The Bible says that you can KNOW FOR SURE that you are going to heaven! (1 John 5:13)
Think carefully on this soul-searching question - "If you should die right now, do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?"
If your answer is anything other than, "Yes, I am absolutely certain that my sins are forgiven and that heaven will be my home, " then here is an important message just for you.
The Bible teaches that you must know and BELIEVE a few things in order to be saved:
First, you have sinned against a Holy God.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
Second, you must know where sin leads -
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:14-15)
Third, that the wonderful news of the gospel is that Jesus died in your place to pay the penalty for your sin.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:8)
Lastly, understand that debt that was owed has been paid!!!
Here's all God wants:
"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 with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:9,10,13)
God wants you to believe His word and accept Christ as your personal Saviour.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
If You Will...
Right now, pray a simple prayer and ask Christ to save you... (keep in mind, it is not the prayer that saves, but believing what you are praying) "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?..."
(Romans 10:14a)
Just pray a simple prayer like this...
"Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and the Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sins. Please forgive me and save me. I am trusting in you alone to save me, in Jesus' name, Amen."
If you just prayed that prayer, please let us know so we can rejoice with you, and help you in your Christian walk.
Now that you have accepted the free gift of salvation, some wonderful things have happened:
1. You're saved from an eternity in hell!
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
2. You've received eternal life!
"...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23b)
3. God has received you!
"... and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37b)
4. You are at peace with God!
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1)
5. You went from being God's enemy to being a child of God!
"For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." (Romans 5:10)
"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)
6. Your sins are forgiven and forgotten forever!!!
"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)
"I,even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." (Isaiah 43:25)
I got saved, now what?!
