the good news

 

If I were to ask you where you would spend eternity if you died right now what would be your answer? If you are not sure or even hesitated, these are indications that you have never been saved from your sins. Why? Because 1st John 5:13 says, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

The scripture teaches that if you are saved you will know it. That means if you are not sure or you hesitated, more than likely your soul is still eternally lost. Why do I need to be saved you might say? Saved from what? I’m doing fine. Not according to God’s Word. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This means that all of us are guilty of sin before God unless our sins have been forgiven. But how are our sins forgiven? Only one way according to God’s Word: through the blood of Jesus Christ. Leviticus 17:11 says that it is only blood that takes away sin, and it has to be perfect blood that has never been tainted with sin.

There is only one man who ever lived perfectly and that was Jesus Christ. And by the spilling of His blood in our place on the cross God will accept any who takes that sacrifice for their sin. The Bible says that you stand guilty before God unless your sins are removed. Have your sins been removed? It can only be done through Jesus, but He stands ready right now to forgive you by His sacrifice for the sins of the world. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.”

Will you accept Jesus’ sacrifice for you today? If you would like to have your sins forgiven and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will go to heaven simply pray this prayer from your heart: Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and that I stand guilty before God. But I also know and believe that You died for my sins taking my place on the cross. I accept Your sacrifice for me. Please forgive me, come into my heart, and be my Lord and my Savior, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Congratulations! If you just prayed that prayer from your heart you are forgiven and on your way to heaven eternally! We would love to talk with you and to give you some information on how to begin your new life in the Lord. So please contact us and let us know that you have not only received Jesus into your life, but leave us an address that we may contact you. God bless you, and see you in the Kingdom!
