The Light of the World

What I am about to say, not all will be able to accept. Maybe people will insult me or make fun of me, and maybe others will refute what I say, since they believe in something other than what I write here. I do not know the whole Truth, and I don’t pretend to; but what I do know, I believe that I have learned most of it from the Bible, if not all. But if I can reach just one person, then it will have been worthwhile.

The Word of God is good, and full of wisdom and love. His message is of peace, life, faith, and love. Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who is One with the Father, came down from heaven, so that He would die for our sins. As you have most likely heard: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

If any think that I simply believe in what I am told, then you are wrong. Over the past few years, my opinions have, I would say, changed drastically. Many of the opinions I have are based from what I read in the Bible, not what others tell me. Some people think that Christians are foolish for believing in something they can’t see, of which they believe there is no proof of. Faith plays a role in this, and many of the people who doubt say that this is proof of idiocy. It is not. It is brave to put faith in something, especially when others insult you for your faith that you have.

Some look at the world and say, “How can there be God in this? He must be made up. There is too much evil in this world for there to be a God.” In doing this, they themselves become partakers of the evil that they say they despise. For in not believing, they turn from God to do there own things, and some of the things they do are evil and sinful. Sins hurt the world and its people. God sent His Son to prevent this, and turn people away from their sins, so they might be acceptable in goodness and righteousness. The evil that overtakes the world would by no means exist if all people would turn to God, but since they do not, evil corrupts the world.

However, there is more in the world than sinfulness and corruption, for when God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to the earth, He did not send Him to condemn the world, but to save it, as it says in the Bible. The salvation of any people is made possible through this gift and sacrifice. If you turn away from sin and accept God through the Lord Jesus, then you will be His sons and daughters. For as it says, “Therefore ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.’” II Corinthians 6:17-18

For those of you who despair, and think that there is nothing in life, then be happy, for there can be something better for you. For you are blessed by God for your struggles and sadness. “And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
Then he opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you, and say all evil against you falsely for My sake.” Matthew 5:1-11

Help people, and give to charity. Be good, turn away from sin, and accept God through Jesus Christ. I know this is hard, and even I haven’t completely done these things, but eternal life and unimaginable joy belong to those who do this. I say to everyone, “Please read the Bible. If you have any questions, troubles, problems (even with the Bible), or just curiosity, then your mind will be opened to this source of knowledge, goodness, love, and strength, with God willing.

May the peace of the Lord be with you.

Sincerely,
L
