May we ask you an important question?

 “Do you know 100% for sure that if you died today, you would have the assurance of going to Heaven, or do you have any doubt?” 

The Bible was written for us to know how to have our sins forgiven and have the perfect understanding of where we could spend eternity. Here are some Bible verses that will give you what is called the Plan of Salvation.

There are five truths you must understand.

1)      Understand that you are a sinner.

Romans 3:10 “As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one.”

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

The Bible tells us that we all miss the standard by which God judges our lives. We fall short to what is required to be in perfect fellowship with Him. That standard is perfection! Do you believe you are absolutely perfect? Certainly no one would admit that. However, some believe that they have never sinned. Sin is what causes us to be separated from God. And in order to get into Heaven one day, we must admit that we all are sinner.

2)      Understand there is a penalty for your sin.

Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death…”

That word “wages” simply means “a paycheck” or “what you deserve.” After we admit that we are a sinner, it is important to know and understand what happens to a sinner. You see, a sinner cannot enjoy the pleasures of Heaven but unfortunately has to endure the pain and suffering in a place called Hell. The word “death” not only means a physical death but is referred to as the “second death” or being eternally separated from a Holy God. Dear friend, Hell is no laughing matter or a figment of man’s imagination. Hell is a real, literal place where the devil and his demons will spend eternity. Sad to say, many millions of people never dealt with the sin in their lives and forever they are separated from God in a place called Hell. Don’t let your sin be the reason you miss Heaven.

3)      Understand that Jesus paid the penalty of sin for you!

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

Dear friend, God is a Holy God, and He cannot let any sin get into His wonderful Heaven. Yet, God is a loving God who made a way for you and all mankind to escape the torments of Hell. God is not unjust or unloving. But rather, by sending His Son, Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, He proved His great love to us. The Bible tells us that not a greater love has ever been shown to any people as what was done by God for the sins of the whole world.

John 3:16 “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.

God really loves you and He proved it to you by paying the price of your sin!

4)      Understand that Heaven is a free gift!

Romans 6:23b “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Yes, that’s right! Free! Everyone likes free stuff. The greatest gift that was given yet cost so much was the death of Jesus Christ on the behalf of the sins of the entire world. His death was a gift to us who would later become the sinners in need of salvation.

Dear friend, you cannot give money, attend church, live a righteous and ritualistic life, be baptized, nor  be a “good” citizen to get to heaven. Being a Christian is not something you do, it is trusting what has already been done!

Salvation is complete and offered to all people. It is for “whosoever”! Dear friend, that means you! In order to get into heaven, you must simply receive the free gift that God is offering to you today!

You may be asking, “How do I receive such a gift?”

5)      You must turn from you sin and trust Jesus to save you.

Romans 10:13  “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

That word “call” is the idea of someone drowning in the water and is all alone. He is struggling for his next breath while trying to stay alive. With all his strength, he calls out for someone to help and rescue him. He realizes that he cannot help himself, for he is drowning. He has to have the help of another.

My friend, salvation is a matter of you understanding that only One Person can rescue you out of the sin that you are drowning in. That Person is Jesus. If you call out to Him, according to God’s Word, He will save you! He will rescue you. He will pull you out of the sin that is leading you to eternal separation from God.
 

Now this is your part! 
 

Sample Prayer:

“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I understand that because of this, I only deserve to go to a place called Hell. The best I know how, I turn from my sin and trust you to save me. Thank you for dying on the cross so I could be saved. Thank you for raising yourself from the dead so I can know what it means to be victorious over the sin that is in my life. Help me as I begin my new life in You! In Jesus name, Amen!”
