Full Story - Book (Hardcover Edition)

i am JOSIAH: The Narrative - by GW Tolley. The true life story (written in a script/screen-like style) that takes you along a journey.

* Start life with a disability and relentless bullying and no longer wish to live.

* Hit the party scene like a whirlwind, wild party lifestyle.

* Identity Theft left homeless and hungry. Life had spiraled out of control; anger and hate were all that was left. There was nothing left to live for.

* A miracle that was life-altering, and there is no going back.

* No longer the same, from abused and broken to a new life and restored—purpose from the pain.

Never underestimate the broken and discarded because they can become the fiercest warriors.

2.) QUESTION

Let me ask you a question, a crucial question. If you should die today, are you 100% certain that you are going to Heaven?  

If you should die today and stand before God, and He asked you why He should let you into His Heaven, what would you say?

ANSWER

Did you know you can be 100% certain you will go to Heaven? You CAN know, and here is how. In 1 John 5:13, the Bible says, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."

In Romans 3:10, the Bible says, "There is no one righteous, not even one." Verse 23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That means I'm a sinner, and that means you are a sinner, too. Most people do not realize the seriousness of sin. God is holy, and sin separates a sinner from God.

This verse shows how serious it is! In Romans 5:12 the Bible says, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all have sinned." The word "death" doesn't mean dying and going to the grave; it means separation from God. Until our sins are forgiven, we are separated from God on this earth, and we will be separated from God forever and ever in a place called Hell. This is the punishment for our sin.

But the story doesn't end here! In Romans 6:23, the Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." The words "eternal life" mean more than living forever; they mean to live forever in Heaven.

Notice that being saved is a gift—it's absolutely free! You can't buy it, work for it, or be good enough. It is free! It would be as if a friend went to the store and purchased you a present. They paid for, wrapped, put a bow on it, and brought it to you. They did everything for you. All you have to do is receive it. 

That is what Jesus did! He left His home in Heaven, came to earth, died on the cross, shed His blood, and paid for your sins. He did everything for you. All you have to do is receive it. Romans 5:8 says He did this for us while we were still sinners. 

Most people think they have to stop doing everything bad before God will save them. But God loves us as sinners, and Jesus died for us. When Jesus died for you, He made it possible for you to have forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God. However, just because Jesus died for you does not automatically save you. 

The following are Yes or No answers. You must ask Jesus to forgive your sins.

1.) Now, do you admit that you are a sinner?

2.) Do you understand that sin separates you from God?

3.) Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you?

4.) Would you like to be forgiven of all your sins and know 100% you are going to Heaven? 

If YES, then this is what you need to do.

In Romans 10:9-13 the Bible tells us that if you call upon the name of the Lord, you will be saved. Then, according to the Bible, if you ask Jesus into your heart right now, He will save you forever! Wouldn't you like to do this? If you trust Jesus to take you to Heaven when you die, pray this prayer.

"Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins, and God raised You from the dead. Forgive me of all my sins. Come into my heart today. Give me a home in Heaven when I die. Help me to obey You. I mean this prayer with all my heart!"

Romans 10:13 says, "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 

According to the Bible, if you have done this, you are saved—and if you were to die today, you would go to Heaven!  

I also encourage you to: 1) Read the Bible to grow in your faith—maybe start with the first four books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. To help you to learn more about the Bible, I suggest you also go to www.BibleHub.com. 2) Pray to God—He cares for you. Jesus gives an example of how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13. 3) Find a Bible-based church—one that not only teaches the Bible but will help you to grow in your faith. 4) Be baptized (Matthew 28:19-20)

4.) QUESTION

Who is the Shepard?

ANSWER

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
