Man, we're glad you clicked over! You are looking for something! You might not even really know what it is, but you are tired of wondering about the future. Are you going to heaven or hell?
This is a pressing question today, especially when many are saying that "all roads lead to heaven." Here is the truth according to Jesus. He said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."
That is hard-hitting! But it is the truth. Otherwise Jesus is a liar! You have come this far. We want you to know that God loves you! You and I were separated from Him by our sin. And He wants to get that relationship fixed. That is why He sent Jesus.
Consider the following: |
| Recognize you have sinned. |
| First, you must admit your spiritual need: "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). We can't make excuses or blame others and our circumstances for our actions. "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23). |
| Realize that Jesus died in your place for your sin |
| "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God..." (I Peter 3:18). Jesus paid the price for your sin. The Apostle Paul said, "...the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). |
| Repent of your sins. |
| The word "repent" means "to change your direction." The Bible tells us, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19). God commands us to repent. You must be willing to turn away from the things that displease God. |
| Accept Jesus as your Savior. |
| Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). It is essential that you come to Jesus as you are. Don't try to "clean up your life" before you come to God. Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the "cleansing." Jesus said, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37). |
| Perhaps you are ready to take this life-changing step. It is as simple a praying the following prayer: |
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sin. I repent of it and turn to you by faith right now. I thank you for dying on the cross for me and paying the price for all of my sins. I ask you to come into my life right now and be my Savior, my Lord and my Friend. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Help me be your disciple from now on. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
