Do you know if you died today if you would be in Heaven tomorrow? You can!
To go to Heaven, you must be SAVED. That means you have
been born again, or born spiritually. Let's see if you qualify to be saved.
First, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God?
Secondly, do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins?
Thirdly, do you believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days after He died?
If you answered "Yes" to all three questions, you are qualified to be saved, according to the Bible.
The Bible teaches that you and I are sinners by birth. Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God."
The Bible further teaches that there is a penalty for being a sinner - namely, death in Hell. Romans 6:23, "For the wages
of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." I don't like that, but that's why I'm telling
you how to be saved. I don't want anyone to go to Hell, and you don't have to go to Hell.
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid your penalty of Hell for you. Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his
love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Because we are sinners by birth, we have no perfect sacrifice to make for our sin. Even our best efforts are stained by sin, so that
no matter how good we try to live or how hard we try to make up for our sins, we fall short of what a holy God requires. But, Jesus
Christ is perfect, and His death on the cross was a perfect sacrifice for all of our sin, and God will allow Jesus' sacrifice to
pay for all our sin.
The Bible teaches that we must receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour by faith. John 1:12, "But as many as received him, to
them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Romans 10:13, "For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Much like a bride and groom receive each other when they exchange vows,
you and I must receive Jesus Christ, trusting Him to forgive us of our sins and trusting Him alone to take our souls to Heaven
when we die.
Salvation is not found in a church or a good deed or in baptism or any religious act. Salvation is found in a Person, and that Person
is Jesus Christ.
Would you like your sins forgiven? Would you like to know you would go to Heaven when you die? Would you like to be SAVED? Let me
help you receive Jesus Christ right now.
"Dear God,
I admit I am guilty of being a sinner in Your sight. I am sorry for my sins. I believe
Jesus Christ is Your perfect Son and that He died for my sins and rose from the dead. I want to be saved. I want my sins forgiven,
and right now, I receive Jesus Christ and trust Him to save me. I believe you love me, and I ask You to forgive me of my sins
and to take my soul to Heaven when I die. I trust You, and I thank You for saving me.
Amen."
