May we ask
you some questions?
What if you were to die tonight? Do you
know for sure whether you would go to
heaven? What if you were standing in front
of the gates of heaven and Jesus asked
you , "Why should I let you in to
My kingdom?" What would you say?
God's Purpose
God created you with a purpose for your
life in mind. He has a plan for you. "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." (John 3:16) God's plan for
us is to live forever with Him in Heaven.
Our Need
Perhaps you are here because you don't
know where else to turn. You've been searching
for the meaning of life. On your search,
you've uncovered man's sinful nature.
Sin keeps us from fulfilling God's plan
in our lives. "For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23). We were born with a sinful
nature and therefore cannot help that
we sin. This sin in our lives also separates
us from heaven. But God has provided us
with a way to escape eternal life in hell.
God's Provision
God hates sin and must punish it. However,
God loves us so much that he provides
forgiveness for our sin. That forgiveness
was the death of His Son, Jesus. God sent
Jesus to die on the cross as payment for
all of our sins. Jesus said, "I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me".
(John 14:6) A personal relationship is
the only way to heaven. Jesus wants to
have a relationship with you. Do you have
that relationship?
Our Response
We must invite Jesus to be a part of our
lives. Because we are sinners we need
to turn away from our sin and ask Jesus
to live in our hearts. "That 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). When
we give our lives over to God, then He
begins to complete His plan for us. This
is great news for those without hope.
God wants to take care of us! Is there
any reason why you would not want to trust
Jesus as you Lord and Savior right now?
If not, are you willing to turn from your
sin and ask Jesus to come into your heart
today?
If you are ready for Christ to come into
your life, then pray this simple prayer.
These are not "magic words"
that will make the earth shatter or lightning
strike. They are simply the keys to the
gates of heaven and peace in our life.
Dear Lord Jesus...I believe that you are
God's Son...and you died to forgive me
of my sins...I want you to forgive me
of all my sins...I ask you now to come
into my life as Savior and Lord...Thank
you for saving me. Amen
