Romans
6:23 says
“For
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
GOD REALLY LOVES YOU AND DOESN'T
WANT YOU TO PERISH (BE LOST).
God's offer of Salvation is Free - It's a Gift! The choice is yours to either accept it or reject it.
Where
you spend eternity will be determined by the choice you make while
you are still capable of doing so. We want you to know the way so
you can make the right choice. Please read on.
WHAT
IS ETERNITY?
Eternity
is an Endless Past and a Never Ending Future. You may live 70 years
or more here on earth but compared to eternity, that would be like
comparing the width of a human hair to 100 million times the distance
from the earth to the sun and even then, you would be just beginning.
WHAT
IS HEAVEN?
Heaven
is the place where God and His angels dwell and is the future home of
all those who choose eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ as their
Savior and Lord.
Heaven
is an indescribable paradise with abundance beyond anything we can
think or imagine. There are beautiful mansions there with no thieves
to break in or steal.
There
are walls made of precious stones, streets of pure gold, gates of
pearl, a crystal sea, a crystal clear river, and the Tree Of Life
bearing 12 crops of fruit.
All
residents will have imperishable bodies and there will be no
disappointments, hurts, tears, sorrow, death, mourning, crying or
pain. All things will be made new and there will only be peace,
love, joy, and happiness there.
ISN'T THIS WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEND ETERNITY?
WHAT
IS HELL?
Hell
is the place created by God for the devil and the fallen angels
(demons) and is the future home of all those who choose not to accept
Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Hell
is a horrible place where there is eternal punishment such as the
world has never seen or heard.
Hell
is a
place where the fire is never quenched and the worm never dies and
includes the Lake of Fire, the Abyss, and the Bottomless Pit.
All
who go there will be punished with never ending suffering, torment,
grief, despair, pain, anguish, agony, remorse, and complete
hopelessness.
YOU
DON'T WANT TO GO THERE!
Heaven
Or Hell? Do you know where you're going? Are you absolutely
sure where you will spend eternity? Like us, we pray that you will
choose to make Heaven your eternal home.
Genesis 2:7 says "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Remember, your very breath belongs to God and He can take it away from you at any time.
Think on this. God doesn't promise us a tomorrow or even the rest of today.
Think on this. God doesn't promise us a tomorrow or even the rest of today.
YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
Choose
you this day whom you will serve. Do it now while you still have the breath of life and are in your right mind. After that, it will be too late and you will have lost your opportunity to choose Heaven. There is no
Half-Way House - Hell will
be
your eternal home!
In
The
Holy Bible (God's
Word), Jesus clearly states that He is the only
way into Heaven. In John 14:6, Jesus
says
“I
am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.”
This
is one of the most basic and important passages in the Bible. This
clearly states that we can only get to God the Father who is in
Heaven through Jesus Christ His Son. When we accept Jesus Christ as
our Savior and Lord, we are accepted by God the Father in Heaven.
Many
will argue that this way is too narrow and there must be other ways.
No - the Bible clearly states that Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven.
There
is no other way!
A SURE WAY TO HEAVEN!
But,
In reality, this way is wide enough for everyone on earth, if they
choose to accept it. Instead of worrying about how limited it sounds
to have only one way to Heaven, we all should be thanking God for
providing such a sure way to get there.
Philippians
2:9-11
says “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him
the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.”
John
3:16-18 says
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John
3:17-18 says
“For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to
save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not
condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only
Son.”
Jesus
came down from Heaven, was born of a virgin, lived as a man, was
ridiculed, beaten and persecuted.
JESUS VOLUNTARILY DIED JUST FOR YOU!
Jesus
hung naked by the side of the road, shed His blood, and voluntarily
died a horrible death on the cross just so all of our sins could be
forgiven and we could be saved.
3
days later, Jesus rose from the dead and 40 days after that, He
ascended back into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father
to act as our mediator. Hallelujah!
Believing
in Jesus is your only way to Heaven, because He alone died for your
sins. If you accept Jesus, He will forgive all
your past, present, and future sins and give you a brand
new life.
YOUR
SALVATION WILL
BE GUARANTEED!
But,
if you reject Jesus, you will Burn
in Hell
for Eternity. What
a terrible fate this would be!
But
there is hope! No matter who or what you are, God loves you and
wants the best for you. However, through self effort, you can't be
good
enough,
work
hard enough,
or give
enough
to get into Heaven on your own! Your Salvation is strictly a Free
Gift from
God. But, you must ask for it and accept it.
Romans
3:23
says
“For
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
God
created you and He doesn't want you to perish. 2
Peter 3:9 says
“The
Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.”
But,
He cannot bring you into Heaven if you are covered with sin.
GOD DOESN'T SEE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF SIN.
TO
GOD, SIN IS SIN!
To
God, if you tell a little white lie, you are just as guilty as a mass murderer.
Your
sins separate you from God, your Creator, but no sin is too great for
God to forgive if you ask Him.
If
your life is empty and without meaning; if you feel a void deep down
inside that nothing seems to satisfy; if your situation seems
hopeless (i.e. Failed relationships; money problems; drug, alcohol,
or tobacco addiction; mental or physical illness; incarceration;
etc.); if you have tried everything you know and nothing has worked;
Try Jesus. He is
the Answer.
God
is
offering you the Free Gift of mercy and forgiveness now, but later,
promising judgment. Please don't wait to make your choice.
Romans
10:9-10
says “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Romans
10:11-13
says,
“Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For
there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is
Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
These
verses
clearly say that if you call upon the name of the Lord Jesus, you
will be saved.
IMPORTANT: DON'T BE DECEIVED!
You are not saved just because you attend a church or have joined a church. You can only be saved by asking Jesus to forgive you of all your sins and accept Him as your Savior.
Right this minute, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Why don't you let Him in. You will never regret it!
Right this minute, Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Why don't you let Him in. You will never regret it!
RIGHT NOW, AND FROM YOUR HEART (MEAN IT),
PRAY THE FOLLOWING PRAYER.
Dear God In Heaven…
I come to you in the name of Jesus. I confess that I am a sinner and I’m sorry for my sins, the way I’ve lived, and the things I’ve done.
Please forgive me and cleanse me with your precious blood from all unrighteousness.
With my mouth, I confess the Lord Jesus. In my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and He is alive.
This very moment, I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and I make Him the Lord of my life.
And according to Your Word, which cannot lie, I’m washed, I’m cleansed, I’m forgiven, and I am saved.
Praise God in Jesus name!
If
you have just prayed this prayer and meant it from your heart, Praise
the Lord!
You
are a brand new person inside and you are not the same anymore. Your
new life has just begun!
Congratulations
and welcome to the Family of God!
YOU
ARE NOW AN ADOPTED CHILD
OF THE KING!
2
Corinthians 5:17 says
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The
old has gone, the new is here!”
Romans
8:16-17 says
“The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s
children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God
and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in
order that we may also share in his glory.”
Ephesians
1:4-6 says
“For
he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and
blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to
sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and
will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given
us in the One he loves.”
To
confirm your Salvation, immediately tell someone that you have just
accepted Jesus as your Savior.
YOUR SPIRITUAL FOOD!
And,
as soon as possible, acquire a Bible and read it Every Day. It's
your Spiritual Food - You need this just as much as you need physical
food!
Luke 14:15 says "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God."
We recommend that you begin your Bible reading with the Gospel of John. This Gospel spells out very clearly the basics of the faith and is the easiest to understand. It also proves who Jesus is and what is necessary for conversion.
We recommend that you begin your Bible reading with the Gospel of John. This Gospel spells out very clearly the basics of the faith and is the easiest to understand. It also proves who Jesus is and what is necessary for conversion.
Then,
read the Book
Of Romans.
Here you will learn the following crucial concepts:
Election:
God chose you for a specific purpose of destiny. Romans
9:10-13
Justification:
God's act of declaring you “not guilty” for your sins. Romans
4:25, 5:18
Propitiation:
God's removal of your punishment for sin through the perfect
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Romans
3:25
Redemption:
Jesus Christ has paid the price so you can go free. The price of
sin is death; Jesus paid the full price for your redemption.
Sanctification:
How you become more and more like Jesus through the work of the Holy
Spirit. Romans
5:2; 15,16
Glorification:
After death, how you become like Christ. Romans
8:18, 19, 30
Important:
There
are many Bible Versions available so, if you can, select a Study
Bible that is easy for
you
to read and understand and contains commentary notes that further
explain what is taking place in the Scripture Verses you are reading
(i.e. Who, What, When, Where, and Why).
Then, study your Bible regularly to learn about God's Plan and
Purpose for your life.
Finally,
locate and regularly attend a Bible Believing, Bible Teaching Church
or Assembly where you can be taught and fed the Word, be baptized, be
loved and encouraged, and grow in your new Christian Walk with the
Lord.
THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING BAPTIZED.
In
Matthew 28:19-20
Jesus said “Therefore
go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them
to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Colossians
2:12 says
“having
been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with
him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the
dead.”
Romans
6:4
says “We
were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order
that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of
the Father, we too may live a new life.”
As
a new believer in Jesus Christ, you should desire to be baptized
because baptism
illustrates your identification with Christ’s death, burial, and
resurrection.
Christian
baptism is an act of obedience to the Lord after
salvation.
Although baptism is closely associated with salvation, it is not a
requirement to be saved.
But,
by being baptized, you are making a public
profession of the inward change in your heart.
Your
submersion in the water represents your death to sin and your
emerging from the water represents your cleansed, holy life that
follows your salvation.
So,
as soon as possible, be baptized.
YOU'LL BE VERY GLAD YOU DID!
After
reading and digesting this, if you feel led to do so, please pass it
on so that another soul might be won. Thanks and may God continue to
richly bless you.
