A Very Important Message
The most important question one can consider considering eternity is: "If you died right now, where would you go? If heaven, why?"
The Bible is very clear that God's purpose is that each of us have eternal life. John 3:16 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."
Evangelist Bill Faye outlines 7 Scripture passages that sum up the plan of salvation. They are:
1. Romans 3:23-"All have sinned."
2. Romans 6:23-"The wages of sin is death."
3. John 3:3-"You must be born again."
4. John 14:6-"Jesus said I am the way."
5. Romans 10:9-11-"If you confess...and believe...you will be saved."
6. 2 Corinthians 5:15-"Those that live should no longer live for themselves."
7. Revelation 3:20-"I stand at the door and knock."
Now, if one truly desires salvation he must remember it is a gift and there is nothing one can do to earn it. Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God-not of works, lest any man should boast." To receive God's gift of salvation honestly answer these five questions.
1. Are you a sinner?
2. Do you want forgiveness for yous sins?
3. Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again?
4. Are you willing to surrender your life to Christ?
5. Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life and into your heart?
If you have honestly answered yes to each of these questions after having considered the Scripture above then we invite you to say this prayer.
Heavenly Father, I have sinned against You. I want forgiveness for all my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give You my life to do with as You wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
If you have sincerely prayed this prayer or one similiar then you have received the gift of salvation-welcome to the family of God!
An important thing to remember as it says in 2 Corinthians 5:15 it is no longer your life to live but His. As evidence of giving Jesus control you will want to confess Him publicly and be baptized. Matthew 10:32, "Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father, who is in heaven." Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized..."
