What we wish to share the most:
Before You Go. . .
Many of you sought this site for pictures or information about this
wonderful German Spitz breed of dogs, and I hope you found the
information helpful.  Some may have already accepted the greatest gift of
all, and since others may not have received the most precious sacrifice
ever offered to man, we wish to offer it to you here.

The gift is that of eternal salvation offered by the Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ.  Acts 16:31 encourages everyone to "Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ and you will be saved." John 3:16 explains that, "God loved the
world so much that He gave His uniquely born son and that whoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."  Roman 2:8-9
assures us that we can do nothing to earn our own salvation:  "For by
grace are you saved through faith, it is a gift from God, not of works lest
any man should boast." Jesus himself told the disciples in John 6:29, "This
is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."  

The issue is no longer your sins, because those were taken away by
Christ on the cross.  The issue is not all the good you can accomplish on
your own according to Romans 3:20-23 "because by the works of the law,
no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the
knowledge of sin, but now apart from the Law, the righteousness of God
has been manifested being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even
the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who
believe, there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption
which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in
His blood through faith."

The issue is not about believing in God.  The Bible says, "What do you
think of Christ?"   There are no lists of things to do on your part because
all the work has already been accomplished.  You can't make Christ Lord
because He already
is Lord.  You can't invite Him anywhere.  Since He
already accomplished our so great salvation, He has already extended the
invitation to you.  At your computer, right now, you can think, "Yeah, I
believe that."  There may not be any feelings about it at all.  Your heart
might not pound in your chest.  You might not cry great tears of faith, or
joy, or relief.  You may just be sitting there, shopping for a puppy and also
finding a Savior.  You're still the same person you were when you sat
down to search out German Spitz, but John 10:28 assures you "I give to
them eternal life and they shall never perish and no one shall snatch them
from my hand."  With faith in Christ, your eternal future is secure.  
We
hope new faith in Christ is merely the beginning of a personal relationship
with God.
