Are you Going To
heaven?
The
Truth is: Without Divine intervention,
we are ineligible for Heaven.
The Bible says:
-
"For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
-
"As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10
-
"For the wages of sin is death;"
Romans 6:23a
-
"But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire
and brimstone:" Revelation 21:8
So you see - you are not alone. The entire Human
race from beginning to end is subject to the wages of sin and death.
Oh but I work for the Church ...
There is no amount of good works we can do to save
ourselves from being eternally separated from God. Ephesians 2:8-9
says:
"For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works,
lest any man should boast."
WHAT DO I DO?
Well, to be separated from God forever, simply do
nothing. To ignore or reject God's Son Jesus - will keep you
out of Heaven and the only alternative to Heaven is Eternal Torment
in the Lake of Fire (Ref., Revelation 20:15, 2 Thes. 1:7-9). Look
at what Jesus Himself said about salvation:
"He that believeth on him (meaning God The
Father through Jesus The Son) is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18
So HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS!
In order that you might be reconciled to God -
He has provided a simple and free way to do so through God's only
son Jesus. Because a blood sacrifice was needed to pay for our
sins, Jesus came so that He might become that sacrifice. (Ref., John
10:15-17) Jesus was nailed to a Roman cross to shed His blood
in payment for your sins and mine. Then three days after His
death, He rose from the dead, validating once and for all His
qualification to be our only Savior. Placing your complete trust in
Jesus' death, burial and resurrection is God's one and only means of
reaching Heaven. Jesus said
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:, no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
The Bible tells us:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved." John 3:16 & 17
HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
The Bible says:
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
This is a free gift from God because He loves
you.
"but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23b
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13
Are you ready to believe right now? If so,
simply tell God what he asked you to confess. If you like, you
could use a prayer similar to this one:
"Dear God, I admit to you that I am a sinner and I know I cannot do
anything to earn my way to Heaven. I truly believe that Jesus
died on the cross, was buried and rose from the grave. I put
my faith in His sacrifice to pay for my sin in full. Right now, I
ask you to come into my heart and to save me through the blood of
Jesus". I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.
Did you make a decision for Christ? Please
tell us a bout it.
