John 3:16, "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."
Now that is the whole Gospel wrapped up in a single verse! We want to show you through scripture that being saved from Hell is very easy. In fact, it's as easy as ABC.
A} Acknowledge that you are lost and condemned to Hell.
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;"
Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Ezekiel 18:4, "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die."
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."
B} Believe that Jesus died for your sins, and arose from the dead in victory over death and Hell for you.
John 3:36, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
John 3:14-16, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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."
Acts 10:43, "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
C} Come to Jesus Christ by Faith, and Confess Him as your Lord and Saviour
Romans 10:9-13, "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 the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Revelation 22:17, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
This is the only way, my friend, to escape Hell. Remember John 14:6? Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me."
There is no other way. It is totally, entirely, absolutely by Grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of god. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
You cannot work your way out of Hell. All of your good works are just filthy rags in God's eyes. Only by His Grace can anyone be saved. When you repent of your sins, and trust Jesus as your saviour, you become "Born-Again" of God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit will come into your heart and guide you, comfort you, and teach you through God's Word (The Bible).
I would like to invite you to spend eternity in Heaven with the Redeemed of Christ. It is only through His shed blood on Calvary that anyone will enter those Heavenly Gates.
It is very simple. Just a simple, sincere prayer of faith will do. Something like this:
Dear Jesus,
I know I have sinned. I know that I deserve Hell. I also know that you took my place on Calvary. You suffered my death for me. You suffered my Hell for me. Please forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart today. I repent of my sins, and ask you to wash me in your precious blood this moment. Amen. |
