Heaven Is A Free Gift
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans
6:23 )
We can't earn our way to heaven and none of us really deserves to go.
It is a gift.

We Are All
Sinners
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
(Romans
3:23)
Every person who has ever lived has missed God's standard of
perfection.

He
Loves Us
"God is love." (1 John 4:8)
While God loves us and doesn't want to punish us, we should also know
that, as a just God, He must punish sin.
"The soul who sins shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4)

God
Balanced Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)
Jesus is the infinite God-man, God in the flesh. He died on the cross
and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase
a place for us in heaven, which He offers as a free gift.

The Gift
Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith
Saving faith is not merely intellectual assent. It is trusting in
Jesus Christ alone and what He has done rather than what we can do to
get us to heaven. "What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." (Acts 16:30b & 31)
The Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved." You can do that now by simply praying:
|
 |
|
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But
I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in
heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life,
forgive my sins, and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone
for my salvation, and I accept your free gift of eternal life. |
| |
|
If this
prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at the promise of
Jesus: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has
eternal life." (John 6:47) If you, having read this,
have now trusted Jesus for eternal life, please let us
know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you
to grow spiritually. Please call us at (501) 455-3474 or
