DO YOU KNOW GOD'S WAY TO HEAVEN?

GOD LOVES YOU and desires that you:

1. Have eternal life with Him. John 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only  begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

2.  Have an abundant life.  John10:10 Jesus is speaking " I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly."

BUT most people are'nt experiencing a meaningful life and aren't sure that they have

eternal life because...

Man has a SIN problem which SEPARATED him from GOD..

1.  Every one has siinned.  Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of

     God."

2.  The penalty for sin is DEATH.  Roman 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death..."

     The Bible talks about two kinds of death.  The first death is physical.  The second

     death is spiritual or eternal separation from God. Revelation 21:8 " But for the cowardly  and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral person and sorcerers and  idolaters and ALL LIARS, their part will be the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the Second Death."

    Since sin separated mand from God, what is the solution to his problem?

JESUS CHRIST is GOD'S ONLY way to heaven.

1.   He is the ONLY way. In  John 14:6 Jesus said" I am the Way, and the truth, and the

     Life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."

2.  He COMPLETELY PAID the penalty of your sins. 1 Peter 3:18 " For Chirst also died for

     sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that he might bring us to God."

3.  His Resurrection proves that He is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Only Savior.    

     Romans 1:3-4 "concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according

     the flesh, who was declared the Son Of God with power by the resurrection from the

     dead, according to the Spirit of Holiness, Jesus Christ Our Lord"

4.  He promises Eternal Life.  Jesus Himself said in John 11:25-26, " I am the

     the  resurrecrtion and the life; he who believed in Me shall live even if he dies, and

     everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die."

     Merely knowing about what Jesus Christ has done for us is not enough.

WE must place our FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST to save us

1.  You are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

     Ephesians 2:8-9 " For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of

     yourselves, it is the GIFT OF GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should boast."

     To be saved by faith means to TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE to save you.  Good

     works are not the means to salvation, rather they are the evidence or by-products of

     your salvation.

2.  Show your faith in Jesus Christ by accepting His gift of eternal life.  Revelations 3:20,

    Jesus is speaking: Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice my

    voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me."

    Jesus says that  He will come into your heart if you invite Him in.  That is  His promise

    to you and  He will always keep His promise!

3.   Prove the sincerity of your faith by turning away from a life of sin.  Acts 26:20 " I

      preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their

      deeds."  A person who genuinely asks for forgiveness will seek to change his ways.

      God knows we are not perfect but the sincerity of our faith will move us to live lives that show our gratitude to God for His free gift to heaven

You can pray this simple prayer to express your faith in Jesus Christ and receive Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior.  You only have to  pray this prayer once but with sincerity because when He enters your life, he will never leave you.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I need You. I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross to pay for all my sins. With your help, I will turn away from all my sins.  Please come into my life and be my Lord and Savior.  I accept you free gift of eternal life.  Make me the kind of person you want me to be.  Thank you for coming into my life and giving me eternal Life. Amen

Dear Friend, you can see from Signs of Our Times that The Lord is Coming Soon.  It might be tonight  No one knows when... Pour your heart to God right now when there is still time for We don't know what happens tommorrow.  I will back you up in Prayer.
