First, Romans 3:23 tells us that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Most people can quickly recognize something in their life where they have sinned. Sometimes however we think that we're not so bad. After all, I haven't killed anyone or robbed a bank or raped anyone, I'm not so bad. This may appear to us to be true, but from God's perspective we are told in Isaiah 64:6 that "But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags;" Looking at us from God's perspective, we can see that we are all sinners in his sight. Again in Romans 3:10 we are told, "as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." Second, Romans 6:23 tells us that "The wages of sin [is] death;" When we die we will spend eternity somewhere, either Heaven or Hell. This "death" the Bible speaks of is eternity in Hell. If you are like me, when you work all week, you expect to get paid. |
If my employer contracted to pay me $10 an hour, and I worked 40 hours, I would expect to receive $400.If he tried to give me anything else, I wouldn't except it. Anything else would not meet the required payment. "The wages of sin [is] death;" nothing else will pay the sin debt. Not church membership, not baptism, not being good, only death will pay the debt of sin. You cannot save yourself! You have God's word on that! Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Not of works, least any man should boast." The third thing God wants us to know is found in Romans 5:8. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." You should read that again! it said CHRIST DIED FOR US, Christ paid the sin debt for us. |
Who died for our sins? Christ died for our sins. Who should die for our sins? We should die for our sins. Commendeth means that God showed or demonstrated his love for us. He didn't say we had to stop sinning, then he would show his love. He showed his love before we did anything. Does that mean that we will all automatically go to Heaven? No. Let's look at the fourth thing God wants us to know. This brings us to Romans 10:13 which says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Who is whosoever? That's me, that's you, that's anyone. What happens when you call upon the name of the Lord? You SHALL be saved. It doesn't say maybe will be saved or could be saved, it says SHALL be saved. That's a very definite statement. You need to be saved. Won't you, right now, accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour? |
If you will sincerely from your heart, admit that you are a sinner, repent of your sins, trust that Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins and ask Him to save you, you can be assured that you will spend eternity in Heaven. How do you pray and ask Jesus to save you? Pray like this: "Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and I believe that You died for my sins, and the best I know how, I invite You into my heart and my life as my personal Saviour. Thank you for saving me, Jesus." This is the most important decision you will make in your life time. In 150 years from now, who will care about anything else you have done? Delaying to make this decision is actually a decision to reject Jesus Christ and is a decision you may have to live with for eternity if something were to happen to you tonight. |

Let me demonstrate the importance of this decision by asking two simple questions. If You Died Today,... Where Would You Go? How Can You be 100% Sure That You Will go to Heaven? Let's see what the Bible has to say on this subject. The simple answer is found in Ephesians 2:8-9. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." |
