A Journey Toward Healing and Heaven: A Day at the Pioneer Village

Saturday, October 4, 2008

We enjoyed the crisp autumn weather and visited a pioneer village today. Some photographs for you to enjoy.....

To my surprise, we found a covered bridge at the village.

Some of these sheep had been sheared and appeared quite chilly in the early morning temperatures.

A covered wagon ...... imagine crossing the mountains in these vehicles.

The village blacksmith at work.

One of the many cabins dating back to the 1800's.

A New Beginning: What Must I Do To Be Saved?

This is the most important question anyone will ever ask. First, you must realize that you are lost. When Adam and Eve committed the first sin, man broke relationship with God. From this time forward, everyone was born with a sinful nature. So it does not matter how good of a person you are, you are lost. The Bible says in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Secondly, you must realize that the consequence of sin is death. Not just a physical death, but a spiritual death, too. The Bible says in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Next, you must realize that God loves YOU so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus, to die and pay the price for your sins. You must openly accept the free gift from God to confirm your believe in Jesus by openly confessing your faith in Jesus. The Bible says in I John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." In order to be promised eternal live in Heaven, you must believe these things and confess them with your mouth.
