Please
select from the three options below: 1. If saved, you can copy and paste this message and send this
message to a friend, acquaintance, or love one that may not be saved. 2. If you are not saved, in other words, you have never asked
Jesus Christ to come into your heart, follow the instructions provided
below. 3. You can chose to ignore this message and miss the many
blessings that accompany knowing Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior
(Note: This is not really an option.
Please disregard this option and follow the instructions in options
one or two above.) If you were to die today, are you 100% sure that you would go to
Heaven? Do you want to be
100% sure that you will go to Heaven when you die?
You know, you can be…….. The Bible says "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…" (1 John
5:13) Four simple steps below
can give you eternal life. You have never seen God you say?
The Bible tells us that everyone (all men and women) believe in
God, we are born knowing there is a God:
"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them. For
the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power
and Godhead, so that they are without excuse:" (Romans 1: 19-20) Now that we have
cleared that up, let's move on….in order to be saved, there are a few
things that you must accept. First:
You must accept that you are a sinner!
"For all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God" (Romans
3:23)
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one" (Romans 3:10) In other words, no one is perfect and no
one has ever lived up to God's perfect standard. We are all sinners in God's eyes. Second:
You must accept that as a sinner, you owe a penalty!
"For the wages of sin is
death" (Romans 6:23)
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die."
(Ezekiel 18:4b)
This is described in the Bible as the second death, the lake of
fire.
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
the second death." (Rev
20:14) If we pay what we owe as sinners, we
must spend an eternity in the lake of fire (Hell). Death is not just dying and going to the grave; it's spending
eternity in Hell. Third:
You must accept that Jesus Christ has already paid our sin debt.
"For when we were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."
(Romans 5:6)
"…that He by the grace of God should taste death for every
man." (Hebrews 2:9b) 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 of 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 that God 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) "He hath made Him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in
Him." (II Corinthians 5:21) It is a fact, Jesus Christ has already
paid your sin debt. Fourth:
You must accept by faith what Jesus Christ did for you.
Ninety times in the gospel of John the
Bible says, "BELIEVE." "He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth in him."
(John 3:36) In this verse, Jesus divides the world
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 believe not shall not see life. The word "believe" 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 Christ to get you to Heaven - that
you will put the matter of Salvation in His hands and depend on Him for
everlasting life.' Now the
moment you do this, God promises that you are not condemned but have
everlasting life and that you shall never perish. "Verily, verily, I sat unto you, he
that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that send me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life." (John 5:24) This is a gift, it's
free, you can't work for it, you can't buy it, going to Church will not
get it for you, and being a good person will not help you obtain it.
You must accept it. It's
by choice, not chance. It's a
gift and all you have to do is ask the Lord for it. The Bible says "That if thou shall 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. For
the Scripture saith, whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed…for
the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him, for whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:9-13) If you will trust
Jesus Christ as your Savior, either call or visit the person that sent
this message to you. They
will help you and encourage you during this time.
If you cannot get a hold of them, get on your knees immediately (do
not wait any longer as you are not guaranteed tomorrow) and pray this
simple prayer: "Dear Lord
Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I deserve to pay for my sin, but I do
believe that you died for me to pay the debt that I owe.
Today, the best that I know how, I trust You as my Savior.
I ask you to forgive me of my sins and help me to depend on You
from this moment on for my Salvation.
I also ask that you help me to live for You and to be a good
Christian. I ask this in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."
It will be hard to
keep this inside, so call everyone you know and share the good news with
them. Make sure that you
contact the person that sent this to you so that they can tell you more
about being a Christian. That's all there is
to it. Now that you are
saved, open your Bible and see what it says about assurance: "…for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee." Hebrews 13:5b Look up these verses as well:
John 10:27-29; John 11:25-26; John 5:24; Romans 8:38-39;
Philippians 1:6; 1 Peter 1:4 I congratulate you
on your new life. May God
bless you in all that you do! This
message is from a child of God, someone that sincerely cares about you.
Please do not take this lightly; it doesn't get any more serious
than this. |
