Salvation is all about letting yourself get wrapped up in the love of God.

God created us so He could be in relationship with us (Genesis 1:26 and 27).

Unfortunately we blew it (Genesis 3).

To bring us back into releationship God sent his Son Jesus (or Yeshua in Hebrew): John 3:16.

Jesus lived a perfect life, so when he was crucified he became the perfect and final sacrificial Lamb. He took on our sin so that it would no longer keep us from God (II Corinthians 5:21).

All you have to do is trust Jesus (Yeshua) to do this for you (Romans 10:9-13).

You can do this right now! Have the kind of LIFE that's been bouncing me around the stage and around the world. Pray this prayer:

Dear Jesus (Yeshua),
Thank you for loving me. Forgive me of all my sins, everything I've ever done to let you down. Cover them for me. Become Lord of my life and help me to live for you.
Amen.

If you prayed that prayer sincerely you can have assurance that you will have life more abundant while living on the earth and life eternal in Heaven. There's no magic to the prayer that's here. It's about trusting Jesus (Yeshua) as lord of your life: trusting that He knows what's best for you because he created you. It's about trusting Him to cover you when you mess up.

Now I encourage you to get plugged into a local Christ-centered, Bible-believing church, where you can grow in your relationship. If you're in the New York City area I keep a list at www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/NYC. If not, feel free to contact me through the form at the bottom of our Contact page. I've performed at some great churches around the world. There's a good chance I know a good one near you.

I'd love to know if you prayed to give your life to the Lord. Please let me know through the form at the bottom of our Contact page.

If you're not ready to pray that kind of prayer and really mean it, read through the Book of John three times, asking the Lord to speak to you through it. Ravi Zacharias recommended that when he and Abdu Murray were addressing students at Yale University. You can hear their talks and answers to skeptical students' questions here.

There are many reasons to trust that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 prophecies from the Old Testament. All of Jesus' disciples were executed because of their faith. John was the only one to die a natural death, but according to Tertullian he was boiled in oil because of his faith without being harmed, and everyone in the Coliseum became a Christian that day.

There's plenty of historical evidence to support things we read in Scripture. There is an extraordinary amount of extra-biblical evidence of much that was written in Scripture. I've seen the fallen walls of Jericho, the Pilate Stone (which confirms Pilate was governor of Judea when Jesus was crucified). I've been in the oldest church on earth, built over The Manger within 100 years of Jesus' birth. So it was the grandchildren of folks who were there who said, "This was the place." Read and watch The Case for Christ for more. This post has links to first hand descriptions of the sky going black at the Crucifixion.

That being said, people with presuppositions can look at history and archeology and twist it to support their biases. When the Dead Sea Scrolls came to New York City there was an audio guide that said the many idols found in Jewish homes were evidence that the Jewish faith evolved from pluralism to monotheism, but if you open the Word you'll see many prohibitions against idols, such as Leviticus 26:1, and the Lord urging the people to get rid of the idols that they possessed, as in Ezekiel 14:1-5.

Stephen J. Bennett, Professor of Bible and Theology at Nyack College, said:

A woman once told my bride Joyce that her changed life was the first miracle the woman had ever seen. Here's  Joyce's testimony, her story of how she came to put her trust in Jesus Christ. You can hear her tell it in Frankfurt with German translation by clicking here. Here are more testimonies.

Here's another way to look at this: You can have peace with God.

Facts to show the Resurrection is not fiction:

• In Israel we encountered the Druze. Their male leaders wear baggy pants in case they give birth to the messiah.
• In Singapore there was a Hindu worship practice that was so gruesome it's illegal in India: The practitioners carry a metal home for their god over their heads with hooks digging into their flesh.
• We have a friend, Kara M, who partnered in ministry with a Christian couple in India who adopt the children who are conceived when men "worship" their goddess with temple prostitutes. Hear her story by clicking here.
• Some Hindus worship rats.
• Animists worship everything.
• When I was working on my master's thesis, a gentleman in the drug rehabilitation center, where I was teaching sociodrama, told me that his higher power was Mickey Mouse.
• After performing a piece that addressed witch doctors while we were in Africa we were told many there still go to witch doctors even after becoming Christians.
