| What if YOU died tonight? |
have you ever thought about it?
what would happen to you?
where would you go?
where would you spend eternity?
some would say we can't know for sure
others say they "hope" they will go to Heaven
but the Good News is
WE CAN KNOW!
That's right ... we CAN know, I KNOW
and I want to share with you how you too can KNOW
Do we have to go to a certain church? NO
Do we have to be baptized? NO
Do we have to follow a certain set of rules? NO
What if I am a "good person" ... will that do it? NO
A
ll these things are nice, they are good things,
but they won't get us into Heaven!
Let's look at what God says .... after all, it's His Heaven
and He should be able to tell us how to get there,
wouldn't you agree?

God tells us in His Word, the Bible,
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23)
How many have sinned? ALL have sinned, that includes you! That means you have to realize and admit you are a sinner.
There is a penalty that must be paid for sin.
"For the wages of sin is death"
(Romans 6:23)

This death is called the second death and Revelation 21:8 tells us what it is and who will go.
"The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death"
The second death is eternal separation from God in a literal HELL!
We read the word murderers, and also liars. A person only has to murder once to be a murderer, as well as a liar only must lie once to be a liar. The above verse says ALL LIARS, that just above covers everyone.
So is there any hope for Heaven?

The answer is YES!!! This is the Good News!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8)
Jesus was the pure sacrifice who shed His blood to pay the sacrifice, before a holy God, for your sin and mine. He says ...
"I am the way, the truth and the life
no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
(John 14:6)

God wants to give you the gift of Eternal Life in Heaven.
There is nothing you can do to earn it, you don't deserve it, but
IT IS YOURS! All you have to do is accept it.
"But the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE
through Christ Jesus the Lord"
(Romans 6:23)

Why would God do that? Again, we find our answer in the Bible.
John 3:16-18
- "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.
- For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
- He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Accept God's FREE GIFT of salvation, believe that Jesus is Lord and ask Him to save you from sin and give you Eternal Life.
Romans 10:9-10, 13
- "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 whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Remember I said, you CAN know for sure, that is because God says ...
"These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life."
(1 John 5:13)

| Call upon the Lord Jesus now in prayer. Tell Him that you believe that He is the Son of God and you believe that He died and rose from the dead for you, and that right now you want to receive Him into your life as your personal savior. |
Now that you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior,
please email use so we can rejoice with you in your salvation.
