~~~~>>> God has a tremendously great and glorious plan. YOU are in it! You are in it no matter who you are, no matter what religion, what race you are, what you do, or what country you are from!! God the Father has a plan that gives ALL a chance for eternal life and happiness. God says in Ezekiel 33:11, "As I live, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and LIVE." Let us pursue this further, and see how this plan is laid out in the Bible, and how YOU will fit in.
God always teaches, warns, even pleads, that man follow the way to happiness, and life everlasting. He will, at some point, give each person the knowledge of truth, and a chance to chose, and receive, that eternal life and happiness. He says in Matthew 7:7, "Seek and you shall find.". What will you find? God's kingdom! In the book of Revelation chapters 20 and 21, there is a partial description of that kingdom.
You will be able to see a city with structures and streets of pure gold, which look like transparent glass! The foundations are of precious stones: jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, saardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and anethyst, with gates made of one pearl. FANTASTIC!
This is a sure thing, because God the Father and Jesus Christ, His son, always keep Their promises. (Hebrews 13:8, James 1:17 & Malachi 3:6) It is something YOU will be able to see.
Salvation is a gift that is a matter of TIMING, and CHOICE. At the best time for you, and for God's purpose, you will be called by God Himself, given truth, and the opportunity to have everlasting life in His kingdom.
The choice is yours. To enter the kingdom you must choose to accept the calling, repent of your human ways, obey God, and believe in Jesus Christ's sacrifice. If you choose not to accept, you do not suffer forever in hell fire, but are reduced to nothing as you were before you were created.Scripture explains this in detail.
