God’s Promise to His Believers

Even though an Atheist believes that God does not exist and there is no eternal life for a non-believer. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will give you eternal life. because As a believer, you must trust in God by faith, through salvation, Romans 10:9 ESV states, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Jesus who is the Son of God according to the Bible. He came to Earth 2,000 years ago and was from the town of Nazareth which they now call Israel. Religions today try to criticize and disclaim who Jesus is, claiming He was only a historically significant figure who mattered to the church but not the son of God (Simpson 2015). Jesus came to Earth to save the world and preach the good news of the kingdom of God "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:17, Luke 19:10). Jesus came to Earth to save all of mankind and die on the cross for all of our sins, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10). Had Jesus not come to Earth to save man, there would be hope for mankind, nor would there be eternal life with God, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).

One cannot get to heaven by good works or status they achieved while on Earth. “People consciously try to give meaning and significance to life-challenges they encounter. He goes on to state that Religion is one of the most important sources of meaning, and serves as a template for interpretation of human life and events (Woźniak 2015).

This allows individuals to make choices, Atheism can be one of those choices where a person denies God and His existence. Religion can also be classified as a pursuit or interest someone finds to be of importance. It does not necessarily mean to have a belief in a god or worship. Religion can provide social resources to help enhance coping situations (Woźniak 2015). Religion cannot promise life after death. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Others should see Christians by the love they share and give to everyone around them and forgiveness should also be present in those

In addition, this was all planned by God for Jesus to deliver salvation to the earth. God didn’t kill us for all the sinful acts that we committed but he justified us.…
