Where will you spend eternity?
The Bible says that you have a soul
and that after you die, the essence of who you are will go on into eternity.
Others may say that this is not true but God's Word says that it is.
"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."
~ John 3:16
Do you believe that the Bible is God's Word?
Before we can accept God's plan
of salvation, we must first be able to place our confidence in the Bible
as the Word of God. Having faith in His Book as being the complete
revelation of God to man is necessary to come to faith in His Son as the
only way to Heaven. "All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reprooof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness." ~ II Timothy 3:16
Are you able to admit that you are a sinner?
You are right. No one is perfect.
In comparison to other people we might come out looking pretty good, but
in contrast to a perfect God we fall very short. "As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one."..."For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;" ~ Romans 3:10&23
You see, sin seperates us from
God. Therefore, our only hope is for Him to provide us a way, a bridge
if you will, to fill the gap of sin between us and Him.....
So God wrapped Himself in a robe of
flesh, came to this earth, and was known as Jesus of Nazereth. This
same Jesus was crucified on a cross even though He was absolutley innocent.
He died for our sins as only the perfect and sinless Son of God could do.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us."
~ Romans 5:8
Are you willing to accept God's gift of eternal life?
The Bible makes it clear that one's
salvation is a gift from God. Gifts cannot be earned. Rather,
they are freely given in love. "For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through jesus Christ our Lord."
~ Romans 6:23
~ Jesus is your only hope
~
Would you like to accept Christ as your
personal Saviour right now?
The scriptures make it clear that
we are saved by faith and not our own works of righteousness. That
being the case, the only hope of Heaven you have is to commit your eternal
soul to the same God who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die
for your sins.
It's time to pray and ask God
to forgive you for your sins; to ask Jesus, by faith, to save your soul
and give you His wonderful gift of eternal life.
"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
Would you like a little help as you pray?
God,
please forgive me for my sins.
I believe that the Bible is
your Book and that it is true.
I also realize that I can do
nothing by myself to earn salvation.
Believing that Jesus died for
my sins, was buried, and rose again,
I now accept Him as my personal
Saviour.
Thank you, Lord, for saving
my soul and for giving me
the gift of eternal life through
Jesus Christ my Lord.
"For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
~ Romans 10:13
