For English I had to write an essay and this was the instructions: Write a letter to a fake friend explaining the Christian Faith and why my friend needs to become a Christian. And once I read it to my mom she said I had to post it. So here it is.
Dear Friend,
So I have this thing in me called the Christian Faith. I believe in an all knowing God who created everything and is everything. He helps me in my times of need and is there anytime I just want to talk.
With this Christian Faith I believe that God sent His only son Jesus down to the earth He created to take our sins from us, put them on Himself, and die a horrible death just so we will be able to live with Him in Heaven rather than in Hell with Satan. Satan is the Devil. He was God's most beautiful Angel, but he wanted power and wanted to be God. God was then displeased with Satan and banished him from Heaven.
Jesus needed to go down to Hell so He could get the key and lock the gates of Hell for us, but He was made without sin, so God sent his only son to be born and to die on earth for our sins.
When Jesus took our sins, He didn't just die on the cross, He was beaten gruesomely, had a crown of thorns shoved on His head before He had to carry His cross across town to the Mountain of Golgotha. When they got to the Mountain, Jesus was nailed by His hands and feet to the cross that stood upright.
But in the end He is coming back for us, to take us up to Heaven when Satan comes to get the sinners that didn't repent.
So, what I am trying to say is, let me share my faith with you, let us become brothers and sisters in Christ, because God is our Abba Father. Join me in my journey to becoming Christ like, to our Heavenly home. God is waiting for you. He is looking down on you ready to have a celebration when you ask Him into your heart.
You must:
Admit that you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness.
Believe that He is Lord and that He died and rose again for you.
Confess that He is Lord and Savior.
Once you take those steps, God and His Angels are rejoicing over you. You are now blessed by the blood of Jesus.
I am happy to have you in my Spiritual family.
Love Your Friend,
XOXO
