An Excuse to Be Born

Ruth Kramer is the mother of three wonderful children and the grandmother of four even more wonderful, talented, handsome grandchildren. She lives with Ben, her husband of 55 years, in what you might call a suburb of Columbus, OH. She and her whole family came to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior at a beautiful place in upstate New York called Word of Life. Ruth is currently battling uterine cancer. She knows the Lord is in control and has so much faith that God will come of her struggles. She has a good church, a wonderful Bible study plus a caring family. She knows the Lord will bless her in all he allows to come to pass in her life. *** An excuse to be born points out the truth that everyone has a right to life, whether born or unborn. The book emphasizes the fact that God is in control and his love is never-ending. Our country and even our world have given wing to the idea of the sanctity of life. What could we possibly do to earn our salvation? There is only one thing we must do and Jesus already did it, by dying on that horrible cross when he paid for our sins. We must believe and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, as he alone can give us the grace of forgiveness for our sins, we then can live with him in heaven eternally when we die. It is a free gift but only ours if we receive it. That free gift is just waiting to be believed, received, forgiveness and salvation are ours only when we truly believe and receive it into our hearts. Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the father but thru me." John 14:16
