he shocking truth is that Jesus Christ will not
save you. That's right! Jesus Christ will not save
you, unless you realize the following facts:
1. You are separated from God. "But your iniquities
have separated between you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
(Isaiah 59:2) "For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
2. You are condemned by God at this moment. "... he
that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the only begotten
Son of God." (John 3:18b) "Now we know that what
things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are
under the law (you): that every mouth may be
stopped, and all the world may become guilty before
God." (Romans 3:19)
3. Your punishment is certain. "And as it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
(Hebrews 9:27) "The wicked shall be turned into
hell..." (Psalm 9:17a) "... be sure your sin will find you
out." (Numbers 32:23) "For the wages of sin is
death;" (Romans 6:23a)
HOWEVER...
1. Jesus Christ died for you. "But God commendeth
(sent forth) his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "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)
2. Jesus Christ is the only way. "Jesus saith unto him, I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) "Neither is
there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
3. Jesus Christ saves without your help. "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)
ow that you have the truth, the decision is
yours! Will you repent? "The Lord is...not
willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) "Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out," (Acts 3:19a) Repentance is when a
person admits his guilt to God, and sincerely desires
to turn from his sin.
Will you trust Jesus Christ to save you? Romans 10:13
states, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved." Jesus Christ did everything that
was needed to pay for your sins and take you to
heaven. That is the reason Jesus Christ came to earth,
and that is why He is called the Saviour. You cannot
help save yourself by baptism, church attendance,
prayers, sacraments, giving money, or trying to lead a
good life. In order to be saved, you must completely
trust Jesus Christ and His power to save you.
Can you afford to wait? The Bible says, "... behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation..." (2 Corinthians 6:2b) "Boast not thyself of
to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may
bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1) Dear Soul, the most
important decision that you will make in this life will
be to trust or to reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Saviour. Don't take a chance! Call on God now! You
might not be alive tomorrow!
In your own words, pray and tell God you are a
guilty sinner, you now believe that Jesus Christ is the
Saviour, and you want to completely trust Him with
your soul's eternity.
If you have decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour
after reading this tract, please write and let us know.
