If You Die Today
Many say,"I know I'm going to Heaven! I've been pretty good, and a loving God wouldn't send me to Hell."
Let's see some of man's thinking and reasoning.
I'm going to Heaven because...
...I obey God's laws and the 10 commandments.
It is impossible to get to heaven this way.
"For we maintain that a man is justified (made "not guilty") by faith apart from observing the law." (Romans 3:19-28)
...I do my best. ...I live a good life. ...I give to charity frequently.
These things will never save you. Only God's mercy will hold back what you deserve.
"He saved us, not because of righteous (good) things we had done, but because of His mercy." (Titus 3:5)
...I pray often. ...I am a church member. ...I attend church regularly.
We cannot be saved by works, regardless of how good or well intentioned. God saves us by His grace. Grace gives what we do not deserve.
"And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." (Romans 11:6)
...I was baptized and receive communion.
Water baptism and communion are for those who are already saved: It is not our work that saves us, but faith and trust in Christ.
"However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness." (Romans 4:5)
...I give my 10% offering to the church. ...I do a lot of good works.
Good works cannot save anyone.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
...I was born to Christian parents.
This cannot save you.
"In other words, it is not the natural children who are God’s children." (Romans 9:8)
...I don't sin.
We are ALL sinners and need a Savior.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
No! None of the above things can save you. YOU can do NOTHING to earn your eternal life in heaven. It is faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ ALONE that can save you. Acts 13:39 - Through Him (Jesus) everyone who believes is justified (made "not guilty") from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
The way to eternal life in heaven is NOT found in what we do ourselves, but by having a perfect righteousness given to us. We receive this when we believe the Lord Jesus Christ took our sins on Himself and paid for them by His death on the cross 2,000 years ago. 2 Corinthians 5:21 - God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
You do NOT receive eternal life in heaven by working for it or trying to make yourself behave perfectly. You receive it by believing the record God gave of His Son, Jesus Christ. Remember, if you disagree with these statements you are calling God a liar. 1 John 5:10,11 - Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
God permits man's destiny to depend on man's choice. Your destiny and your choice! John 3:18 - Whoever believes in Him (Jesus Christ) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, repent of your sins and you will NOT be condemned to hell. You WILL go to heaven… forever. Praise God for that.

Are YOU Going To Heaven?
Are YOU Going To Heaven?
Here Is How You Can Know You Will Be In Heaven With Jesus.
First, the facts:
♦ Christ Died on the Cross... That's History.
♦ Christ Died For YOU... That's Salvation!
God permits man's destiny to depend on man's choice. It's your destiny and your choice! John 3:18 - Whoever believes in Him (Jesus Christ) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Why did God give the world Jesus? How many times have you seen it, heard it or possibly read it. John 3:16. Now read "exactly" what John 3:16 says. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever (that's you) believes in Him shall not perish (eternity in hell) but have eternal life (eternity in heaven)."
What did Jesus die for? He died for all the sin of all men, both male or female. All of us were born with sin as part of our human nature. Easy enough to realize. Watch children. Do you see parents teaching their children to lie, steal, cheat and so on? No! It comes naturally. It's called "sin nature."
God hates sin and He will not let us share a relationship with Him while on earth or in heaven unless we are righteous (sinless). So, how do we become righteous? By our faith in Jesus Christ with repentance.
SIN: Romans 3:22-24 - This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
REPENTANCE: Luke 13:3 - I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Doesn't it make sense to believe on the One who died, was buried and came back from the dead, and trust Him for the payment of your sin? Why not do it now and be sure of going to heaven when you die. God loves you. Right now, why not accept the payment Jesus has made for your sins so you can KNOW you have eternal life? 1 John 5:13 - I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever (your name_____________) believes in Him shall not perish (eternity in hell) but have eternal life (eternity in heaven)."
Acts 2:21 tells us, "And who ever calls on the name of the Lord [ invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord—Jesus Christ ] will be saved." You can do that now by simply saying this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins, and save me. I turn from my sins. I am placing my trust in You alone for my salvation, and I accept Your free gift of eternal life. Amen.
CONGRATULATIONS! There is rejoicing in heaven over your decision. Luke 15:10 - I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. If you are now trusting in Christ alone to be saved - and in nothing else - you have become His workmanship. You should do good works, not to earn eternal life, but because you now have eternal life. You should read the Bible, tell others about Jesus, pray to God in Jesus' name, and attend a Bible believing church.

I Invite You To Choose Jesus NOW, But First I Ask,
"Do You Know Who Jesus IS and What He's DONE?"

You'll hear people say, "I'm going to Heaven when I die."
I like to state it a lot differently. I tell people, "When I die I'm going to be with Jesus."
Do you see the difference? There is no Heaven without Jesus. If you don't accept Jesus you won't ever see Heaven. It will be the alternative. A tormenting Hell.
