Here is the Answer

To have the right eternity (the best future residence versus worst future residence),
need to choose the one right lawyer / intercessor as Savior offered to us by God’s grace and love.
His offer is open to every person, even those who hate Him the most.

Only Jesus (God with us, God in human form) has the credentials to meet God the Father’s entrance requirements of
100% perfection (sinless).
As Savior, perfect priest, resurrected, having fulfilled God the Father’s requirements for approved way to heaven, he has
voluntarily taken our sins upon himself and suffered the wrath of God on our behalf, thus enabling our sins to be forgiven
and satisfy God’s entrance requirements for us.
When the time comes to stand before the judgment throne of God, will I be standing alone or will I have
Jesus there to speak on my behalf and take the wrath of God away from me and onto Himself ?
Each of us must individually make the choice.

While on earth, each of us chooses future residence in eternity. Matthew 10:32-33, 12:30
Our choices in this life have consequences for the rest of eternity. John 3:16-18, 36

God is not into religions.


He is into personal relationships with Him, enabled by trusting Jesus as Savior which results in fellowship and
good works through God’s Holy Spirit indwelling the believer to glorify God.
This is the essence of Christianity.

A Definition of Christianity
It is an inclusive invitation to an exclusive personal relationship with God our Creator Father, Jesus our Savior.
- Inclusive, so no one has an excuse about not being invited.
- Exclusive, so no one can take the relationship away from us.

a. I Timothy 2:3-4, II Peter 3:9


b. Romans chapters 5 & 8, I John 4:10-19, II Corinthians 5:17-21
c. John 10:27-30, Romans 8:37-39, Ephesians 1:13-14, I Peter 2:9-12,15

No longer enemy separated from God, but reconciled to Him: Romans ch. 5, esp. verses 6-11 ; II Corinthians 5:17-
