If You Died Today,
Would You Go To Heaven?
That is the most important question
you will ever answer. The answer must be a simple
YES or NO. There is no in between. It matters not
who your mom or dad is, how many times you have been
baptized, how many churches you have joined or how
many good deeds you have done. NONE of these things
will get you into heaven when you die! In fact, no
one is good enough for heaven….
We Are All Sinners!
That’s right, we are all sinners. “For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;” Romans 3:23. We have no
righteousness in ourselves. Our good deeds,
our best points of character can never elevate us
high enough in God’s eyes. Friend, you can’t EARN
heaven… “As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one:There is none that
understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together
become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.” Romans 3:10-12
You Are A Sinner!
According to the Bible, you are a sinner and
there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
But God Loves Sinners!
That’s the good news. Even though you are still
in your sin. Even though you cannot do enough good
to lift you out of sin, God Loves You! That is the
root of the gospel.
“For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” John 3:16
You see, God hates sin!
God must judge sin! No sin, big or small, hidden or
open will escape God’s judgment! But in spite of
all your sin, GOD STILL LOVES YOU! God loves you so
much He gave His own Son to die in your place!
That’s right, you deserve to die but Jesus, the son
of God, died for you! Jesus Christ paid the
ultimate price for you.
“For when we were yet
without strength, in due time Christ died for the
ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one
die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even
dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us.”
Romans 5:6-8
God Demonstrated His Love
toward us by sending His Son. Christ went to the
cross to die for you because He Loves You!
“Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God…” I
John 3:1
“But
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;)” Ephesians 2:4-5
It Is Your Decision
God leaves it up to you to decide. If you
believe that God sent His son for you. If you
believe that Christ died for your sins. Then admit
you are a sinner and confess your sins to God.
“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
If you will confess your
sins, God Will Forgive Your Sins! The penalty for
your sins has been paid. All you have to do is
believe and confess and accept Jesus Christ as your
saviour!
The whole process is called
repentance. “Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out...”
Acts 3:19 Repent means to turn from your
sins and sinful lifestyle and turn toward God. It
is a change of direction. My friend if you will
repent, confess your sins, it will change your
life! You will never be the same person again. It
will change your direction! You will KNOW you would
go to heaven if you died right now!
Let me encourage you to seek
God today! Don’t put it off another moment. Once
you do you will feel the load of sin roll from you
and you don’t ever have to go back! Contact us and
we would be glad to talk to you about your soul and
try to put you in touch with a good church in your
area.
