FACING
THE
FACTS
Photo Credit: IStockphoto.com
Sam had just graduated from university and had commenced his
career as a school-teacher. He was engaged to be married; and
he was a promising player on one of the countrys leading rugby
teams. The future looked very bright.
Then he met Fred, a man who was different from anyone he
had met before. They had many conversations together, and
during those talks, and over a period of time, Fred presented
Sam with the FACTS which have been outlined in this booklet.
Most of these FACTS were quite new to Sam. He did not accept
them, or believe them; but instead spent many hours arguing
against them. But the more he argued and disputed the more
uneasy he became. Was it possible that these FACTS were true?
He decided to read right through the New Testament for himself,
and to ask God to show him clearly if what was outlined in these
FACTS was true. Over a period of time he read the whole New
Testament twice. God spoke to his heart and convinced him that
these were FACTS, that they were true and he needed to do
something about it.
As a result Sam knelt beside his bed one evening and prayed a
prayer similar to the one at the top of the previous page. That
prayer was answered by God, all his sin was forgiven and he
received eternal life. He started a new life which proved to be
fulfilling, worthwhile and happy for many years to come- with the
special added bonus of Heaven to come at the end of it.
