Docs anyone today in the world we live in consider theniselves te be heathen? Webster defines beathen as: "A pagan, idolater, an irreligieus person." I dont think anyone would wanîte put thcmselves, in that category, would Uiey? I don't believe that anyone would want te bc known as a pagan, (one with ne (Christian) religieus beliefs) do Christian rellgious beliefs) do you? Everyonc thinks Uiey are religieus and mes: of them are. (Religion is net Christianity) How about idolatry. Do you want te be known as-one wbo werships idols? How can an idol answer prayer? Prayer is answered by Ged threugh faith in His son Jesus Christ. Jesus paid a debt Uiat we owed. That debt was sin. Jesus bled and dicd on Uic cross t to remove the debt of sin from our lives. We could net and cannot remove that debt ourselves, it cas only be rcmoved by the shcdding of the Blood of Jesus. It was donc once and for cveryoe. V~If you owced a debt and sommoe offered you the rnoney to pay it and you refused the offer you'd stili owe the debt right? It's thc same with the debt that Jesus paid for you, if you dont1 accept thc offer He has given you, you are sti in.debt (sin). Everyone bas a God-given conscience that indicates what is right, and wams tbcm of what is wrong. If the heathen are flot lost then God sent Jesus to be a Sin offering in vain. If Uic heathen are flot lost God did flot need for Jesus to dieon Uic cross, that would have been really ludicrous. God does flot make mistakes, everyone needed an offering-for their sin debt. Jesus is that offering. Bible Study, Tucsday 7:30 p.m. 983-5962. Comments or Questions, Write, Box 179, Orono, Total Christian Television, Channel 49 Buffalo.
