“Salvation in no one else Except Jesus Christ”
Introduction
Introduction
If I where to write myself a letter about Heaven or Hell, what would I write? I think it might go something like this;
I believe everyone thinks about or repress’es the thought,
“Do I go to Heaven or Hell when I die?”
I believe, everyone of us has pondered the thought,”where did I come from and where do I go from here?”
For me, this life is strange, as I wander this earth, making choose’s, right or wrong one’s, accomplished goals or failed one’s, having and fullfilling dreams, loved and being loved, hated and being hated, working hard or not at all, troubled and good times, friends and enemies, rich and poor, being helped and helping others, eating plenty or wondering where my next meal will come, hoping or hopelessness, fearful or fearless, being decieved or decieving, oh my, life just seems to have no end---but it does!
I remember, as a child, just believing life goes on forever, that is, until the dark force’s began to awaken that harsh reality, “ there is death ahead.”
Death, to this day, as I live and breath, is unthinkable, to say the lease, as is birth-my mind just can’t wrap around it’s wonder!
Yet, my very first experience of this death was at a young age witnessed my grandfather in a coffin. What was more strange was he wasn’t around anymore-very strange! Like when I go to sleep, just not waking.
As I grew older, witnessing time slip away, Mom and Dad are gone, friends, even people I knew, all gone in my life time, so I know it’s real, but still seems so foreign to me.
Death, doen’t make sense to me, that is while I live and breath God’s air. I feel and see, work and play. I can feel my heart beating, fingers and toes moving. I can love and sing song’s of gladness or at time sadness-but alive I am and awake-this is all I know!
Death just doesn’t seem to fit my schedule, my plans or desire’s? How do I balance life and death while I live?
Wake, I say to myself, you fool, I say, Wake! The raw fact, death comes to us all! In fact, the reality is, that I only get to live a very, very short time to figure all this stuff out-right or wrong, good or bad. I hear Hell is not a place I want to go, but I know little about Heaven other then it’s better than Hell. Everything I know about Birth and death is what I see before my eyes, but don’t understand what happens before life or after death?
Anyway, as I look up into the endlessness of the heavens, veiwing the spectacular Sun, Moon and Stars. More grounded, as I look here on this earth the beauty of trees, the mountains, rivers and Oceans. But even more impressive the life of fish, animals, and mostly-people! People are so fearfully and wonderfully made, but so hard to figure out or trust. I think my pet dog is more trusting, easy and loving to figure out then is humans with all their complex wantings and needs.
Yet, during my life time, even with the trouble I’ve had with people good and bad, I heard of a God who sent His Son to live among us, for a time! His name is Jesus Christ. This Jesus, was God’s Son. God so loved this world that God sent His Son “to save us from hell” I didn’t know I needed saving from hell. Truthfully, I don’t know much about Heaven or Hell either, all I know is one day puff, I am alive doing my best to make sense of it all and now I hear I need saving?
This letter is for those of us who, like me, puff alive and in need of saving from hell.
The Truth “Puff”
The Truth “Puff”

The Proof “In need of Saving”
Yes, where to find truth

Yes, I am saved and know it
