| My
friend, I am asking you the most important question of your life.
Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good
you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are
you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God
says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7,
Jesus said to Nicodemus, Ye must be born again.
In the
Bible, God gives us the plan of how to be born again, which means
to be saved. His plan is simple! You can saved today. But how?
First,
my friend, you must realize that you are a sinner. For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
Because
you are a sinner, you are condemned to die: For the wages [payment]
of sin is death. (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation
from God, in Hell.
Further,
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
(Hebrews 9:27)
But
God loved you so much that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus,
to bear your sin and die in your place: For he hat made him [Jesus,
who knew no sin] to be sin for us...that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him. (II Corinthians 5:21)
Jesus
had to shed his blood and die. For the life of the flesh is in
the blood (Leviticus 17:11). Further, without shedding of
blood is no remission [pardon]. (Hebrews 9:22)
But
God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins
were laid upon Jesus, and he died in our place. He became our substitute.
It is true; God cannot lie.
My friend,
God...now commandeth all men every where to repent (Acts 17:30)
In
Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas Sirs,
what must I do to be saved? and they said, Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
Simply
believe on him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place,
was buried, and whom God resurrected.
His
resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting
life when Jesus is received as Savior.
But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on his name. (John 1:12)
For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans
10:13)
Whosoever
includes you! Shall be means not maybe, nor can,
but shall be saved.
Surely,
you realize that you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are,
repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke
18:13, a sinner prayed God be merciful to me a sinner. Just
pray: "Oh, God, I know I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus
was my substitute when he died on the cross. I believe his shed
blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive
him as my Savior. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins, the
gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of your merciful
grace. Amen."
Just
take God at his word and claim his salvation by faith. Believe,
and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save
you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God's
simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless
you believe on Jesus who died in your place, you will spend eternity
in Hell. If you believe on him as your crucified, buried, and risen
Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and his gift
of eternal salvation by faith.
You
say, "Surely, it cannot be that simple!" Yes, that simple.
It is scriptural; it is God's plan. My friend, believe on Jesus
and receive him as Savior today.
If his
plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without
laying it down until you understand it. Your soul is worth more
than all the world.
For
what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36)
Be sure
you are saved. If you lose your sould, you miss Heaven and lose
all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.
God's
power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious
Christian life. There hath not temptation taken you but that
such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (I Corinthians
10:13) Do not trust your feelings; they change. Stand on God's
promises; they never change. After you are saved, there are
three things to practice daily for spiritual growth: Pray; you talk
to God. Read your Bible; God talks to you. Witness; you talk for
God.
You
should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, as a public
testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing
church without delay. Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony
of our Lord. (II Timothy 1:8)
Whosoever
therefore shall confess [testify of] me before men, him will I confess
also before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32)
If you
have gotten saved through reading through this tract, I would like
to hear from you and send you a free booklet that will help you
grow as a Christian. I will also do my best to put you in contact
with a friendly Bible-preaching church in you area. Please write
to me and let me know of your decision today!
