MOST PEOPLE

Want to Go to Heaven When they Die !

However, Most People Do Not Know HOW to be SURE that they Will Go there.

I John 5:11-13 Teaches that the Bible was Written

so that Men might "KNOW" whether or Not they "Have Eternal Life."

Unfortunately, Many Churches today have Clouded the Issues and Left People with the Confusion of Manmade Religious Traditions - Instead of the Certainty that is Available to ALL who will Simply BELIEVE What GOD Has SAID In the BIBLE.

This Problem is Further Exaggerated by the Fact that Most Folks Have Never Read the Bible Enough to Know that they are Being Misled.

God Promised that He would Make an Everlasting Covenant with those who would Meet some Simple Conditions in Isaiah 55 , and He Said He would Give them the "Sure Mercies of David." ***

David Said in Psalm 23 "SURELY Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow Me All the Days of My Life, and I Will Dwell in the House of the Lord Forever."

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS SAME ASSURANCE that David Had

You are Being Robbed of what God Has Promised !

Jesus Said that He had Come that Men might have "Life (Eternal Life -

Be "Saved") and that they might have It More Abundantly" in John 10:10 .

Jesus Said that He had Come to "Give His Life a Ransom for Many" in

Matthew 20:28 .

Jesus Said that He had Come "Not to Call the Righteous , but Sinners to Repentance" in Matthew 9:13 .

Jesus Gave His Life on the Cross as a Ransom to Pay for Our Sins , because

the "Wages of Sin is Death" Romans 6:23 .

Most People Believe that they Have to Do some Good Deeds in Life to Make Amends for their Bad Deeds. However, the Bible Does Not Teach That ! The Bible Teaches that ALL of Our Good Deeds are Unclean, because WE ARE UNCLEAN. Read Isaiah 64:6 .

It Teaches that We are Not Saved by Good Works, but by the Cleansing Power of the BLOOD of Jesus Christ.

Notice : Titus 3:5-6; I John 1:7-9; I Peter 1:18-19; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:22; Romans 3:19-28; & Galatians 3:11-13.

Good Works FOLLOW Salvation and are the

RESULT of REPENTANCE and SAVING FAITH.

Notice: Titus 3:5-8; Ephesians 2:8-10; & Acts 26:19-20.

Jesus Calls Sinners to Repentance , because God Has Appointed a Day in which He will Judge the World by Jesus Christ ( Acts 17:30-31 ) and All of Mankind has Been Like a Sheep Going Astray from God (Each Man Going his OWN Way AWAY from God -- Isaiah 53:6 ) , and they Must Return to God and HIS WAYS to be Saved - Isaiah 55:6-9 .

When an Individual Believes the Message that God Loves Him So Much that He Sent His Son to Be a Sacrifice for his Sins, he is Moved to Love God Back because of God's Goodness Toward him, and This Changes his Attitude from being One of Rebellion Toward God & His WAYS to One of Being a Devoted FOLLOWER by Faith through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Consider : John 3:16 ; I John 4:19 ; Galatians 5:6; Romans 2:4 ; I Peter 2:24-25 ; & Romans 12:1-2.

The Bible Teaches that Our Sins SEPARATE Us FROM God in Isaiah 59:1-2. UNTIL our Sins are Taken Out of the Way and Removed from Our Account with God they will Separate Us From Him. That is Accomplished by Believing that Jesus Died to Take Away Our Sins and Receiving Him By Faith as Our Savior, Our Sacrifice for Sin, & Our Only Hope to Take Us to Heaven when we Die.

Consider : I Peter 2:24; Colossians 2:14; Isaiah 53:4-12; Acts 4:12; & John 3:16-18.

Some are Believing the Wrong Things, while Others Have Never Had the Change of Heart & Mind the Bible Calls Repentance , so they Continue Living their Lives as Sheep Going Astray from God & Disobeying His Word.

These Poor Souls would Rather Believe Other

Authorities MORE than the BIBLE.

They will Listen to their Own Hearts & Feelings, their Own Minds & Personal Thoughts, the Thoughts of Human Teachers or Friends or Others, but They Turn Away from Hearing God's Word.

These Poor Souls will Be Lost Forever,

Unless they Repent & Believe the Gospel !

Examine : Luke 3:7-8; Mark 1:14-15; & Luke 13:1-9.

Jesus Died for You ! Please Give Your

Heart & Life to Him TODAY !

II Peter 3:9 Not Willing that Any Should Perish , but that All Should Come to Repentance

4. That there is a Terrible Penalty Placed Upon You By a Holy God Because of Sin Romans 6:23 & Revelation 20:14-15 .

* Dear God, I Know that I'm a Sinner & that I've Lived My Life My Own Way. I Admit that I've Been Wrong, & I'm Sorry God. I Believe that Jesus Died for My Sins, so I could be Forgiven, & I Ask for Your Gift of Salvation through Him. I Repent of Going My Way Lord, & I Choose Today to Live for Jesus for the Rest of My Life, because He Died for Me. Come Into My Heart Lord Jesus; I Receive YOU Today as My ONLY HOPE of Heaven.

In Jesus' Name , I Pray , AMEN !!!
