User:Triskelle3/Jesus Loves You!

I used to be a neo-pagan. Rencarnation, spirits in the trees, the whole bit. I found Jesus on May 24, 2010, through an old gospel tract I found laying on the ground. I love to share my newfound faith and to learn more about it! I don't go to church (all the churches in my area are either catholic or anglican), but I search the scriptures daily, I do, however go to a youth group. My faith is very important to me, and it's changed me alot.

The Story
See, God, created us so he could love us. He didn't need us, but we need him. The Bible says if we don't worship him, the rocks will cry out in our place. It's kind of like when you were little, you got a stuffed toy so you wouldn't be lonely at night. So, he made Adam and Eve. God made everything perfect. There was one rule: don't eat off of the tree of knowledge of good and evil so they could live forever in the Garden of Eden. God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat of this tree, because then they would know what evil is. You don't need to stick your hand in a bucket of tar to know it's black. It's like when your Mam or Da won't let you watch that 18-A movie because they know you'll get nightmares.

Well, then came along Satan, a fallen angel. He was annointed cherub, basicly god's personal bodyguard and leader of worship. Why the God of the universe would need a bodyguard, I don't know. He had everything, a high IQ, a great job, huge muscles, and a dazzling smile. He was probobly looking up in some heavenly mirror one day, thinking "Hey, you have everything. This God guy, he seems so pious. He's such a stickler with all these rules. Hmmm... maybe I'll overthrow him! I'll take all of my servants (1/3 of angels), and we'll get rid of him!". God, being omniscient and omnipresent, knew this, and cast him and his angels out of heaven.

Satan was infuriated, and jealous that these hairless apes called "humans" were getting all of God's attention. He devised a plan to mess it all up. He knew god's one rule. So, one beautiful Eden day, Eve passed by the tree of knowledge. That old serpent came up to her and said "Hey, look how great tasting this fruit looks. It smells so nice, I bet it tastes even better. Trust me, you won't die if you eat it. Don't listen to that rulemaker called 'God'."

Eve fell into the temptation. She ate it, it tasted great. She had to tell Adam, he would love it! But then, she realised she was naked. Oh my! "I'm gonna get cold!" she thought, so she covered herself with fig leaves. She gave Adam a bite and he did the same thing. When God found out, he wasn't a happy camper. They were banished from Eden, doomed to one day die. Curiosity killed the cat, or in this case, the human race.

So, our sin seperates us from god. For years, people killed a lamb once a year to make ammends with god. God got tired of that. So he sent his only son, Jesus, to earth, to show the way to god. Jesus preformed miracles, called the dead back from the grave, and to top it all off, he never sinned. He was a true tsaddik, a holy man. Most people thought he was just that, a holy man. They were wrong, he was the son of God. The Pesach lamb. He was the Messiah of the Jewish people.

However, the corrupt 'kangaroo court' government hated him. If he was Messiah, then he would surely overcome them. So, they had him crucified on a cross made of wood. He had to carry it, until he passed out after some brutal beatings. They made anotehr man carry it for him to a hill called Golgotha.

He was hung on that cross between two thieves, and in front of the Jerusalem public. They put nails trhough his hand and feet. They mocked him, spat on him, and made him wear a crown of thorns. God is holy (hates sin). He hates sin so much he can't even look at it. So, when Jesus bore the sins of you and I, God looked away from him. God forgot him. In that instantaneous moment when sin was washed away, Jesus went through the pain of a trillion hells. Then, he said, with his last breath "IT IS FINISHED". God's victory was imminent. Satan's defeat was in sight.

You see, Jesus went through all this so you wouldn't have to go to hell. He did it out of love. We could never get to heaven on our own, no matter how hard we try. The only way you can get to heaven, to get eternal life with God and Jesus, is to ask god to forgive your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart. That's why it's called "gospel", from the old english meaning "good news"! Isn't that news great?
