Would you like to know if
you were to die today, you would go to Heaven? I John 5:13 says You Can!
FIRST, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.
(Romans 3:23), "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
No one is perfect. No one has lived up to God's perfect standard. We have all dared to break God’s law.
SECOND, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT AS A SINNER YOU OWE
A PENALTY.
(Romans 6:23), "For the wages of sin is death...."
If we pay what we owe as sinners, we must spend an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell). THIRD, YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS
ALREADY PAID YOUR SIN DEBT.
Christ was not a sinner, and the Bible teaches that because God loved us so much, He took all of our sin and placed
it on Christ. While Christ was bearing all of our sins in His own body, God punished Him in our place to pay the
debt we owe. This is not something God promised to do. It is something God has already done. (John 3:16), "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." FOURTH, YOU MUST ACCEPT BY FAITH WHAT JESUS
CHRIST DID FOR YOU. (John 3:36), "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the
Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." In this verse, Jesus divides the world into two groups: those who are believing and
those who are not believing on the Son. Those who believe have everlasting life, and those
who believe not shall not see life. The word believe means to trust, to depend on, to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
means that you accept the fact that you are a sinner, that as a sinner you owe the sin penalty, and that Jesus Christ died
on the cross to pay the debt you owe. But it means going one step further. It means that you will completely trust Christ, alone
, to get you to Heaven--that you will put the matter of your salvation in His hands and depend on Him for everlasting life. Now the moment you do this, God promises you are not condemned but have everlasting life, and that
you shall never perish. (John 5:24), "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." Wouldn’t you like to claim God’s promise that He will take you to Heaven when you die? YOU CAN! Simply accept the fact
that you are a sinner, that because of your sin you deserve Hell. Realize that Jesus died to pay the debt you owe, that He was
buried and rose again the third day, and that no amount of good works, sacraments, baptism, church membership, etc. can save you from Hell.
Without Christ, you are completely helpless. Jesus is your only hope! Your Eternity Now Hinges On One Decision! Will you trust Christ alone as your personal Saviour? Will you "believe" on Christ? Will you simply call on Jesus,
trusting Him alone, to save you from Hell and take you to Heaven when you die? If you will, God promises that you shall be
saved. (Romans 10:13)"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Will you believe God? If so, earnestly, sincerely pray this simple prayer, trusting Christ: Dear Jesus, |
