The Good News

     Do you have a loved one who has died without Jesus?  He or she had problems and never really overcame their sin.  They died without believing in the goodness of God.  They never accepted Jesus as their personal lord and savior and certainly never got baptized.  Where does religion say your loved is right now?  Burning in eternal hell?  Separated from God forever with no chance of salvation?  My goodness, the limits and sickness that religion puts on God is mind blowing.  I hope you don’t believe this nonsense.  I’m here to tell you that Christians and religion have lied to you.  This is not wishful thinking as scripture attests:  that as surely as your loved one is dead, he or she will be saved and with God forever.  God is the Savior of all men, especially those that believe (1 Timothy 4:10). 

     God’s love, according to religion, is limited, weak and conditional.  God only loves you if you do or believe certain things and that love runs out if you die before you figure it out.  Muslims and Jews believe that God will torture people for all eternity.  Christians believe that God will burn people forever as well.  Every religion on earth is focused on the human as the deciding factor as to eternal destiny.  Christianity for example, claims that Jesus died for sin but the deciding factor of a hellish or heavenly destiny is squarely on whether or not a person believes this message or performs certain works.  According to these religions, some will make it and some will not.  God’s love runs out on people that do not toe the line.  After all, if a person is burning and kept alive through this conscious suffering for all eternity, then that love has without doubt, ran out. 

     Christians want to quote John 3:16, for thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian.  But according to these religious folk, that love of God runs out on people.  If a person does not believe, does not get baptized, commits certain sins, doesn’t perform sacraments or any combination of these things, then Jesus’s death does not apply to them and hell or eternal separation awaits them.  Therefore, depending on what denomination you belong to, a person must continually be in the right standing with God in order to be saved.  What happens if your belief wavers or you can’t overcome specific sins in your life?  You’re out! 

     Therefore, salvation is not a sure thing and is dependent on human action.  This means nothing is certain and you could lose your standing with God at any moment because of your behavior.  For me, this type of conditional love presented by the church is a farce!  Believe in my son or I will burn you forever is a sick, vindictive lie created by religion in order to control people and get the offerings flowing to the church.  God is not a bipolar, schizophrenic sociopath that loves you one moment and then pulls the rug out from you and tortures you forever if you fail.  How can anyone trust in a god like that?  Thankfully, this is not the true God of scripture.

     A woman asks a man:  “Will you still love me in the morning,” when the man is courting her.  The woman wants to know if the man will still love her when she is not as attractive and things become more difficult.  Personally, the only love I can trust in is one in which God loves enough to still love me even at my worst.  The love worthy of God is strong enough to love me even if I die in sin and unbelief.   Even if I hate God, He will still love me.  That’s the certainty of love that I need and thankfully, that is exactly the love that God has not only for me, but for all of us!  God’s love never fails.  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1: 15-16) not those that respond to Him properly or follow religious rules.  We all are sinners and Jesus saves us even while we are at our worst.  He saves us even if we die without believing in Him.  Jesus saves even the vilest sinner that has never repented.  He loves us when we are unlovable.

     The Apostle Paul, in chapter 5 of Romans, says that while we are still sinners, Christ died for our sakes.  For if, being enemies, we were conciliated to God through the death of His Son, much rather, being conciliated, we shall be saved in His life (Romans 5: 10-11).  The bible says that Christ made things right with us WHILE WE WERE ENEMIES!  God does not make us perform or believe for Him in order to save us.  Instead, through the death of Jesus, God makes things right with those that are enemies.  This is a huge and overlooked message of the love of God.  This scripture tells us that Christ has made things right between God and humans before the humans did anything to please God.  He conciliated us WHILE WE WERE ENEMIES. 

     We are all enemies of God at some point as scripture says For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that He may have mercy on them all (Romans 11:32).  Jesus takes care of all sins as attested in scripture.  He (Jesus) is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2).  Just as sure as death comes to all people and we experience it, so shall everlasting life come to all people and every last one of us will experience it (1 Corinthians 15:22).  You see, Christ’s death saved every man, woman and child that has ever walked the face of the earth.  However, not everyone realizes it.  In fact, most people do not realize it because they can’t. 

     The god (Satan) of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4).  Satan has used religion and its puppets to convince people that God only loves you if you come to the altar or otherwise perform for Him.  Church leaders twist the scripture to fit their bogus doctrines and push it on unsuspecting, trusting individuals.  This is brainwashing in the worst form.   Religion teaches that Christ’s death and God’s love are dependent upon and only work if humans contribute belief or works.  If they don’t contribute, then people forfeit the death and resurrection and consequently, God’s love.  Please!  That is Satan’s teaching if ever I heard it.  Don’t believe it!  Humans do not have the power to overcome or thwart the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ nor the love of God. 

     The church, religion and Satan have misrepresented Jesus Christ and God in the worst way.  Because of this, many believe that God will torture people forever and has no sovereign power or desire to ever rescue this part of creation.  The lies of eternal hell, man’s free-will and the teaching that the dead are not dead are taught in mainstream religion and society.  It is difficult to break free from these chains but God has given faith and a realization of the truth to some people.  These people that believe that Jesus died and will eventually save all mankind through His death and resurrection will have the privilege of ruling and reigning with Christ.  They will have a special salvation.  These people come in early to knowledge of the truth because God gave them the grace and faith to believe.  True believers did not earn or deserve this but instead God chose them.  For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2: 8-10). 

     God, Who saves us and calls us with a holy calling, not in accord with acts, but in accord with His own purpose and the grace which is given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time (2 Timothy 1:9).  God chose the people that would believe this message before the beginning of time, before they were even born.  It is God’s choice to give belief to and save a select few now.  The rest of humanity, He will save later.  So if your loved one missed the boat or did not come to Jesus in this life; the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus still saves him or her.  They will go through judgement and this is never pleasant, however, when God’s judgements come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:9).   

     The title of this book is “The Story of You” because I want you to know that God has a unique and individual plan custom made for you and only you.  It is true that all people will be with God because of the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus.  These righteous actions of God’s Son will save everyone.  However, each will be saved in their own order (1 Corinthians 15:23).  Also, each will go through their own set of evil and pain in this life.  This evil and pain is given to you specifically by God to shape, teach and prepare you for the future joy of God dwelling in you.  God states in Isaiah 45:7, “I create evil.”  He also created your inmost being and knit you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13).  Your pain, struggles, failures and sin are all a part of God’s creative process.  He is shaping your for immortality and an eternal destiny that can only be fully enjoyed because of the unique evil and pain that you endured.  The joy will be that much greater because you endured so much pain.  You are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10) and your heart will be throbbing with joy forever!

     Your eternal destiny is set and unchangeable.  You will not remain dead but will be resurrected to eternal bliss because of Jesus Christ.  This fact can never change.  You can never do anything to lose your place in heaven because your place in heaven was never based on anything you did or didn’t do.  Your place in heaven is based on Jesus Christ and what He did!  Christ Jesus’s death and resurrection applies to you whether you accept it or not.  Now, God does give some people a realization of this truth now.  These people are members of a body that Jesus will one day use to help bring the rest of humanity to a place that realizes this truth.  It is wonderful if God gives you the faith to realize this now in this life.  But, if not, He will give it to you at a later time.  Your loved one that died without Jesus Christ will one day rise from the dead by the power of Jesus Christ.  This will happen after death is destroyed; however, it will most definitely happen.  God will one day dwell in everyone (1 Corinthians 15:28), for that is the glorious plan that fulfills and validates every evil that built up to this point.

     This book was written over years of studying scripture and looking into the proper meanings of the words used.  The purpose is to give my readers an introduction into the real truth of scripture that has been hidden by main stream society, Christianity and other religions.  Pastors do not teach these truths because they come from institutions that have relied lies for so long that they teach them as unquestionable truths.  Of course, I encourage you to look and study scripture for yourself.  The more you study these truths the more they will become evident to you.  It is my prayer that you search out the truth and put any religious or societal preconceived notions on the shelf.  Please look at the bible through what the words actual say not what others tell you they say.  You will see that every story and every verse in scripture taken in the right context, teaches that God loves all people and will save all people.   I may be repetitive at times but the lies have been so entrenched in the individual’s mind that driving the point home is very necessary. 

     “The story of you” is God’s plan for your life.  He has formed your being and has created your life and circumstances.  God has planned every moment of your life down to the tiniest minutia of detail and leaves nothing to chance.  Though there are some joys in this life, it is an experience of evil God has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it (Ecclesiastes 1: 13).  God does not waist any experience or pain that you go through.  We don’t know what will happen tomorrow and life unfolds for us moment by moment in a way we cannot know.  This is how we live as humans; God, however, declares the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.  God’s purpose will stand and He will do all that He pleases (Isaiah 46:10). 

     God has planned your life and the lives of your loved ones.  He even planned the failures and mistakes that you have made and the ones you will make in the future.  However, God also sent his Son to be slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).  This means that God provided the answer to your sin and infirmities before you were even born.  Christ Jesus will one day make every wrong right and the hole that evil and death has caused in your life will be filled completely.  Your heart will throb with joy and the experience of life that God created you to walk in will lead you into perfection.  Jesus will destroy sin, evil and death so that all is left is life.  Life filled with the glory of God for you and all your loved ones, no matter what happens!
