The gift of God is eternal life in Heaven. He gives the gift of salvation freely to all who ask, no matter how late in their lives nor how sinful they have been. Nobody is so bad that they can't be saved and nobody is so good that they need not be saved.
My friend, I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or sorrow for all
eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how
good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to
Heaven when you die?
God says that in order to go to Heaven, a place of complete and eternal happiness, we must be born again. In (John 3:7), Jesus said to Nicodemus,
"You must be born again."
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is
simple! You can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God" (Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. "For the wages [payment] of sin is death"
(Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to bear your sin and die in
your place.
Although we cannot understand how, God said that our sins were laid upon Jesus and
He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, "God...now commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17.30).
This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom
God resurrected.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No
church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
Therefore, unless you believe in Jesus Christ Who
died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. Your soul is worth more than all the world. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36). If you believe in Jesus Christ as your crucified, buried,
and risen Saviour, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins(past, present and future) and His gift of eternal salvation by
faith.
You say, "Surely, it cannot be that simple." Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God's plan. My
friend, believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal Saviour today.
Right now, wherever you are, if you say this prayer from your heart and really mean it, then by His Glorious Grace you will be saved and you will have God's peace. Something that no one can ever take away from you. Just pray the following prayer from your heart out loud so that you can hear it with your own ears:
"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I don't want to spend eternity in Hell. I want to spend eternity in Heaven with You. I know that You love me and want to save me. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and that You shed Your precious blood for my sins while You died on that cross. I believe You arose from the dead. Please forgive me of all my sins. Please save me and come into my heart and life. I now accept and trust You as my Lord and Saviour. Lord Jesus, I thank You for forgiving me and for saving me through Your merciful grace. Amen."
If you said that prayer and meant it, God heard you and forgave you. You are now a born again Christian saved from Hell and your eternal destiny in Heaven is secure. Welcome to the family of God.
The Bible says, "Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). The death of Jesus on the cross was the payment for our sins, the resurrection of Jesus from the grave is our receipt.
Our Sin Payment
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Our Receipt
"For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living." Romans 14:9
Those of you who are still thinking about it, think about this. If you refuse to acknowledge what Jesus Christ did for you on that cross you will forever remain in your sins. Wouldn't it be terrible to die and go to Hell when all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. The choice of where we will spend eternity is before each of us, whether we will go to everlasting punishment in Hell or spend eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven. The Bible says in (John 14:6), Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
The Bible also says in (Acts 4:12), "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Even good people, who are respectful towards God still need to come to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. This passage in the Bible says, "To him(Jesus) give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him(Jesus) shall receive remission of sins." (Acts 10:43)
Jesus rules out every other religious system. He isn't "a" way but "the" way to the Father(God) who is in Heaven.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this over and over again from the beginning, without laying it down, until you understand it. Your soul is worth more than all the world. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36). Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God's promises. They never change. My friend, please make the same decision I am glad I made and walk through this door of forgiveness before it's too late.
If you were saved today then I suggest that you get a New International Version Bible. The (NIV) Bible is more easy for new Christians to read and understand. A good place to start reading the Holy Bible would be the book of John. You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your
salvation and then unite with a 100% Bible-believing church. If you already belong to a church that doesn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only Son of God and the only way of salvation then get out and find one that does.
ALL GLORY AND PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND ALMIGHTY GOD, OUR FATHER.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, Internet Evangelist Ronald L. Grossi
Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Romans 4:7
