___________to accept Jesus while we are walking on this earth?

Jesus is an historical figure Who historically lived on the earth some 2,000 years ago. His coming was foretold perhaps 2,000 years before that. He consorted with numerous individuals while He was here as a Human for some 30 years, pointing out that His major reason for being here was to live as a Man among men before He would give His life as a substitute for those who deserved what He went through so that those who would accept his gift could receive a full pardon, not having to undergo the same eternal penalty for their poor behavior.

For those who feel so inclined, please give personal evidence of your million (or so)god(s) (after all there are some 30.000,000 in India) who love(s) you so much (th)he(y) went through that personal sacrifice so you could live in peace and harmony with him/her. It would seem that he (they) have been around long enough to determine whether you're valuable enough to reveal them (himself) selves to you with enough positive input, you're most likely able to be jumping for joy since all are close enough to death's door to know he (they) will be back shortly to share their power grab with you.

"24 Then call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by setting fire to the wood is the true God!” And all the people agreed.

25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “You go first, for there are many of you. Choose one of the bulls, and prepare it and call on the name of your god. But do not set fire to the wood.”

26 So they prepared one of the bulls and placed it on the altar. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning until noontime, shouting, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no reply of any kind. Then they danced, hobbling around the altar they had made.

27 About noontime Elijah began mocking them. “You’ll have to shout louder,” he scoffed, “for surely he is a god! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself. Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!”

Then he said, “Fill four large jars with water, and pour the water over the offering and the wood.”

34 After they had done this, he said, “Do the same thing again!” And when they were finished, he said, “Now do it a third time!” So they did as he said, 35 and the water ran around the altar and even filled the trench.

36 At the usual time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command. 37 O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.”

38 Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the trench! 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell face down on the ground and cried out, “The Lord—he is God! Yes, the Lord is God!”"

1 Kings 18 KJV

My understanding is that the Creator God isn't going to provide this type of evidence again. However He has given enough evidence in the gift of His Son, on the cross, revealing His love for us, that our decisions must be made before He comes again, for then, this below will have been proven true, and it will be too late for further evidence.

"“The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’

“But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen even if someone rises from the dead.’”"Luke 16:30-31 NLT

God cares! Jesus saves! peace

Lift Jesus up!!
