Although individuals that experience the pressures and horrors of war, divorce, abuse, and other traumas experience many traumas, separation and loss is something that multitudes deal with. The bible teaches us about separation from God and between individuals which is brought about because of sin.
Our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMashiach/Jesus Christ recognized this himself. He had disciples that had spent 3 1/2 years with him, and one day He gave them the bad news that He was going away. It was time in God's eternal plan when Messiah would give His life, a ransom for many. He promised the good news in that He promised to send the "Comforter, saying: "I will not leave you comfortless, but "I" will come to you." On the Day of Pentecost, Peter preached: Repent, be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38) They did, and the apostolic church, which began with it's meetings frequently in synagogues, house churches, or open air meetings was born. Today, God's invitation to know your Heavenly Father, God is still open to you, if you will hear His voice, and obey God's calling on your life. Yeshua said: If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. I and My Father are one.
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again." In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to know God. Yeshua said: You must be born again, which means to be "saved, or to experience salvation." The way God made is easy! You don't have to say thousands of Hail Marys, crawl on broken glass, etc. But you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). As a sinner, you are condemned to , or eternal separation from God, who is the Heavenly Father, as well as the Saviour of the World. “For the wages [payment] of sin is ” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. ". . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)
God loved the world, including you, He robed Himself in flesh in the person of Messiah, and came to earth and dwelled among men. As the Father, He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His and die. "For the life of the flesh is in the ." (Lev. 17:11) without shedding of is no remission [pardon]"(Hebrews 9:22). God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
God has commandeth all men everywhere to repent, for there is coming a day in which He shall judge the world by Yeshua/Jesus." (Acts 17:30). This repentance spoken of is a turning from a lifestyle os sin and unbelief to live for God. It's a change of mind that agrees with God's word, that you are a sinner, but the penalty for your sin and mine was paid for by Yeshua/Jesus on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: " . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .?" Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and resurrected by God. His resurrection powerfully assures that you as a believer can have everlasting life, through Yeshua haMashiach/Jesus Christ. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12). "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). Whosoever includes you. You are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repent. Lift your heart to God in prayer, and ask forgiveness for your sins.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner." Just pray: "God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed , , burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. It takes an abiding relationship with God. You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today. God’s power will save you, keep you and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. Life is not without temptations, but: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13). Don't put your trust in your feelings. They are fickle and can change. Stand on God’s eternal promises, which never change. After you are saved, there are 4 things to practice daily for spiritual growth: Pray -- you talk to God. Read your Bible -- God talks to you. Witness -- you talk for God. You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . ." (2 Timothy 1:8)
