A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS WROTE TO ME; I WROTE BACK TO HER

 

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.

 Yes, I have several Bibles…as our children grew up, we read the Bible together with them every day.  Now as seniors, my husband and I have continued, but the difference is:  Now we have time to discuss it, think it through and internalize the message of Scripture more thoroughly.  I am certain of eternal life!

 "Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)

 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

“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) 

 "And there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

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.
