YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!

You should not be reading this page. This is a forbidden page and you were told NOT TO CLICK THE LINK, but you did. Therefore, you are in BIG BIG TROUBLE. I will tell you what the problem is in just a minute.

A long time ago a similar thing happened to the very first human beings every created. The Bible tells us that Adam and Eve (that was their names) were placed in a beautiful garden called Eden and God instructed them by saying that "You can eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, but of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you SHALL NOT EAT, or you shall surely die." (Genesis 2) So they were in this beautiful place and God gave them permission to do anything they liked, and there was only one rule they had to follow. They couldn't eat the fruit of just one tree.

You may have already guessed what happened....even thought there was only one rule....it didn't take long for them to break it. Its the same with you.....even though you could have clicked any link you liked on that last page, you clicked the only link you were asked to leave alone. And for Adam and Even there were consequences for their disobedience.

God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden, and He placed a curse on the world. The Bible lists all the effects of this curse in Genesis chapter 3 where it tells us that Adam would now have to work for a living by the sweat of his brow. Eve would give birth to children in great pain. Disasters like the recent Tsunami in the Indian Ocean are the result of living in a world which has been cursed by disobedience to God. However as bad as all this is, the worst consequence for this is that SIN has entered the world. No longer were Adam and Eve able to remain friends with God.....they were now full of the "knowledge of evil" and full of sin and were now "rejects."

God didn't want to reject them of course, but He had no choice. He warned them beforehand not to sin because "they would die" but they didn't listen, and sadly they were now rejected by God. Although they didn't die immediately, their bodies were no longer immortal and aging, disease and other nasty effects began to touch them. Finally, they returned to the dust they were made from.

Now I warned you that YOU were in big big trouble. The same SIN that affected Adam and Eve also affects YOU. You are unable to escape its grip. Just imagine trying to be perfect in a world full of rules. Adam and Even couldn't even keep just one rule and yet you are now living in a world full of them. The Bible alone lists over 600 rules that God wants his people to obey............impossible. Sadly, you too are rejected by God because of your sins. God doesn't want to reject you, but it is YOUR SINS that force Him to do this. This is what I meant when I said you were in Big Trouble because it is the sin in your life that is a real problem for you.

God and sin cannot be together. So for you to be accepted by God, the sin will have to go. Fortunately there is also some good news in all of this....and here it is.

The Bible says in John 3:16 that "God so loved the world [which includes you] that he sent His one and only son [Jesus] that whoever believes in Him will not perish [ie suffer the consequences of sin] but have everlasting life." In other words, the good news is that God loves you so much that He couldn't bear the idea of you being rejected so He provided a new way of being able to help you and restore the relationship. He sent His own Son to die an unjust death and by doing so He payed the consequences of sin on your behalf. In other words, there is a chance here for you to get off scot free. In other words, if you do belief that this is true and that God does love you........you will be able to ask and receive from Jesus these things: Freedom from guilt, freedom from sin sins and freedom from the consequences of your sins. In other words, if you ask God to forgive you for these sins, He will....and if you do this you will no longer be rejected but be able to be friends.

Part of being God's friend however includes turning away from a wicked way of life. It means doing something called repentance which is to stop doing what is wrong and start doing what is right. You may not be able to do it perfectly, but God's forgiveness will cover you as you try......however sometimes people purposely want to do what is wrong......and these people can never become a friend of God because they are rejecting Him.

I encourage you today to come near to God, to lay aside your sins and ask for forgiveness. I encourage you to start a journey today with God where you become His friend and get to know and walk with Him. If you would like to do this, you will need to pray and hand your life over to Him, and here is a prayer that might help you do that:

Dear Jesus, I believe that you did come to earth and die on the cross so that my sins might be forgiven. I want to say thank you for this selfless act of yours and ask you to come into my life. Please forgive me and help me live your way now. Provide for my eternal salvation. I ask for your help. Amen.

If you did pray this prayer just now, I would like to help you in your walk with Jesus. I have some friends who will help me pray for you and I would also like to send you some encouraging emails to help you in your faith. If you do want to receive these, then please click below and send me your details and I would be delighted to help.
