Where will you ​spend eternity?
We live in such a fast-paced world where life is busier than ever. If we're not careful, we can easily get caught up in the rush of the day's events and then wonder where the time went. We constantly think about what is next, but do we ever stop and consider what is next after this life?
The Bible teaches that our life is like a vapor "that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." ​(James 4:14)
Where you will spend eternity is THE single most important question you will ever consider.
Are you going to Heaven? The good news is you CAN know for sure!
Romans 3:10​
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."​
Romans 3:23​
​"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ​​
The Bible teaches that God created man in His own image and that man was made perfect. Man walked with God in the Garden and was given a commandment not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
When they disobeyed God in the Garden, man fell from perfection and brought the curse of sin into the world.
Romans 5:12
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
​They not only brought the curse upon themselves, but it was passed to all mankind. Because of that, every person who has ever lived has been born separated from God.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death..."​
The curse brought a penalty. Physical death is part of it, but far worse than that is the other part - spiritual death. The wages, or the payment, for our sins is spiritual death, or eternal separation from God, in a literal place of firey torment called Hell.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The Bible clearly teaches that there is absolutely nothing we can do on our own to work, earn, or deserve our way into Heaven. We are wholly incapable and unworthy. Some people think they can do enough good deeds or become religious. None of these things are sufficient. Man must be redeemed and restored to God, but we can't do that ourselves. So...is there really any hope? Yes! God had a plan to redeem mankind and that's where God's grace gives hope to the hopeless!
Romans 5:8​
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
The good news is that it is not God's desire or intent for man to have to face spiritual death and Hell! He wants us to have fellowship with Him and be in Heaven, but our sin condition must be dealt with first. The Bible teaches that, even though we are sinners with no way to go to Heaven on our own, God still sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross.​
Romans 6:23​
"...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus ​Christ our Lord." ​
On the cross, Jesus shed His blood and faced the judgment of God that we rightly deserved. His blood alone had the power to pay the price required of God to redeem you and I. Because God Himself paid the price, the gift of salvation is freely offered to all who will simply believe and accept it.
Romans 10:13​
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
With sincerity of heart, bow your head, pray, and:
1.) Confess and acknowledge to God that you are a sinner.
2.) Believe that Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for your sins, and rose from the dead three days later.
3.) Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ by faith and accept Him as your Savior.
But will God really save me? How can I be sure?
Romans 10:9​
"That 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."
The good news is that it is not God's desire or intent for man to have to face spiritual death and Hell! He wants us to have fellowship with Him and be in Heaven, but our sin condition must be dealt with first. The Bible teaches that, even though we are sinners with no way to go to Heaven on our own, God still sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross.​
