Seeking to persuade you to trust and imitate the man, Jesus Christ, who is the image of God the Father (creator of heaven and earth), so you will be free from sin and death through Jesus’ death and resurrection, and will live on a new earth and heaven for ever, enjoying its pleasures and knowing God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, with others.
But why should I trust and imitate Him?:
Because God the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead, the Father can:
- help you in all circumstances
- forgive your sins and break sin’s domination (sin: missing the mark, falling short of His standard. Everyone has sinned except Jesus Christ)
- give you hope of eternal life after your death through your resurrection from the dead (if Jesus does not come to Earth first)
- reconcile you to Himself — although you have a choice, God through Paul, a New Testament apostle, gave the command ‘you be reconciled to God’ (2 Cor 5:20). (The consequence of rejecting His free gift offer is judgement and perishing in the lake of fire (the second death, not alive))
Don’t delay, find out what this life change could mean for you, call on Him today for help.
In short, you will be a new creation in Christ; the priceless benefits of a relationship with God the Father far outweighing being persecuted for seeking to live a godly life (2 Tim 3:12). Examples of persecution: verbal abuse, mockery, shunned by family and friends, betrayal, marginalised, physical abuse, threatened, arrested, imprisoned, tortured, interrogated, killed. Examples being: Jesus, Paul and Old Testament prophets as recorded in the Bible. You are not expected to live this life in your own strength — God’s spirit is given you within to help you trust and obey and continue and endure, come what may. There will be spiritual warfare, not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies, but the whole armour of God to withstand and stand is available.
Christ in you, the hope of glory. Sufferings then the glory.
He loves you passionately, is for you, and wants you to know Him personally.
To make a good decision, you need facts and understanding. The Bible (Hebrew/Christian Scriptures) is the go-to source and authority for this. Please read or listen to it. (Where can I read the Bible?)

Warning
John, one of the apostles of Jesus, stated clearly (1 Jn 4:1-3): ‘Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (has a human nature, is a human being, NOT God, nor god-man) is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.’
A similar warning is given by John in 2 John verses 7-11. Please take heed.
