Can you see
clearly?
Do you know where you are going?
For eternal destinations, you need more than a clear
windshield!
If you died today, do you know for sure that you would
be in God's presence? You can know, and know now!
|
The Word of God says
that
our eternal destination is based on what we believe.
1. We
Are All Sinners. You must accept you are a
sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We have all sinned.
"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." (Romans 5:12).
We are born with our sin and fall far short of God and His Glory. No one is
exempt.
2. Sin Has A Penalty.
You must accept you owe a penalty. "For the wages of
sin is death." (Romans 6:23a). Because of our sin, we owe a debt.
This debt is spiritual death. Separation from God forever. However, nothing we
can do will pay this debt. There is only one way to get to Heaven. How?
3. Jesus Christ Paid That Penalty.
You must accept that Jesus paid your sin debt. "But
God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us" (Romans 5:8). Christ was not a sinner, and the Bible teaches
that God took all of our sin and placed it on Christ. While Christ was bearing
all our sins in His own body, God punished Him in our place to pay the debt we
owe. This is not something God promised to do. It is something He has already
done. "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). It is a fact: Jesus Christ has
already paid your sin debt.
4. Accept Jesus Christ As Your Savior. You must accept that Jesus
Christ died for you. "He that believes on the
Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abides on him" (John 3:36). In this verse, the
world is divided into two groups: those who are believing and those who are not
believing on the Son. Those who believe have everlasting life, and those who
don't believe shall not see life. |
Believe In Jesus Christ
The word "believe" means
to trust, to depend on, to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ means
that you accept the fact that you are a sinner, that as a sinner you owe the sin
penalty, and that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the debt you owe. But it
means going one step further: it means that you will completely trust in Him for
eternal life, that you will place the matter of your salvation in His hands and
depend on Him alone for everlasting life. God's Promise To You.
The moment you do this, God promises you are not condemned but have everlasting
life: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John
5:24). |
Trust In HIM
Now, if you will trust Jesus Christ
as your Savior, pray this simple prayer from your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I deserve to
pay my own sin debt. I acknowledge that there is nothing I can do in and
of myself to pay that debt. I believe that You died for me to pay the debt
that I owe, because you love me with an everlasting love. Today, I ask you to
come into my heart and my life, forgive me for my sin, and cleanse me. I
trust You from this day forward as my Savior. Lead me into the way of
righteousness and perform your will in my life as Lord. In Jesus' name I
pray, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer and meant every word in your heart, please take a
moment to let us know. We would love to rejoice with you! Email us at
