked His disciples if they would be leaving Him, answered,

“Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know You are the Holy One of God.” – John 6:68.69
