“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
I want to share the MOST IMPORTANT thing in my life with you. Since I accepted Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior, nothing has been the same. Now I'm part of God's family, and you can be too!
Everybody wants to live forever, and I have WONDERFUL NEWS to share with you! You CAN live forever. You can know for sure that you are going to Heaven when you die. Please read the following steps and I will explain how you can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Heaven is your home.
1. We are all sinners. The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 There isn’t one person in the world who is not a sinner. “There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10 Even if you have only lied once, you are still a sinner. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 God is a just and holy God, and He cannot allow any sin into His Heaven, otherwise all of Heaven would become polluted, and things would be just as bad as they are here on earth.
We can’t get to Heaven by our works. Confessing your sin to the priest will not get you there. Praying will not get you there. Giving to the poor will not get you there. God’s Word 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.” Ephesians 2:8,9
2. There is a price for our sin. The Bible tells us that, “The wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23 Adam and Eve committed the first sin when they ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. That's where it all started. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” Romans 5:12
God could not allow this sin to go unpunished, and that is why everyone has to die now. The price we must pay for our sin is eternity in Hell. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17 The damnation of the human race was sealed with one, small bite of disobedience.
3. That is the bad news. Now here comes the GOOD NEWS: God had mercy on us!!! He made a way out. He saw our lost state, and He sent His perfect Son to die on an old rugged cross in our place. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“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
Jesus Christ became your substitute! He died in your place so that you could live for ever and ever! “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Yes, “The wages of sin is death…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23 God’s gift is eternal life which was provided by Jesus’ death on the cross. It is the greatest gift anyone can give, and it is free for the taking.
4. All you have to do to accept this gift is to believe on Jesus Christ and receive Him into your heart and life! Just like when a friend waits at your door for you to let him in, even so Jesus is eagerly waiting at your heart’s door. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 Will you let Him in?
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 “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
If you believe that this is the truth, and you want to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are going to Heaven, please pray this pray. You must mean it from the bottom of your heart.
Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner, and because of my sin I am going to Hell. I believe that You died for me and rose again. Please forgive me for my sin. Come into my heart and life, and take me to Heaven when I die.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Congratulations!!! You have just become part of the family ~ God’s family! If you have prayed and truly meant it, then you are now God’s child and you will go to Heaven for all eternity!!!
Your Assurance: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” John 1:12
Jesus said: “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” John 10:28,29
Now, the next thing you should do is:
~ Buy a King James Version Bible, which is the only true Word of God.
~ Find a fundamental, Bible-believing, Baptist church in your area.
~ Get baptized. (Baptism symbolizes Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. It is a sign to the world that you have put your trust in Christ.)
~ TELL OTHERS!!!
