All life has a beginning and an ending. We are given a choice, and God will make clear to everyone, through one way or another, who Jesus is and what He did for us.
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)
God has always been and the world, us, and everything in it, is evidence of His existence.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork." (Psalm 19:1)
With that said, there is also a heaven and a hell. Eternity is a long time; where do you want to spend it? Do you really want to take a chance on your eternal home?
Our Lord teaches us in the Bible to "Love one another as I have loved you," (John 13:34)
The Lord also tells us not to judge others.
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what [b]judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’ and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." (Matthew 7:1-5)
The Bible also tells us that our flesh is weak, and apart from Him, we can do nothing. We need His Holy Spirit, which we receive when we receive Him as Lord and Savior. Jesus was sinless, and with His Holy Spirit, we can love others, show mercy, and grace. We can forgive, as He forgives us.
Being a child of God does not rob you of anything; you GET! Jesus did all the work; He took the punishment for sins that rightfully should be ours. He teaches us to love, to be kind, not to be rude or self-seeking, to show mercy, and to forgive.
We also get the blessings of favor, of being a child of the King! He promises protection, provision, deliverance, healing, victory, and so much more!
Plus, you get the promise of an eternal home in heaven.
What are you waiting for?
It is simple, believe in God and that Jesus is His Son. Believe He died on the cross for your sins, repent, and ask Him into your heart. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [e]right to become children of God. (John 1:12)
Are you ready? Just ask.
"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)
