Good News

Final Question

A young man named Saul stood by and watched as a crowd stoned Stephen He went on to be a major persecutor of Christians for a number of years One day he was on his way to Damascus , he was blinded by a light and God spoke to him . He was converted to Christianity and changed his name to Paul . He made up for his persecution of Christians by telling the good news ' all over the region . What is the good news ? The good news is that Jesus

is the son of God . He was sent to earth to save the people from their sins . Those who accept him as their savior will have eternal life in Heaven . He knew it was true , because God himself told him it was in the blinding light . The difference it should make in the lives of people in modern society means people should live according to the words God has provided for people to live by

Paul spent years trying to save people from their sin once he 'd learned the truth . He was taught about God and Jesus . He taught many to accept the gift of eternal life through the acceptance of Jesus Then he wrote many books of the Bible to teach people how to live their lives . He wrote basic instructions for Christians to follow to be an example for God . God sent his son to earth for the sole purpose of saving his creation (man ) from their sins . He would not choose for anyone to be lost , but he provides humans the opportunity to make the choice for themselves . The life people live on earth is short , for most only about eighty years then there are two possible places to go . The best choice obviously is the one without eternal torture . When a person goes to Heaven it will feel like home (familiar , comfortable (Alcorn 1999

Paul learned about God through God himself . God spoke to Paul through the light on the road . He then blinded him and gave him specific instructions on what to do . Paul realized he had been wrong and needed to follow the instructions , because he did this he was not only healed of the blindness , but he received the gift of eternal life . He had no reason to doubt this and neither should those he taught or those still being taught . Paul taught of God 's love for his people and his forgiveness . He also taught people to continue sharing the good news An additional reason to believe the news is true is the hundreds of promises from the Bible , many of which have already been fulfilled and although people fail to keep their promises , God does not (LaHaye and Jenkins , 2003 ) In to convince others the news is true , though , his people need to change the way they live in to set an example Just as Saul changed his name to Paul and turned from persecuting Christians...
