The Door

   The Bible clearly states God is "Our Heavenly Father" to all who will believe He loves them by seeing how much He loved them.
How do you see His Love? By looking at the cross where "God SO LOVED the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son" as a pure, holy, sinless sacrifice to pay for our sins.
   The Bible says Jesus was "slain from the foundation of the world." He was ready to die for us BEFORE He even created us.
That is real love people. 

   Jesus is The Door to God. He said "I AM the Door. No one comes to the Father but by Me." He's The Way to God. And He's The Life OF God. 
   The Word says "He who has the Son has the Father. He who does not have the Son, does not have the Father."
   Until I met Jesus, I believed in God, in a heaven and a hell. I thought I was a good person and MIGHT go to heaven but I wasn't sure. 
   I found out that no one goes to heaven for being good, kind or loving. Because "ALL our righteousness is as filthy rags to God."
I found out I needed Jesus in my heart or I was not going go to Heaven, period. 

   I was a skydiver. Believe me if you parachute, you WILL PRAY. I prayed hard before every jump but it never gave me any peace.
One day it hit me as I looked down from 7200 feet, ready to jump, "Man, I could cream in (Die) on this jump. God if you'll get me through this jump, I'll find out if I'm saved or not."

   He got me through the jump. So I began to talk to God. In my search for Him I realized something; that my life of having a fast parachute, a fast motorcycle, a fast hot rod,  and living fast with women, did not satisfy me. The more I had, the less they satisfied.     There was an emptiness inside, all these could not fill. So I shook my fist at God and said, "God if all I have won't satisfy me, what will? Why was I created?
   I told Him, "I'm not letting go of You till I get  an answer."

   God answered by someone telling me, "There's a small prayer group that has more girls than guys, you might be able to get a date there."  
   So I went looking for a date and found out, I was not saved. They had God's Agape Love shining from them. I found out Jesus was the ONLY WAY to know God.
   So at my apartment, I knelt and said, "Jesus, I believe in Your blood that was shed for me on the cross. I ask You to come into my heart and save me and Your Word says You will come in and never leave me nor forsake me." 
   I didn't feel different but I went to sleep a "Born again" creation of God. The next morning as I woke up, I heard Jesus say in my heart, "I've taken your sins all away. You don't have to carry them any more." My shoulders were as light as feathers as though a great weight was just taken off them.

    I Found out we were created to Love God back, He wanted a great family to love on and be loved in return. 
   He wants us to learn to live by faith. God says "I know the plans I have for you. Plans for your good and not your harm."
