A FREE GIFT FOR YOU!
It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done – GOD LOVES YOU.
His love for you is real and He will love you forever. Genuinely search your heart, and answer this question:
“If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?”
Your relationship to Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” The simple truth is God wants you to know where you’re going! God gave us the Bible to show us how Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Bible shows us:
OUR CONDITION
My biggest mistake when I don’t know my way is that I don’t want to admit that I am lost! My wife calls this, “pride.” In order to find the way to eternal life with God, I must admit I am lost in sin.
Romans 5:12 teaches us that since Adam and Eve, the first man and woman on earth, a sin nature has been present in all people.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
Whenever I have been lost, I have paid some type of penalty. I have been late to a special event and, on occasion, I have received a speeding ticket. Sin also has a penalty.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
The “wage” or payment for our sin is spiritual death, and eternal separation from God.
RELIGION AND GOOD WORKS ARE NOT THE ANSWER
Religions try to create their own ways to God. Their systems may seem logical, but they cannot bridge the gap created by our sin.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs 14:12
In other words, our thoughts and ways are not what matter. God’s Word, the Bible, provides true answers of grace and forgiveness.
“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.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
THE GOOD NEWS: JESUS CHRIST PROVIDES THE WAY!
Even though we were lost and separated from God, He loved us, and because He is love, God sent His Son to die on the Cross and raise from the dead three days later.
“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
“But God commendeth [meaning proved or demonstrated] his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
BELIEVE AND RECEIVE JESUS
In order to have a relationship with God and an eternal home in Heaven, we must stop trusting ourselves, our works, and our religions, and place our full trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of our sin and eternal life.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
That is a promise directly from God that if you will pray to Him, confess that you are a sinner, and turn to Him alone to be your Saviour; He promises to save you and give you the free gift of eternal life.
You can make that decision today by praying from your heart, something like this:
Dear God, I know that I am separated from you because of sin. I confess that in my sin, I cannot save myself. Right now, I turn to you alone to be my Saviour. I ask you to save me from the penalty of my sin, and I trust you to provide eternal life to me.—Amen
