Jesus forgive them

Christians are being persecuted everywhere just because they believe in God. By becoming religious, we obey God's commandment in the bible. Just obeying, and trying to live a Holy life. They think by obeying God's commandments, they can get into heaven, that they think that's how salvation works.

Salvation was given to us by Jesus, when we come to Jesus and say "Then he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' "and "Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:42-43). It's given when we ask. He who ask will be given. Jesus said in Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." When we ask for salvation, we pray to God.

Jesus died in the cross so that there's a way we can access God now. We can talk to God directly because of what Jesus did. God sent His one and only son to die for us on the cross so that we may know His name. God did it to show His love for us. He wanted to show us that He's willing to die for us, so many times. I bet you our lovers won't always be willing to die for us, but God is greater than any person!

I know Jesus existed because history speaks of Him. In the Roman's history, they talk about how there's a guy going around and healing, casting out demons, and all of that. He also exists in other histories rather than just the Romans.

Christians are being persecuted by other people. I encourage you, they don't hate you. When they curse you, beat you up, and do harmful things to you, they are just trying to beat God up. God said, when you are cursed for my name, you are blessed. When you are persecuted in my name you are blessed. Have a good attitude, whenever they make fun of us because we're trying to spread Jesus, they're just blessing us. Jesus, forgive these people.
