Letter to Jesus, with lies from the enemy
Letter sent in response to Jesus' Love Letter
Dear Jesus,
I received your letter sometime ago and did not know how to tell You that I have let my heart wonder from the truth and life that I know is in Your Word. So my heart has grown cold and I am having a difficult time with Satan and what is being said by others. Is our home really almost finished? You know some are saying that,
Lie #1: All people will be forgiven and be in Heaven. God will surely fogive me without Jesus in my life. [ John 10:7-10 ]
Lie #2: There is no God or Devil.
Lie #3: There is no Heaven or Hell. [ Matthew 25:31-33, 41 ]
Lie #4: The Bible was just a book written by men. [ II Timothy 3:16 ]
Lie #5: Religion was thought up by a man or men to control the masses
But, when I think of the things my brothers and sisters are doing and what You said about longing to hold me again, I get a real sinking feeling in my heart. Is God the Father, really looking at all we do? You know it really is getting hotter down here. But, there are some who say,
Lie #6: Man evolved. [ Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:7 ]
Lie #7: I believe some of the Bible is true and I don't take it so literal; I am okay.
Lie #8: I can get to Heaven on my own good behavior or merit.
[ Ephesians 2:8-9 ]
Lie #9: I am good and I will be good and help others.
Lie #10: I believe in God but I don't think I need to ask Jesus into my heart, because there are many ways to Him. [ John 14:6 ]
But when You talk about the river of life and the trees that are full of fruit, I really wonder what I have been thinking. I wanted to call the Father, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to make you ashamed of me. How could you keep bragging about me and telling your Dad how beautiful I am? I really am going to try not to listen to any more of those lies. But here I go again,
Lie #11: I believe there is a God. I believe in God. This "cross" or "Jesus" thing is not for me.
Lie #12: I believe in God, and His Son and what Jesus did. I am good, and that is good enough!
Lie #13: I believe Jesus was just a Prophet sent by God.
[ Matthew 3:16-17 ]
Lie #14: How can Jesus' Blood save anyone?...that's a bloddy religion. Do you expect me to teach mt children that?
[ Hebrews 9:11-14, 22, 24, Hebrews 10:19-22 ]
Lie #15: God is dead or I am not inportant enought to Him.
As I feel all the love that you put in Your letter to me, and I have only a few days before I see You, I have decided to do what You have told me and ask everyone of my family and friends to church. And tell them about the love You have for each one of us. Please forgive me.
I love You Jesus!
P.S. I know this has been a long letter, but it has been a long time.
