ARE  YOU  GOING  TO  HEAVEN ?

The wonderful news of God's salvation is that He loves you [John 3:16], and that even though we all have come short of His goodness [Romans 3:23] (that is what sin is), He has made a way to forgive us of all our sins, and to cleanse us of them. But how is this possible?

You must realize that you can do nothing to earn this gift from God [Ephesians 2:8-9]. It is through God's love and grace toward us that He offers forgiveness, through faith in Jesus [John 14:6]. It was Jesus who gave His life willingly for you, canceling your debt to God, and He was raised from the dead to guarantee your right standing before God [Romans 4:45-25]. He stands even now as a friend, interceding on your behalf [1 Tim. 2:5-6], so that nothing can separate you from His love [Romans 8:31, 38-39].

How do you receive this gift? By believing [Acts 16:31] on Jesus, God's Son, accepting His perfect life and sacrifice on your behalf, and committing yourself, in faith, to God. It is He who calls you, He who forgives, and He who will keep and guide you [John 10:27-28].

God offers you peace right now with Himself [Philippians 4:7] and with your fellow man, and eternal [1 John 5:13] life in His presence when this short life has ended. Won't you accept God's gift, by calling [Romans 10-13] upon Him, and committing your life to Him today?

If your true heart's desire is to repent (turn from your sin) and seek God, here is a simple prayer you might pray.

"Dear God, I know that I have done wrong, and I know there is nothing I can ever do to earn your favor. I believe that Jesus lived a perfect life, and that He satisfied your perfect demands by giving His life in my stead, and by rising again from the dead. I believe that He paid my debt to you and has declared me "not guilty", and that through Him I can stand before you clean again. Please forgive my sins for His sake, and help me to put my trust in you, to live from now on as a Christian. Teach me the way I should live, and give me strength to do it each day. Thank you for your gift. Thank you for peace. Thank you for your love that will never fail, and that will welcome me before your presence when my life on this Earth is over."

That is it.

Salvation is as simple as "ABC":

 Admitting you have sinned,

          Believing Jesus died for you, and

                 Confessing Him as Lord of your life.

We sincerely hope you prayed that prayer, or one much like it, today. We encourage you to read your Bible and to become involved with fellow believers. And finally, tell someone of your experience [Romans 10:9-10].

May God continue to richly bless you!
