One of the oldest questions that I can remember being asked is"why do good things happen to bad people""or why do bad things happen to good people?

Believers and non-believers alike have fought with this for centuries.

The Book of Job is the classic example.

Whether you are a non-believer or the most devout Christian you can be, the life on earth is the same.

You get to breathe God's air.

You get to eat food provided by God

You get God's water.

You can get God's finances.

You can have a family and bask in all the things that God gives everyone.

Since we are all sinners and fall short of God's plan he had a backup plan from the beginning and that plan was Jesus Christ who became our ransom for our sins to give the ones who believe and put their faith in him the Promise not the blessing and that Promise is Eternal Life.

We will all die the first death which is of the flesh, does not matter if you are rich , poor whatever nationality or faith for God give all a measure of faith.

The only way to escape the second death is through Jesus Christ who conquered death and is at the right hand of the Father as our advocate.

If you don't know him make 08 the year that you meet and put you trust into him.

Be Blessed in Yeshua's precious name.

Now this is actually something worth printing. Well written, clear in thought, and from the heart, mind, and spirit. This is what I was talking about, belief from the heart in your own words. This is beautiful.
