The truth of Christ's existence is either completely irrelevant or carries eternal significance - there's no middle ground.

Christ didn't want nor leave us to guess about spiritual matters.

1st John 5:13 says, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you you may KNOW that you have eternal life.

“It doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you are sincere” is the most dangerous theology one could hold, as our choices determine where we shall spend eternity. Even the devil "sincerely" believes there's a God, but he's not going to heaven.

The following is the exact rules of deductive logic: "A" is either true or false. This is the logical law of the excluded middle. There is no middle ground with Christ. We are either for or against Him, and the decision to safeguard/protect our souls from the condemnation that sin placed on us, is completely our responsibility:

Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 15:

"Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ, have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.(1 Corinthians 15:12–19)


When you get down to it, the popular idea of Christianity seems to be this: that Jesus Christ was a great moral teacher, and that if only we took his advice, we might be able to establish a better social order and avoid another war. That is only half the truth. It tells you far less and falls drastically short of the whole truth about Christ. Christ sacrificed His whole life, because he was SO much more than just a "great moral teacher". Father God appointed Jesus as Savior of the world - John 3:16. But never believe that Jesus was forced to save our souls from spiritual death. He volunteered because of His great love for us and he proved it on the cross.

The devil would have us believe just the opposite... that we don't have to do anything to protect our souls. What's sad, is that most believe him. They completely ignore what God said in His Word about the consequences that sin alone, brings us.

God is fair. Sin is not. Sin brings with it, nothing but condemnation and total separation from God, until we allow Jesus to forgive us of our sins, so that we may have eternal life in heaven. John 3:17 tells us that God did not come into the world to condemn it, but just the opposite, to save the world from the condemnation that sin brought us. Gamble with your own soul, and sin is certain to keep you condemned for eternity, separated from God. We cannot drag our sins into heaven. Two verses confirm this:

He that believes on Him (Jesus) is not condemned; but he that believes not, is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18. In other words, it's one does not believe in the only person that could have saved them, Jesus, then there really is no hope for their future, because it was Jesus that God the Father appointed as the only Mediator between God and man, 1st Timothy 2:5, to save our souls and be our Savior.

For the wages (payment) for sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23. You don't have to earn a gift. It's already paid for. All you have to do is accept God's promises as yours, and receive him as your Savior. He'll never turn you away. Come to him just as you are, through prayer, and he will save you, as promised.

Christ's pain and suffering on the cross, was not in vain. There shall be many from every nation that shall be saved. Salvation has nothing to do with denomination. Christ didn't die for certain groups. He died to save everyone in the world. It is His hope and prayer that you will receive Him as Savior, as well. He is not willing that any should perish, but have everlasting life in heaven. John 3:17

God wants the name of his Son to be Glorified and The Son wants his father to be glorified. They opened the Gates of heaven for the sinners so that we could be the part of Heaven and feel heavenly pleasure and have heavenly treasure unlike the earthly treasures that lavish people in here have.

For this, we need purification. Just like anyone comes at our house after rain and we want them to take out their shoes outside. As, That Mud in the shoes signify impurity, bacteria, unhealthy, unhygienic and carrying dirt. If we as common people don't want our temporary house dirty or with pathogens (Sin).


How could the Holy God let us reside in pure sinless heaven with our dirty shoes (Sin) on?


Therefore, Jesus bore our Sin on his shoulders, in his arms, in his flesh which was sinless and took all the sin from us and took all the pain as "the sacrificial Lamb". How can he be not worthy to be remembered, praised and acknowledged?
@DanielsASJ You have it just right! Amen! You raised so many good points.
