The letter came out of nowhere to our mailbox. I don't know her and her name is not familiar, yet she wrote a personal letter introducing me to the Jehovah's Witness religion. Maybe she will write again.
Here is my response:
Dear...,
It is interesting that you sent this letter, handwritten. Kind of rare now days.
“For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved.
“He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God." (John 3:16-18)
Often, I find that “doing good works” is what people hope will get them to heaven. Then, that means, we can say to God, The Judge, on Judgment Day, “Look what I did.” But: "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:5)
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." (Mark 1:14,15)
Then signed my name...
This seemed to be an opportunity to "preach the Gospel" ...maybe she will respond.
