Is the Bible a true and reliable guide to how we should live? The evidence is there for those with the courage to accept and act on it. Each of us is faced with a choice. Will you accept your Creator's great gift to you?
A 2004 poll conducted by Newsweek magazine reported that just
over half of Americans believe Jesus Christ will return. Fifteen percent
said they thought that event would take place soon, within their lifetime.
(In most other countries these percentages are smaller.)
If Christ were to return now, what would it mean to the average citizen
of the world? If the Judge of all mankind called for an accounting (2 Corinthians
5:10), where would you stand? In all recorded history only one
society has repented as a group when God warned of impending troubles.
That was the ancient city of Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian Empire, which
repented at the warning of Jonah (Matthew 12:41).
If nations don't mend their ways, what can individuals do? In other words,
what should you do with the information you have learned in this
booklet? If the Bible is indeed the inspired instruction of the Creator
of the universe to His created beings, what should you do?
The message is clear: No matter what others may do, you have the power
and responsibility to take personal action and seek God. The Bible is a
reliable guide to human conduct. It is God's Word to a spiritually bankrupt
humanity. It is our Maker's instruction book, telling us how we should
live.
The Scriptures have been available for millennia. People have heard the
Word of God from its pages and from the prophets. They have heard God's
exhortation to repent and obey. But, no matter who has brought the message,
no matter the medium, the result has always been the same-only a
small minority have responded.
