MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

If you died tonight, do you know for sure you would go to Heaven?  If your answer is, "I'm not sure" or "maybe"  let me share with you how you can know for sure. I have some good news for you!  God wants you in Heaven someday.

GOD WANTS YOU IN HEAVEN SOMEDAY - Heaven is where God lives.  Going to Heaven when you die is not something you can work for or deserve, it's a gift.   The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death but the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23)  

THERE IS A PROBLEM -  Heaven is a perfect place.  Did you know that no SIN is allowed in Heaven because God lives there, and He is Holy.  Our problem is, we have all sinned.  Everyone has this problem. The Bible says in Romans 5:8, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam),  and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all have sinned."    Sin is anything you do, say, think or feel that does not please God.   Therefore,

we all need for a Savior to rescue us from our sins.

GOOD NEWS!   God solved this problem by sending His Son Jesus to earth to be the Savior of the world.  The Bible Says, "For as by one man’s disobedience (Adam) many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience (Jesus) many will be made righteous. (Romans 5:19) Sin messed everything up and our relationship with God was broken.  But by the obedience of Jesus Christ dying on the cross and rising from the dead allowed our relationship with God to be mended and our sins forgiven. The Bible says, "Jesus suffered once for sins, the righteous (Jesus ) for the unrighteous (all of us), that He (Jesus) might bring us to God" (I Peter 3:18)    Jesus took our place on the cross, and by dying He paid in full the "wages" our sin had earned.  Jesus wants to be your Savior from sin!

DO YOU WANT TO BE FORGIVEN?  If you do, talk to God and tell Him that you are willing to repent and place your faith in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, believing that He was the only one that God would allow to die on a cross in your place and be raised from the dead on the third day. (I Corinthians 15:3-4)  The Bible says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."   And, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus will be saved." (Acts 16:31)   God always keeps His promises and will save you if you ask Him.
