Poruka Hrvatima (Gospel to Croatians)
I woke up early August 1st morning with this thought in my mind, share gospel with Croatia. I didn’t want to get out of bed so early (4:20am), so I decided to write down the name of the country, but then I couldn’t sleep.
To be honest, I wasn’t even sure there is such a country in modern times. Did some research and apparently it’s Dalmatia & Illirycum mentioned in the Bible where Paul went and later Titus.

Bible is the true word of God, in this letter, I do not have the space to prove the authenticity and authority of the Bible, but you can pick up a Josh McDowell book on the topic. There are two issues I would like to focus on; original sin, which is Adam & Eve rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden and the sinful nature that passed onto the future generations and our personal sins. Someone has to pay the fine, Bible says that the sentence for sin is eternal death, not non-existence, but separation from God, which means eternity in Hell. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, stepped into this world, lived on this earth, lived a perfect life, offered Himself on the cross instead of us and was raised from the dead on the third day. He took our punishment. So, what do we do to have our sins forgiven?
Salvation is a free gift, a gift has to be received. It’s a conscious decision on the part of the decision maker to repent of our sins and to become a follower of Christ. Being born in a Christian home doesn’t make you a Christian. Following some rituals or going to church doesn’t make you Christian either. It’s simple – REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TRUSTING IN THE LORD JESUS, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER and RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT as written in Acts 2:38.
If you are an atheist, please consider my request, please do me favor as you would do for a stranger in need. Please give the gospel a try, with a sincere heart, ask God to reveal Himself to you. The best place to find Him is in His word, the Bible – download a YouVersion app and read an easy to understand translation, like NLT or NIV. Start reading from the gospel of Mark. Before you read, ask God to open your heart and mind to understand the scripture/Bible.
If you are a JW or Mormon, I humbly request you to read the Bible, not the Watch Tower version or the Book of Mormon. Your understanding of who Jesus is determines your eternity, please do not let anyone deceive you. Pray earnestly for God to show you the truth.
If you are a Muslim, people may have you believe that we serve the same Abrahamic God, it is NOT true. My dear friends, Allah and YAHWEH are not the same God. The God of the Bible is YAHWEH; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of the Jews. We, as Christians, believe in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua. Please, I beg you, pray to God Almighty, with a sincere heart, to reveal you the truth. Get hold of a Bible or Bible App, it contains the Torah, Zaboor and Injeel and start reading. God is mighty enough to protect His word and it cannot be changed or altered by Jews or Christians.
If you are a Jew, please please, please read the Tanakh. Do not let anyone keep you from reading Isaiah 53, Psalms 22 or Daniel 7. I know you would hate me for saying this, but Yeshua Ben David is the Messiah. The Christian Bible, which has the entire Tanakh and the gospels are Jewish writings, it is as Jewish as it can get. The Masiach is going to come back soon, but not for salvation but for judgement, before His return you want to get yourself right. Bible is not a Catholic book.
If you are a Christian, I have a few questions for you – are you truly born again? When people see you, do they really see Christ? We may be the only Bible some people will ever read. Do you have any connection with the Lord? Do you read the scripture and spend time in prayer? Do you have connection with the Lord’s people, do you attend a local church? Many people have been hurt in church, one person displaying the character of Christ can make a difference.
The intension of this letter is not to belittle or upset anyone. The Bible says that unless you are born again, you will not enter the Kingdom of God. Those who are not born again are eternally separated from God, that separation is Hell. Hell is a literal place of suffering for all eternity, described as the lake of fire where worms do not die. It deeply troubles me, I do not want anyone to go there. God does not want anyone to go there either, but God does not force anyone to go to heaven. We have been given freewill. We can choose to accept the gift of Salvation or we can reject it. I beg you, urge you, request you; please do not reject the gift of Salvation.
