URGENT MESSAGE & WAKE UP CALL!
IF YOU DIED TODAY, WOULD YOU GO to HEAVEN?
You may think you are good enough to go to heaven. Are you a good person? Let's take the test:
Have you ever lied?
The bible says:
'all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.'
Because of your sin (SIN = LYING, HATRED, LUST, BLASPHEMY, evil deeds, thoughts, words),
You are an evildoer in God's sight,
You have sinned:
"There is none that does good, no, not one"
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God"
We all deserve to go to hell: a place of eternal punishment.
Because of your crimes, you are in debt to God
'The wages (consequences) of sin is DEATH (Judgement and eternal hell)...':
You need forgiveness for every one of your sins to escape judgement! But How? Well...
God Loves you:
Jesus died on the Cross to PAY for Your Sins in Full!
God was manifest in the flesh as JESUS CHRIST.
He Lived a Sinless, PERFECT LIFE.
When the Son of God died on the cross,
He received the penalty for all of your sins, so you can be forgiven:
he was punished as if He had committed them himself, so you can be pardoned,
He was buried and went to hell 3 days,
Jesus then rose from the dead and showed himself to those that believed in him,
He bodily ascended to heaven,
(a poem)
"we sinners OWE a debt we cannot not PAY,
so Jesus PAID our debt he did not OWE."
'The GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
"But how do I recieve this gift?" "What must I do to be saved?"
'Believe ON The Lord Jesus Christ, and Thou Shalt be Saved.'
Because Jesus payed for all your sins on the cross,
ETERNAL LIFE in heaven is now FREE GIFT, Which we can either:
(1) ACCEPT by TRUSTING in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection as full payment for our sins,
(2) REJECT by unbelief and go to hell.
You can receive this GIFT by putting your FAITH on Jesus, By TRUSTING in Jesus's death for you, who loves you and received YOUR punishment on the cross for sin, rose from the dead, so you can be forgiven. You can't save yourself. God does all the saving. All of it. Your concern is to receive His salvation by putting your trust in his death for you, and his resurrection from the dead, as full payment for your sin. When you do this you will be SAVED, and God PROMISES you will not go to hell when you die, you will go to heaven for all eternity!
'He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.'
(1) Take God at his Word. REALIZE you are a sinner under his wrath.
(2) Believe Jesus died for you and rose again, and that he took the punishment for your sins: payed for your sins in full!
(3) Place all your FAITH and trust ON what Jesus did for you alone,
as the ONLY way for your sins to be pardoned.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." -Jesus Christ
Have you trusted Jesus Christ alone to save you and give you the free gift of eternal life in heaven? Yes___ or No___.
The Bible says 'God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'
CONCLUSION:
You must call upon him in sincerity with a believing heart: "Save me Jesus!"
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved":
"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, I know I deserve to go to hell, but I believe you died on the cross for me and rose again. Please save me right now and give me eternal life. I'm only trusting in you Jesus, not myself. Amen."
