Eternal Life?
Friend I am asking you the most important question of
your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon
your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a
question of how good you are, nor if you are a church
member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to
Heaven when you die?
Friend, God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be
born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must
be born again."
In the Bible, God gives us the plan of how to be born
again, which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can
be saved today. How? First, Friend, you must realize you are
a sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God" (Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death.
"For the wages [payment] of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).
This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
"...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgement" (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son,
Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "...He hath
made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us... that
we might be made the righteousness of God in Him" (2
Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. "For the life of the
flesh is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11). "...without shedding of
blood is no remission [pardon]" (Hebrews 9:22).
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and
your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He
became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
Friend, "God...now commandeth all men everywhere to
repent" (Acts 17.30).
This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God
that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did
for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and
Silas: "...'Sirs, what must I do to be saved'? And they
said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved...'"
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died
in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected.
His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can
claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.
"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).
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved". (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe,
nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever
you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me
a sinner." Just pray: "Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I
believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I
believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were
for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank you for the
forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and
everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen."
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by
faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge,
no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving.
All of it!
God's simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner.
Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your
place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on
Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive
forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal
salvation by faith.
You say, "Surely, it cannot be that simple." Yes, that
simple! It is scriptural. It is God's plan. My friend,
believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this letter over
and over until you understand it. Your soul is worth more
than all the world.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss
Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very
moment.
God's power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you
to live a victorious Christian life. "There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God
is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1
Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God's
promises. They never change. After you are saved, there are
three things to practice daily for spiritual growth: Pray -
you talk to God. Read your Bible - God talks to you. Witness
- you talk for God.
PRAYER OF SALVATION
Dear Heavenly Father,
I acknowledge that I am a sinner and need to be saved. By
faith, I trust in Jesus Christ as the Divine Son of God,
born of the Virgin Mary, and I believe that He paid my sin
debt upon the cross of Calvary, where He was crucified.
Because He bled and died, was buried, and rose again,
according to the Scriptures, I too have the promise through
Christ that I will also rise again and reign with Him
eternally. Therefore, I ask Christ to come into my heart and
save my soul, forgive me of my sins, and give me Eternal
Life, this very day. Amen!
If you said this prayer, then your faith in Jesus Christ
has made you Free from sin and death!
You are now our Brother/Sister in Christ, so let me be to
first to say I love you Brother/Sister and welcome to a new
Birth and a new Life.
