The Way to Heaven

 

Do you know Christ as your personal Savior?

Have you ever received the Lord Jesus Christ into your life?

 

Realize that God loves you.

God loves you and has a plan for your 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." - John 3:16

 

The Bible says that all men are sinners.

Our sins have separated us from God.

 

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" - Romans 3:23

 

God made man in His own image.  He gave man the ability to choose right from wrong.  We choose to sin. Our sin keeps us from God.

 

God's Word also says that sin must be paid for.

"For the wages of sin is death..." - Romans 6:23

 

Wages means payment.  The payment of our sin is death and hell, separation from God forever.  If we continue in our sin, we shall die without Christ and be without God forever.

 

The Good News is that Christ paid for our sin.

All of our sins were laid on Christ on the cross.  He paid our sin debt for us.  The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, and He arose from the dead.  He is alive forevermore.

 

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8

 

We must personally pray and receive Christ by faith.

The Bible says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." - Romans 10:13

 

Pray and receive Christ as your Savior.

If you are willing to accept Christ as your Savior, pray this simple prayer, meaning it in your heart.

 

"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner.  I repent of my sin and ask You to forgive me.  Please come into my heart and save my soul from Hell.  I am trusting You, and You alone, to take me to Heaven when I die.  Thank You for saving me, Jesus. Help me live for You from this day forward.  In Jesus' Name, Amen."

 

New Life

Everlasting life begins when we receive Christ as our Savior.
