Need Direction In
Life?
The Bible Is Your Spiritual
COMPASS
When it comes to spiritual decisions, how do you know which way to go?
You can have confidence in knowing that the Bible will point you in the right direction for going to heaven. Please read and consider the following illustration:
Think of it this way: Suppose you had murdered someone and were standing before the judge being tried for your crime. The judge must be fair and obey the law so he pronounces you guilty and sentences you to death for your crime. Then, the judge takes off his robe, steps down to where you are and says, " I love you. I don't want you to die. I will take your punishment for you. I will die in your place. This is the only way the law can be satisfied and you get set free at the same time." This is what God did. We are guilty of sin, deserving of death and hell, but Jesus took our place. Now, His blood can pay for our sin if we ask Him to save us. All we need to do is believe that He died for us (and rose from the dead) to receive His free gift of eternal life. A free gift has to be received by you in order for it to become yours. Salvation is free to all who call upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Doesn't cost you a dime, but it cost God His Son. Now, you have to choose to receive His gift of eternal life. Man has a free-will to choose, so the choice is yours. Jesus Christ is your only hope of getting to heaven my friend. You must decide and YOU DO have a choice. Won't you trust Him today?

Our sin separates us from God.
"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and
your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
- Isaiah 59:2

But God loves you so much! This is why God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the price for our sin. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6
GOD'S SIMPLE PLAN OF SALVATION
GREAT NEWS!
The Best And
Greatest Decision You'll Ever Make!
God Does Love You And He Proved It By Sending His Son To Die For You
You Can Know You're Going to Heaven! Here's How . . .
A.) First of all, you will spend eternity in one of two places, heaven or hell. It's a choice you will make. Our sin condemns us to hell. We were all born in sin. We are all sinners. The BIBLE says, (Romans 3:23), “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Yes, you too have fallen short of heaven because of your sin. You may be better than many others, but compared to Jesus Christ, "there is none that doeth good." (Romans 3:12). "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23). The word “wage” means payment. Eternal separation from God in hell. Our sin separates us from God. Your “good deeds” will not save you. Hoping your good deeds will outweigh your bad deeds will not get you into heaven. Good works will not get you into heaven (Eph. 2:8-9). God cannot tolerate sin in heaven. So man has a problem. Man cannot get to where God is because of his sin. This is where Jesus Christ comes in. Jesus made the only way for man to get to where God is.
B.) Believe that Jesus died for you and trust Him to save you. "But God commendeth (showed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died FOR US," (Romans 5:8). "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." (Acts 16:31). "He that believeth on Him is not condemned." (John 3:18). "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." (John 3:36). God loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, (John 3:16). God placed all the sin you or I will ever do, on Him. He took our punishment for us. You will make a choice to accept Jesus Christ, or reject Him. You don't have to go to hell, there is one way of escape and it's through Jesus! Jesus is not a way, but the only way to escape hell (John 14:6).
C.) Confess your sins and call upon
Jesus Christ. "That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation...For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved." (Romans 10:9, 10, 13).
This is a promise from God Himself. Whosoever means
YOU! Not . . . whosoever is a
church member, baptized, confirmed, being religious, takes communion or
does the best he or she can, but whosoever shall call believing in Jesus
Christ.
Confess and ask:
Lord Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I have sinned against you. I believe
you died, was buried and rose again to pay for my sins. I'm trusting
totally in You as my personal Savior. You are my only hope of salvation.
Please forgive me of my sins and save me. Lord, I thank you for coming
into my life and saving me today. Amen. (1
John 1:9 and 5:13).
This is all based on the authority of the Bible. If you made a decision
