Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh. He came two thousand years ago as a baby, born of a virgin. This meant that He did not have an earthly father; if he did, He would have been born with the same sinful nature that you and I were born with, and would have been in need of a Savior also. He created the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. He came to seek and to save us sinners. The sad thing is that most ignore Him and flat out reject Him. He offers to all who receive Him, and obey Him, eternal life which is far beyond what you and I can imagine. The alternative is eternity without God. The Bible calls it a place where there is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth; eternity in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). Hell is also referred to as being cast out into outer darkness. That is what you choose if you continue to reject Jesus. Jesus is still seeking to save you, but one day when He returns at the second advent, He will come as Judge. It will be too late then to change your mind. He gives all of us a choice to receive Him, (John 1:12; 3:16). Make the right choice. God bless.
