Some people THINK that going to Heaven consist of:
* Keeping the Ten Commandments
* Doing Good Works
* Living a Good Life
* Church Membership
* Tithing or Giving to a Church
* Water Baptism
* Trying to Be a Better Person All of these make sense, but these actions, activities and good works are not requirements for eternal life. The Bible says, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5). There is nothing more wonderful in life than discovering God's plan for eternal life. Discover the facts for yourself, and you can KNOW for certain that you will spend eternity with God. THE FREENESS OF HEAVEN. The Bibles says, "... The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). "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). There is not one thing you can do to earn a place in Heaven. It is free! You can do nothing to earn eternal life. It is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone that will get you to Heaven.
THE
PROBLEM OF
SIN.
The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We all fall short of God's perfect standard. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23). We deserve death and Hell.
THE CURE
FOR SIN IS JESUS CHRIST.
The Bible records John the Baptist introducing Jesus to the world when he said, "...Behold the Lamb of God , which taketh away the sin of the world." "Christ died for our sins... and that He rose again on the third day..." (I Corinthians 15:3,4). "But God commendeth His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "For He (God) hath made Him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (II Corinthians 5:21). "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5). Jesus Christ, the God-Man (John 1) has removed the barrier of sin. His death paid the penalty for our sins and His resurrection made eternal life possible.
FAITH
ALONE IN
CHRIST ALONE.
The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
"For God so loved the world (you), that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever ______________________ your name BELIEVETH IN HIM (Jesus Christ) should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). If you can put your name in the blank space above, on the authority of God's word, you can KNOW you have eternal life. "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). "Verily, verily. I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).
SALVATION
IS ETERNAL.
The Bible says, "And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand" (John 10:28). Doesn't it make sense to believe on the One who came back from the dead and trust Him for eternal life? Will you accept God's way and receive God's gift of eternal life?
