I Want to Find Inner Peace

Jesus Christ died for you! The son of God was scourged and battered for your sake. He came to pay a debt He did not owe because you who owed it could not pay it. As a sheep to the slaughter, He was crucified; sinless and without blame, He was, and yet words and thorns were hurled at Him; and through it all, He spoke not a word. He proclaimed not evil against His prosecutors, for their injustice, and neither did He cry His Innocence; all these, He did because of you! He knew that all that must happen, leading on to crucifixion, so that with His death - the Lamb of God laid out just as a sacrifice - you might be able to come into salvation, being bought into His righteousness (for He lived a sinless life living by God's law, His delight being in the fear of the Lord.)

He who was rich, full of glory, left His heavenly abode and became poor for your sake that you might be bought out from being a slave to sin to a child of God; from death to eternal life; from Hell to Heaven; from tribulations to testimonies; from Conquered to Conqueror; from sufferer to succeeder.

Repent of your sins and accept Christ as Lord and Saviour; believe the Gospel, the report of Christ. Have faith in Him.
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. No longer shall the devil have authority over your life, working hard against you.

Jesus loves you. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand; God's great day of judgement is near. Please, repent.

Missing Notes-

I understand.

I ask that you permit this, love, but the road you took to find God was not the right one. As a pathway with a misleading signpost, so also was the one you took; it seemed and was made seeming to be the right one, but it wasn't. You seek peace and tranquillity; you seek God. Take heed to my advice then, love, for I have no cause to lead you astray. Believe me. Let God be the one to lead you to Him, do not rely on people - even christians - turn to God to guide you. Read the Bible and be in prayer, continually, and if it is true that you seek God, you will find Him; He will reveal Himself to you. Do not go seeking for guidance from this christian or that christian now; from this church or that church, this Christian organisation or that Christian organisation; let God be your guide. Read the Bible and turn to Him in prayer, He will guide you to Him (leading you to the right christians and church. Let Him be your lead)

.

The Hindus believe in multiple gods and goddesses; the New Ager believes he is (a) god; the Christian believes in one creator being - God; the Buddhist believes in no god; so how then would you say we all worship and seek the same god? The answer then is, no, God is not worshipped in/by religious sects. And if that be your point, then consider this, love. If because I say my dad is my dad because he is 'dad', then your dad also is my dad (& irrelatively the same person) because he is called 'dad'/because others refer to•know him as 'dad' - according to your idealogy. Do you see my point now, love?

But then again, that begs the question; "Lincoln! Even if your point might be right, it still cannot stand in saying that Christianity is the direction to God. How are you sure Christianity is the one above all 4000+ religions?!"

1. Religion informs you that just as long as you try to do good, then you are 'righteous', but if we are to be honest with ourselves, we know that more evil than good is committed by us, ranging from the littlest, tiniest stare of contempt or spite - filled thought against another, to the massacring of whole towns and exploiting of the vulnerable; but God says otherwise. He says that we are slaves to sin - no debating that fact - it is a curse on us, and just as only light can vanquish darkness/only good training can override bad characters/only wisdom can trump foolishness, so also, only perfection (Christ) can cancel imperfection (sin), thereby bringing us to God & declaring us as righteous (by Christ's blood).

2. Religion also bases salvation on good works - which is false, as our bad works outweigh all our good ones, from birth to death - Whereas, sin is a spiritual stain, just as it is a physical one; neither it nor something lesser than it (though opposite to it) can cancel it, but only than which is greater than it AND its polar opposite, and the only Jehovah offers this, via Christ, who was born sinless and lived a sinless life on earth, His delight being in the Fear of God; He became the perfect sacrifice for our sins; was crucified, died, then rose on the 3rd day. He died that a way out of sin into righteousness can made for all mankind; therefore, as He has said, all who repent of their sins and accept Him as Lord & Saviour, will be saved.

There is no god but God, and only in Him can you - and whomever -find true peace.

God bless you, my friend.
