Life's
Most Important Question?
What is this question? Here it is - If
you were to die right now, where would you spend eternity, in heaven, or in
hell?
Maybe you say, “I hope it will be heaven.”
Well, there’s only one way to be sure. The answer is found in the Bible. God
says you can know for sure that you have eternal life with him in Heaven
These things have I written
unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye
have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1
John 5:13 )
You say, “Okay, then. God says I can know
it. But how?”
There are just a few things you must
understand
1. You are a sinner -
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
(Romans 3:23)
2. Therefore, your sin must be paid for -
For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23a ) 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. (Rev. 21:8)
3. But not by your good works -
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. (Ephes.
2:8-9)
4. Jesus, God’s Son, died for your sin -
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
5. You receive eternal life by asking God
for it - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
If you believe what God’s Word says about
eternal life, then pray a prayer something like this:
“Dear Lord, I know that I am a
sinner, and that Jesus died on the cross to pay the debt I owe for my sin. I
receive the gift of eternal life You have offered me in Your Word. Please
save me and take me to heaven when I die. Thanks for saving me. Amen.”
If you prayed that prayer, let us know! We
want to rejoice with you. We are glad you are going to spend eternity in Heaven
with us. Email us and let us know.
