Do you need a friend you can
totally trust with everything?
Do you know what will become of you when you
die?
Do you have something missing in your life, you
just cannot seem to find ?
Do you know where you will spend
FOREVER?
Let's first look at what will happen to you when you die and where you
will spend FOREVER. When you die there is ONE of TWO places you will end up and spend
eternity (forever), Heaven or Hell, and you, at the moment, have the choice of where you
go. This is a choice that can not be made for you, it is not a choice you can make after
you die, it is a choice you have to make while you are alive. If you do nothing or choose
to ignore your opportunity to make the choice, it will be made for you. And that choice is
Hell.
Have you
made the choice? Do you know that you will go to Heaven when you die? What would you say
if you stood before God and he asked you why He should let you into Heaven? Well, you CAN
be sure that you will be Heaven. In the Bible it says: "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." (John 3:16)
In other words, God loved YOU so much that He sent His son to die for you
so you can spend eternity in Heaven!!! It is a free gift.
"The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Jesus Christ is God's only son. The one He sent for YOU.
It's all
pretty simple... At one time we were close to God, but sin came into our life and
separated us from God. God sent His son Jesus Christ to die for our sin and
God raised Him from the dead so we would no longer be separated from God.
Now this is where you come in.... God has given you a free
gift, but you have to accept the gift from God to recieve it. "How do I do
that?" you ask..
* First, you must repent or turn
away from your sins. "Repent and be converted so your sins may be taken away ."
(Acts 3:19)
* Next, you must place your faith in Jesus Christ. "By grace you
are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
(Ephesians 2:8)
Faith means to trust Jesus Christ, not just believing facts.
* Finally, you
must let Jesus Christ be the Lord of your life. "If you confess with your mouth that
Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved. For it is in your heart that you believe and are justified and with your mouth you
confess and are saved." (Romans 10:9-10)
Giving Jesus Christ control of your life means to give all of yourself to Him, you allow
Him to guide you and your actions. Saved means you have accepted the free gift from God.
Do you wish to know and have the peace that you will spend FOREVER in Heaven? The
answer is Jesus Christ. Are you missing something in your life that you can not seem to
find? What you are missing is Jesus Christ. Do you need a trusted friend? You can trust NO
ONE as much as Jesus Christ...
Do you want to turn from your sin and
place control of your life in the best friend you will ever have?
If your answer is YES, the
Bible says "Whoever calls
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
All you have to do is ask Jesus Christ to be
your Lord in a simple, little prayer like this:
Dear Jesus, I believe in YOU. I believe You are the Son of
God, that You died for our sins, and that you were buried and rose again as it is written
in the Bible, I'm sorry for the things I've done that hurt You. Forgive me for all my
sins. Come into my heart, take charge of my life and make me the way You want me to be.
With Your ever present help, I renounce all my sinful practices of the past. Cleanse my
heart with Your precious blood. Write my name in Your Book of Life. I confess You now as
my Lord and Savior. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus! In Jesus' Name,
Amen."
If you prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart,
then you can now know that you have a spot in Heaven!!!! You can know that you now have a
new best friend!!!! You can know that the thing missing in your life is filled with Jesus
Christ!!!!
We really would like to know about you making this
decision. Please send an Email telling about it . From here on out God is your boss, so
you need to know what He wants you to do. To do this you need to read the Bible everyday
(I suggest you start in the Book of Mark to help you get to know Jesus a little better,
then Romans to help you understand what it means to be a Christian.)
If you do not have a Bible let us
know, we'll see that you get one. Also you need to talk to God everyday through prayer. Do
not worry if you do not think you know how, just talk to Him. Remember He is now your best
friend. Speaking of friends, you will need some good Christian friends to help you grow as
a Christian. So please find a good BIBLE BELIEVING church to join, let God lead you to
one.
May God Bless Your Walk With
Him.
