ear Soul, if you were to die right now, do you
know whether you would go to heaven or to hell
for all eternity? The Bible, the Word of God, says that
you can know.
My friend, I am asking you the most important
question of your entire life. Your answer will determine
where you will spend eternity! The question is: Are you
saved? The question is not if you are a member of a
church, but are you saved? It is not if you are leading a
good life, but are you saved? It is not if you are working
on it or hoping to be, but are you saved? The Bible says:
"...we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
To be saved, you first must admit that you are a
sinner. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one:...there is none that doeth good, no, not one."
(Romans 3:10,12) "For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) Friend, your sins
have made you fall short of God's glory, and you are
unable to meet His requirements for getting into
heaven.
Secondly, you need to realize that someone loved you
and died for you. Jesus Christ died on a cross to pay for
your sins and to give you an opportunity to go to
heaven. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:8) When Jesus died on the cross, His blood
paid the penalty for your sins. "In whom we have
redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of
sins:" (Colossians 1:14)
Realize that you cannot do anything to earn or help
earn your way to heaven. Jesus already completely paid for
it when He died on the cross. Just before He died He said,
"...It is finished:" (John 19:30) He now wants to give you
a home in heaven. "...the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
You must realize that when Jesus saves you, it is
forever. Jesus did not stay dead. He arose from the grave
and is now alive in heaven interceding for those who
have trusted in Him. "For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received, how that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures:" (1 Corinthians 15:3,4) "Wherefore he is able
also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God
by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them." (Hebrews 7:25)
By faith, receive Jesus Christ. Jesus died to give the
gift of eternal life to everyone. However, like all other
gifts, this one is of no value unless you receive it for
yourself. "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:" (John 1:12) Faith is a complete
trust.
The Bible says you are "saved through faith" without
needing to add anything else. "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."
(Ephesians 2:8,9) The only faith that saves is complete
faith in Jesus Christ. "...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,..." (Acts 16:31) Anything that
you try to add to faith is "works." "Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith without the
deeds of the law." (Romans 3:28)
Dear Soul, if you're willing to stop trying to get to
heaven your way, and completely trust Jesus Christ, then
you can be saved right now! It's now up to you! Just bow
your head and pray to God in your own words, and
admit to Him that you are a guilty sinner who deserves
hell, but that with all your heart, you believe Jesus Christ
can save you from hell and change your way of life. The
Bible says, "That if thou shalt 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
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved." (Romans 10:9, 13)
If you have chosen not to admit your guilt and to
trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour, please read what the
Bible says "...he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God." (John 3:18) Please don't reject
the Gospel! Trust Christ today!
If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour
after reading this tract, please write and let us know.
