IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, ARE YOU 100% SURE YOU'D GO TO HEAVEN?
YOU CAN BE SURE!!!
Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. We want to please Him in all that we say and do. One of the things He wants us to do is to tell you these truths. We often fail, but He accepts our apologies, forgives us, and encourages us to try again. Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we have Heaven as our future home, and you can, too. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive your sins (we all sin), and He will. It's that simple:-) Here's some Scripture verses to back up what we have said:
Romans 5:12 - "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
(This is referring to the original sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit they were forbidden. It shows us that we're all sinners, and that the payment for that sin is death. When we die, we go to one of two places--Heaven or Hell.)
Revelation 21:8 - "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
(Most of us are not murderers or idolaters, but we all fit into the category of "all liars." Whether they're little white lies or gollywhoppers, a lie is a lie, and if we've lied, we should end up in Hell, the "lake" that this verse described. There is, however, a way of escape.)
John 3:16 - "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."
(This is head knowledge--it shows that we need to believe in Jesus if we want eternal life. However, it's not enough to just "believe" in Jesus; Satan believes in God and in Jesus, but he's destined for Hell. You must also have a heart knowledge..............)
John 1:12 - "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
(To receive or trust Jesus as your Saviour is the key message here. Many think, "Well, I haven't been all THAT bad.)
Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
(So salvation is through faith--it's nothing that we've done or could do. It doesn't matter if we're "good" people or "bad." A gift is not something you've worked for--that would be payment. A gift is something that is freely given, but must be accepted before it can be a gift. How do you accept this gift that God offers?)
Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
(This is Jesus, himself, speaking. He wants to be your Saviour. If you hear His voice [the Scripture verses you've been reading are Christ's voice], and ask Him in, He will come into your heart. He doesn't say, "MAYBE I'll come in," but "I WILL come in.")
If you would like to ask Jesus to forgive you and be your Saviour, it's easy. These words aren't required, but as a guideline, here's a little prayer: "Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I want you to forgive my sins, come into my heart, and be my Saviour. In Jesus name, Amen."
If you said this prayer, or another one similar to it, you're saved and on your way to Heaven. As a little reassurance, here's one more Scripture verse:
Hebrews 13:5b - "...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
(NEVER, Jesus said he will NEVER leave us, so whether we die today, tomorrow, or 50 years from now, we'll go to Heaven. Nothing that anyone, including ourselves, can do will change that fact!)
If you have accepted Jesus because of what you've read here, we would be thrilled to hear from you!! Please call or e-mail to let us know your decision. Whether we hear from you or not, it's important for you to find a good BIBLE-BELIEVING church home so that you can "...grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord..." If you need help in finding such a church, we have access to a list of such churches all across the United States. May God bless you!
