A Word From the Pages of Scripture
We all live…
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”
James 4:14
We all die…
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
Hebrews 9:27
We have all sinned…
“As is is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” - Romans 3:10
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;” - Romans 3:23
We are all condemned because of sin…
“For the wages of sin is death;”
Romans 6:23
BUT…
Christ died on the cross for our sins…
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Roman 5:8
Christ offers salvation to all…
“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.”
John 3:16
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
Christ offers salvation by faith…
“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.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
“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
Have you trusted Christ alone as your Saviour?
Do you know, without a doubt, that if your life ended today that you would spend eternity in heaven?
If you cannot answer a confident yes to those questions, please read the scriptures that are given again.
If you would accept Christ as your Saviour, then confess to God that you are a sinner, deserving Hell, and that you believe Jesus died for your sins on the cross of Calvary and that you are trusting His shed blood and death on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins. You may pray something like this:
Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that I deserve to go to Hell. But I believe that you shed your blood and died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Jesus, the best I know how, I trust you completely to save my soul. I will depend on you from this moment on for my salvation. Now help me to live for You and to be a faithful Christian. I ask this in your name, Amen.
If you have accepted Christ as your personal Saviour, please write and let us know of your decision so that we may pray with and for you.
