The most important thing I can
share about myself is the fact that I have accepted
Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Without a
doubt I know that when I die I will go to Heaven and be
in the presence of my savior Jesus Christ. I received this free
gift of salvation the moment I, by faith, placed my
trust in Christ and Christ alone for my salvation based
upon His death, burial and resurrection. This gift of
salvation is instantaneous and eternal. It is the will
of Jesus Christ that all men to be saved. Paul wrote in
1Timothy 2:3-4 For this is good
and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will
have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge
of the truth.
I must
ask, Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior? Do
you know without a shadow of doubt that if you died
today, would you go to Heaven? If you can not answer
this question with an absolute yes, please let me show
you from the Bible how you may know for sure.
The Bible makes it very clear we are all sinners. We
have all come short of God's righteousness. Nothing
we do is equal to God's righteousness.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is
none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;
The penalty for the sin we have
committed is death. Because of our sin we are separated
from God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is
death; . . .
James 1:15 . . . and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
This
death is spending eternity in Hell apart from God..
*Revelation
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
*Mark 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee,
cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into
life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into
the fire that never shall be quenched:
*2Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Everyone who has not accepted Jesus
Christ as their savior will spend eternity in the lake
of fire.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Jesus the only begotten son of God shed his blood and
died on the cross to pay the penalty for everyone's sin.
He was buried and rose from the dead the third day
proving that He was, is and always will be God.
Eph 2:8-9 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.
2Peter 3:9 ¶ 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.
What must you do to be saved:
-
Believe you are a sinner.
-
Believe your sin has separated you
from the love of God.
-
Believe you cannot saved yourself.
-
By faith believe Jesus died on the
cross and rose from the grave the third day to
justify you before God
-
Ask Jesus to save you
-
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you have done
this you are saved. There is nothing more you ever need
to do to be saved or to remain saved.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now
justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him.
1John 5:11 And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in
his Son.
