ARE YOU 100% SURE IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?


 

In this UNCERTAIN life, wouldn't it be WONDERFUL IF you could be sure?

 

There are FOUR THINGS from the Bible you must know to be sure of Heaven.

If you do not know these things, in all probability you would not go to Heaven.

 

The 1st THING you must know is "Everyone is a SINNER."

"There is none righteous, no not one: For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:10,23

When Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden of Eden, the human race was then separated from God's

fellowship. Everyone born into the world since that time has been born separated from God, without God in his

life, and with a heart inclined toward sin.

 

 The 2nd THING is that "God has placed a PENALTY ON SIN"

 

"For the wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23

God is holy, Sin offends God. Sin must be punished. "Death" here, means eternal separation from God...

in other words--HELL.

 

We understand then...

1. We are sinners.

2. If we got what we deserved for our sins apart from God's mercy, we would die and go to eternal Hell.

According to the Bible, if you died today where would you go?

 

The 3RD THING you must know is that God has sent His Son to pay OUR sin penalty FOR US.

 

"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

SO, inspite of your sins, your penalty has been paid ALREADY BY SOMEONE ELSE --- The Lord Jesus Christ.

 

FOURTH, you must TRUST Christ to come into your heart, forgive your sins, and make you a child of God.

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on His name" John 1:12

Jesus said, "Behold I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him..." Rev. 3:20

 

 Receiving Christ is like taking a gift.

1. You cannot earn a gift

"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." Ephesians 2:11-12

2. Once you receive Christ into your heart by faith, you are saved and have eternal life.

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" I John 5:11-12

 

YOU CAN REVEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW THROUGH PRAYER (Prayer is talking with God)

 

God is not so much concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. You may want to pray the following prayer.

Dear Lord, realizing that I am a sinner, I do now repent of my sins and put my trust in Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into my heart and cleanse me of my sins and save my soul, Amen.

Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, why don't you pray it right now and Christ will come into your heart just like He promised.

 

HOW TO KNOW THAT CHRIST IS IN YOUR LIFE

 

Did you ask Christ to come into your heart? According to His promise where is He now in relation to you? (Revelation 3:20)

 

THE BIBLE PROMISES ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL WHO RECIEVE CHRIST

 

"These things have I written unto that believe on the name of the Son of God that you may know that ye have eternal life..." l John 5:13

If God says it, then that settles it.

 

NOW THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST MANY THINGS HAPPENED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

 

1. Christ came into your life to live. Revelation 3:20; Colossians 1:27

2. Your sins were forgiven. Colossians 1:14

3. You become a child of God. John 1:12

4. You began the life that God created you for in the beginning. John 10:10; II Corinthians 5:17; and I Thessalonians 5:18

 

The Key to a happy Christian Life is HARMONY and FELLOWSHIP

 

Jesus lives in you to be you Lord and master. Two people must have harmony to live together.

However, if you are not constantly alert, Satan will cause you to sin and your fellowship with God will be broken. Anytime this happens, fellowship may be restored by confessing this sin to God immediately.

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9

 

Babies need to grow.

So do those born into God's family.

 

1. Daily food is essential. --That is the Bible. (Read it daily starting with "Jobn")

2. Rest is a must. --That is daily prayer.

3. Exercise --The way we allow Christ to actively live out His life through us.

    a. by water baptism as a testimony,

    b. by faithful attendance at a Bible teaching church that seeks to get others saved.

 

The Lord Jesus has done something wonderful for you today, hasn't He?

He has saved your soul.
