The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by 40 men over the course of hundreds of years. It is God's personal message to you, and it can all be summed up in one verse . . .
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's Plan
for Salvation
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..." (I John 5:13)​
We all know that death is inescapable. What you may not realize is that death does not mean the end. You are an eternal soul created by a loving God. God desires for you to be reunited with Him in heaven.​
Denied
// Our good is not good enough
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
Heaven is perfect and we are not. No matter how good of a person we think we are, we all have sin on our record.
Romans 3:10, Isaiah 64:6
Guilty
// All our sin must be judged
"For the wages of sin is death;" (Romans 6:23a) "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Revelation 20: 14)
There are only two destinations for eternity; not only has our sin cost us heaven, it has earned us hell.
Revelation 21:8, James 2:10
Forgiven
// Jesus paid it all
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
Jesus' death on the cross was Him taking what we desere. His resurrection, three days later, was Him proving He is God and demonstrating His power over death and hell.
Romans 8:1, Peter 3:18
Accepted
// Welcome to the family of God
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
God never stopped loving you. He is waiting for you to repent (turn) from your sin and respond to His offer, His gift, and His invitation to join Him in heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9, John 6:37
So what do you need to do
to be forgiven, accepted,
and welcomed into heaven?
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
If you know you're a sinner and you believe that Jesus has done everything for you to be saved, talk to Him. Confess your sin and trust his promise of salvation today.
