THE TIME IS NOW
Make a decision for Jesus Christ, do it today!!!!!!!
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
In the Bible it says …….Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2
The time has come where you must make your decision for Jesus Christ. Accept the payment made by the Lord Jesus Christ for your sins.
Jesus also said; In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
God's word assures us of Heaven, but it also warns us of a place of torment. Revelation 20:15 says…whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. God does not want anyone to spend eternity in hell. We are told that He is … not willing that any should perish… 2 Peter 3:9
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1John 5:13 God has provided everything we need to spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13
But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Galatians 3:22
God is Holy, He cannot tolerate sin because of His Holiness---He is completely without any wrong. Sin is more than a crime it is a transgression against God. Even though you may be a very moral person, the Bible says that you are still a sinner. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; Romans 3:10
Is it enough to keep the commandments???
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. James 2:10
What is the end result of sin???
Spiritual death. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
The Bible tells us that hell will be a terrible place filled with anguish and pain beyond any human"s comprehension. Jesus told His disciples that, The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42
What cleanses us from all sin??? The shed blood of Jesus Christ. When John the Baptist first saw Jesus he proclaimed, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29 Jesus Christ was the final and ultimate sacrifice. The blood of His sacrifice doesn’t cover our sin; it totally cleanses us of our sin.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
Is Jesus the only way to salvation???
Yes, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. John 3:36
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 When a person accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Savior he is born again. Spiritually, he is born from above and becomes a member of God’s family. The Bible states, But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:12
Be Reborn Again.
God has made a way that everyone can be assured of eternal life in Heaven. Now is your time to answer the most important question; Have you been born again???
In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. John 3:3
What does a person need to do in order to be born again???????
Simply Repent, Believe, Ask and Receive.
Repent: Repent of your sin, you must admit to God you are a sinner deserving of hell because of your sin. Repentance is also a sincere turning away from sin to God.
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. Acts 26:20
Believe: Truly believing is placing your complete confidence in Jesus and His ability to save you.
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9-10
Ask: for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 To call upon the Lord is to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sin and save you from an eternity in hell. You must pray and ask: for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Romans 10:10
Receive: To receive something you must take it. Salvation is offered as a free gift from God. Like any gift it is not yours until you receive it.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
If you accept the payment made by the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for your sin then simply bow your head and tell Jesus in your own words that you are sorry for your sins and ask Jesus to forgive you and save you from everlasting punishment, hell. Tell Jesus you are willing to receive Him as your Lord and Savior and want to accept His gift of eternal life.
No matter what you have done, Jesus Christ will never turn anyone away.
In 2 Peter 3:9 the Bible says, The Lord is… not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Amen, Alleluia!!!!!!!
