Original English Subtitles: --- The plan of God for you Life (in less that 4 minutes) --- The Bible is very clear in respect to the plan of God for our life --- God affirms that: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" --- if God is promising this life to the full, --- then, why is it, that so many people in the world?‚ --- are not experimenting this life to the full that the Scripture is promissing?! --- because‚Ķ"everyone of us have sinned, and our sins separates us from the glory of God" --- Does "Everyone" includes me? --- Of course it does includes me! --- Does "Everyone" includes you? --- Of course it includes you too! --- this is pretty easy to explain through an illustration: --- let us imagine that here is 'man' (drawing) --- and here is God (drawing) --- but, man is a sinner, and God is holy --- our sin separates us from God (drawing) --- now, man has always tried to reach God --- and to reach this "life to the full" that we are mentioning through "religion" --- making "bridges" through Philosophy --- through "good deeds" --- or even through "money" --- but any of these supposed 'bridges' is not enough to reach God --- not even the 'good deeds', it is important to notice that. --- therefore, based on this problem, God gives us a solution: --- the Bible affirms that Christ died in our place --- God has already crossed that abysm that was separating us from Him, --- when He send his Son Jesus to die for our sins --- the Bible affirms that: --- "Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" --- He did not said, "i am one of the ways" --- He said i am "The way" and "only" through me. --- now... with a very good reason, you can tell me that: --- "I already knew all of this since I was little!!" --- Let me give you an example: --- Imagine a medic saying to a patient : --- - "look, this medicine is the one that is going --- to heal you from that deadly-sickness you have"- --- then, me as the patient; I look at it, --- I analyze it, and then I say: --- --" ho! yes! effectively, I know this medicine will cure me from the deadly-sickness I have!"-- very good!. Then i put it on the table, and keep it there. --- Will I be healed? Just like that? --- So just like that I will not die? --- Of course I am going to die anyway! --- if i only know that this is going to --- heal me but i do not swallow it! I need to swallow it! --- It is the same thing with God --- it is not enough to know it intellectually, --- you need to swallow it, receive it!. --- with a medicine it is easy; you literally swallow it. --- but, how do you 'swallow' that gift from God? --- thought faith! --- the Bible affirms that "If you confess --- with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," --- and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, --- you will be saved!" --- Go to God and say to Him personally: --- Lord, I recognize I am a sinner, and I do need you --- I know that I can not be saved through my good-deeds, --- I do believe that you died on my place for my sins, --- I do believe that you raised from the dead, --- and Lord, I open the door of my life, and --- I receive you as my Lord and Savior! --- How can you be sure that God will listen to you? --- because there is a promise in the Scriptures: --- Jesus says: Here I am!
