ARE YOU SAVED? ARE YOU GOING TO HEAVEN? God does not want you to perish. He is rich in mercy
and compassion, and has provided a way for you to be
forgiven. He has invited you to come to Him for a full
pardon and receive the free gift of Eternal Life.
You cannot earn it, and you do not deserve it, but
God is offering it to you as proof of His love for you. Imagine you are standing in front of a judge, guilty of
multiple serious crimes. All the evidence has been
presented and there is no doubt about your guilt. Your apologies and good works cannot erase your crimes;
therefore you must be punished. The fine for your crime
is $250,000 or imprisonment, but you don’t have two
pennies to rub together. The judge is about to pass
sentence when someone you don't even know steps in
and pays your fine for you! The court accepts the
money and declares that you are free to go. The law
has been satisfied, your debt has been paid in full,
and the stranger’s sacrifice was a demonstration of
his love for you. That’s what God did for you
2000 years ago. The Bible says that the God of the Universe became a
man (Jesus Christ), and suffered and died on the cross
for your sins and mine so that we could be set free.
It's as simple as this, we broke the Law, and Jesus paid
our fine. "God demonstrated His own love for us in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being
made a curse for us." (Galatians 3:13) Do you see God’s great love for you? Do you see your
need for His forgiveness? Do what He commands and
Repent that your sins may be wiped out and times of
refreshing may come from the Lord. (Acts 3:19)
You must turn away from sin and turn to God.
Desire to have NOTHING to do with sin, and surrender
your life to the One who can save you. Jesus died
to set you free, and then he rose from death to be
your Lord. Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth,
and the Life. No one comes to the Father except
through me. If you will confess and forsake your
sins (repent) and trust in Jesus Christ as your
Savior and Lord, God will forgive you and you’ll
pass from death to life.
If you are not sure how to pray, read Psalm 51 and
make it your prayer. What does it mean to "put your faith in Jesus Christ?"
It means to personally trust in Jesus the same way
you’d trust in a parachute if you had to jump 25,000
feet out of an airplane. You wouldn’t just "believe"
in the parachute; you would put it on! In the same way,
the Bible says, "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ..." and
you will be saved. There are millions of people who
"believe" Jesus exists . . . but they have not put on
the Savior there’s a BIG difference. And the difference
will be obvious when you jump though the door of death. Today, with all your heart turn away from sin, and
surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Please don’t put
it off till later. You may die today and then it will
be too late. You may not yet have all the answers to
your questions, but better to put on the parachute
first and then ask questions, then to pass through
the door unprepared, grasping for the parachute when
it’s too late.
HE IS THE ONLY WAY. I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
Bible Verses For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of GOD-not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8&9 For GOD so Loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who ever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life. John 3:16 That if you confess with your mouth,"Jesus Is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9&10 What we must do to be Saved. 1. Admit your need, (I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from sin, (Repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ Is The Son Of GOD, That He Died for you,(on the cross), And Rose From the Dead. 4. Through Prayer, Invite Jesus Christ into your Life, into your Heart, (Receive Him as your LORD and Savior). Prayer: LORD GOD HEAVENLY FATHER, I know that I'm a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that your son ,Jesus Christ, Died for my sins and that you raised him from the dead. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior. I am willing, by GOD'S grace, to fallow and obey Jesus Christ as the LORD of my life. JESUS IS LORD. GOD forgive me of my sins, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
There is nothing magic about these words it
is the attitude of your heart that God cares about. God will transform you from the inside out. You will
think and feel differently as you learn to trust and
obey Him. God will give you new strength to live right
and love Him above all else. Read your Bible daily and
obey His Word. You can trust God He loves you and will
always be faithful.
Find a Calvary Chapel or other bible Believing/Reading Church. Come back Frequently to this web Site and read a few Bible study pages. my e-mail (Randy) If you've decided to reject the gift of forgiveness and
you die in your sins, there is no hope for you. There is
no purgatory. The wrath of God abides on you and you will
spend eternity in Hell. Please take the time to read what
the Bible says Hell is like.
