+We receive forgiveness of sins through his name, the name of Jesus. It is there for everyone who believes,
+for each and every person, from all nations. It is for the British, for the Americans, for the French, but
+also for the Chinese, for Africans, for Australians, for Japanese, for Koreans etc etc. It is for people from
+the middle East. It is for all faiths, for all nations, for me and for you!

+** Invitation to Everyone ...**
+The invitation for all people who fear him and do what is right, those who believe in his name, is a far
+reaching statement. There are enough countries today where you are threatened with death if you win someone
+for Jesus. Very bad things can happen to you, that applies to some Islamic countries and to communist countries
+as well. Our world is not moving towards a peaceful freedom, but only when you comply with quite strict
+rules which are far from a freedom of religious choice, you can live in peace. What type of peace is this?
+Judge it yourself ...
+The Christian message is quite strong and far reaching with many of its parts. That we can receive full
+pardon in the name of Jesus, new life, a new beginning, supported by the power of the Lord - that is a
+far reaching statement. That it is for everyone, and everyone should turn to Christ - that is another
+message which has dynamical power. This spiritual challenge brings life and conflict at the same time!
+What can we say? There is no way to avoid this challenge, to avoid the conflict with those who want to
+suppress the gospel. Clearly, the gospel is challenged from all sides - from atheists as well as from our
+Muslim friends. Jesus himself had to go this way, it is called the path of the cross. The invitation
+stands: "To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name" (Acts 10, 43)
