re: My testimony... I pray this will speak to someone.

Great word. Humans are created in the Image of God with the possibility of knowing Him. This differentiates us from the rest of creation. We are also eternal beings though we have a beginning. Jesus Christ came to restore fallen humanity to fellowship with God. The validity of the gospel is based on Christ's resurrection. This was what was preached in the book of Acts and elsewhere in the New Testament. All humanity will be resurrected, and each person will give an account of his or her life before God. Some will be judged by their works, and others, because they have surrendered to Christ, will be judged by Christ's work on the cross because He paid the penalty for our sin. Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost.
