When what you believe collides with Truth, what you believe is revealed as False – a lie. Reasonable men do not want to lie, we inherently know it to be wrong. Some of us resolve to change our thinking to no longer believe the False. So we need the Truth. We need to know where to find the Truth.
What is Truth? It is ultimate reality – what actually is, is Truth. A great man once said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Some other men did not like what he said, so they had him arrested, found him guilty in a rigged court trial, severely beat him, and then executed him in the presence of a large crowd. But he proved he did speak the Truth by coming back to Life three days after being put in the grave. In fact, he walked about on the earth for some forty days (seen by hundreds) and talked about the Way to Heaven before He was called up to sit at the right side of God on His throne in Heaven.
So – if you are tired of the Way things are going and want the Truth of eternity about the better life, then you simply tell God you’re sorry for your lies and sins and want His Son, Jesus the Christ (the “man” I mentioned earlier) to be your Redeemer. God will forgive you and will regenerate you, transform you into someone who delights in the Truth and gives up the lies and sins. If you do this, you will have become a Truth-seeker, a Christ-follower, which makes you a child of God. And you will have secured your ultimate destination with Him in Heaven – when your time on earth is done.
If you don’t accept Jesus’ forgiveness of your sins, you’ll not go to Heaven when you die – you’ll go to a horrible place of eternal suffering in Hell, instead of the eternal joy in Heaven. This may help: a clever sign on a message board in front of a church in the north Georgia mountains says it all:
Eternity. Your Choice!
Smoking or Non-smoking?
