He who hears MY word and believes in HIM who sent ME has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24
A passenger boarded a bus that was almost full with a group of merry young people. He took a seat near them and opened his BIBLE. One person among them, wanting to make them all laugh, asked him in a tone of affected earnestness, "Excuse me, can you tell me if it is far to Paradise? "
The man looked him in the face and replied kindly, but equally seriously, "Paradise, my dear boy, is only one step away from you. Won't you take that step now?
That was all he said. But those simple words and the way they had been expressed haunted the young man. He heard them repeatedly and found no peace until he took that one step to JESUS CHRIST, The SAVIOR
Each one of us must also take thatone step to pass from death into life. No-one else can take it for us. Anyone who has parents,relatives or friends who believe in Jesus Christ must know that their faith cannot obviate his or her own. The only thing that others can do for us is to lead us to Jesus, for there is one God and one meditator between GOD and men, , the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2, 5.6).
Whoever turns to HIM, confessing his sins, will receive forgiveness. Christ gave His life on the cross to pay the ransom for the guilt of all who accept it in faith. No reader should hesitate to take this one step.
