"Only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last"
If you died
today do you know for sure that you are going to heaven?
Have
you ever asked Jesus to come into your heart, or are you not sure if
you
have? Would you like to be saved and go to Heaven? Why
yes, of course
you would, because we all have sinned sometime in our lives
and therefore in God's eyes we have a dark heart, and God won't allow a
sinner into Heaven. Under the Law of the Old Testament, breaking just
one of Gods laws, or commandments puts us in a condition not fit for
Heaven. Rom
3:23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God, Rom 6:23 For
the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal.But
here
is the good news - with the New Testament, or covenant, Jesus has
redeemed us from the curse of the old Law. Know that Jesus
loves us and has paid the price for our sins by taking the rap for us
and taking our place by dying for us on the cross. Rom 5:8 But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. To accept his free gift for us, we
need to tell him and ask Him to come into our hearts. Rom 10:9 That if thou
shalt 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 the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him
shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and
the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon
him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Speak to
Him with a prayer such as this one, and mean it with your heart, and
you will be saved: "Lord
Jesus, I know that you are the son of God. You died on the cross for my
sins and rose again from the dead. I'm sorry for my sins, and I ask you
to forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart and save me from hell. Thank you Jesus."Joh
10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 2Ti
1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling,
not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
Now That You Are Saved - Rejoice With This Song:
How
To Save Children
Children must
be saved.
Mark
9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth
me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent
me. Luke 18:16 But Jesus
called them unto him, and said, Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the
kingdom of God.Children
at the age of accountability need
to hear the
Gospel and ask Jesus to come into their hearts and be saved. Rev 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he
with me. To
save the children,
we must witness to them, and keep it very simple. 1) Explain to them
what Heaven is like - that there is no night and darkness there, there
is no sickness there, there are no mean bad people there, etc.. 2) Next
ask them if they would like to go to Heaven. After they say yes, then
tell them that they can't go, because they have sinned and have a dark
heart. They will then think "What have I done wrong to sin?" Next asked
them if they have ever taken something that wasn't theirs. Such as
"Ever play with another kids toy and not give it back?" (convict them
of stealing). Next ask them if they ever told something that just
wasn't the truth. A question like "Do you know what happened to your
brothers cookie that I had for him on the table?" and you
said "I
don't know" - but you did know? (Convict them of the sin of
lying) 3) Let them know that they can get to Heaven
because
Jesus loves them and has paid the price for their sins. Explain to them
that if you were knocking on their front door and they knew it was your
voice and it was you, would they open the door and let you in? They
will say "Yes". Jesus needs to be asked in too. Explain to
them
that they can open the door to let Jesus in by saying (repeating after
you) : "Lord
Jesus, I know that you are God's son. You died on the cross for my
sins and rose again from the dead. I'm sorry for my sins, and I ask you
to forgive me of my sins, and come into my heart and save me from hell. Thank you Jesus."
