Good News
I'm convinced that I have some
exceedingly good news for you. This news doesn't cost a penny, there are no
strings attached and it could inevitably change your life forever. If you want
to hear this good news, all you have to do is answer two brief but very
important questions. After you answer the questions, good news will
follow.
Here's the first
question:
Have you come to the place in
your spiritual life where you know for SURE, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that
you have eternal life?
Now for the second question..
You answered YES! The Bible tells
us that we can know for sure that we're going to heaven! Take a
look:
These things I have written to
you that you may KNOW that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13
Now here's the second and final
question. It's a bit harder than the first. Just try to answer it as honestly
as you possibly can.
Suppose you were to die tonight
and stand before God... what would you say if He asked you "Why should I let
you into my heaven?"
I'm
without fault. I deserve to go to heaven.
I've
been nearly perfect. God will overlook the few mistakes in my
life.
I've
always been very good. I tried to follow the 10 commandments.
I
haven't really been that bad. I never hurt anyone and God will overlook
the things I've done wrong because he's a loving God.
I cannot
enter heaven on my own merit.
I don't
know what I would say.
Now for the second question...
Your answer indicated that you
aren't so sure about heaven. Now I KNOW you're going to like the news I have
for you! But before I give you the good news, let me share with you something
very interesting. The Bible tells us we can know for sure that we're going to
heaven! That means YOU! Take a look:
These things I have
written to you that you may KNOW that you have eternal life. 1
John 5:13
This means that we don't have to
guess about life after death. If there's one thing you really want to be sure
of in this life, it's where you'll be going after it's over. Fortunately, the
Bible tells we can be certain about heaven!
Here's the second and final
question. It's a bit harder than the first. Just try to answer it as honestly
as you possibly can.
Suppose you were to die tonight
and stand before God... what would you say if He asked you "Why should I let
you into my heaven?"
I've
been nearly perfect. God will overlook the few mistakes in my
life.
I've
always been very good. I tried to follow the 10 commandments.
I
haven't really been that bad. I never hurt anyone and God will overlook
the things I've done wrong because He's a loving God.
I cannot
enter heaven on my own merit.
I don't
know what I would say.
Thanks for answering my questions..
Now here's the good news that I
promised. The good news is: Heaven is a completely FREE gift! All of
your life you may have been under the impression that God is weighing your
good deeds against your bad deeds and that in the end He will either welcome
you into heaven or NOT based on the outcome. The good news is that our future
does not have to hang in the balances depending on our performance. In a world
full of constant pressure this really should help to relieve some of the heat!
The Bible tells us:
... the GIFT of God is
eternal life ... Romans 6:23
As we all know a genuine gift is
completely free. That means you could never WORK for the gift of eternal life
no more than you could work for a birthday gift or an anniversary gift,
etc....
I want to stop here for just a
minute and say something. The fact that you're reading this is NOT an
accident. I believe that God has lots more good news for you. Please don't
stop now.. Continue and find out WHY heaven is a free gift and find out how
to receive it.
Why is Heaven free?
Here's what the Bible has to say
about it:
By grace you have been
saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is a GIFT of God, NOT OF
WORKS, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9
There's that word again - GIFT.
It's clear that heaven is a gift of God. But why can't we earn
it?
Unfortunately, even if we wanted
to earn our place in heaven, we couldn't because man is a sinner.. The Bible
tells us:
All have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
This rules out the possibility of
us saving ourselves. The only way we could ever earn our way to heaven... is
if we could be completely PERFECT for all time. Unfortunately, the Bible tells
us:
Whoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James
2:10
And I'm sure, if you're honest
with yourself, you've sinned at least once in your life. It doesn't matter how
large or small the sin was. Sin IS sin, and sin will keep you out of heaven.
But don't lose heart! Continue reading to see the brighter side.. remember
heaven is a FREE gift..
God is Merciful
Fortunately for us, God doesn't
want to punish us because He is merciful and full of love.
God is love... 1 John
4:8b
BUT, there is another absolute
truth about God. He is just, therefore it's His obligation to punish
SIN.
I will by no means clear the
guilty... Exodus 34:7b
I know by now you're wondering...
where's the good news in all this? How can heaven be a free gift? How can I go
to heaven?
If man's a sinner...
And he can't save
himself...
And even though God loves
us...
He must punish our
sin...
Just hang on.. the answer to our
problem is just one click away...
That's what Jesus is for!
God sent his Son into the world
to remedy this problem. To understand God's plan you must first understand who
Jesus really is.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is
in fact GOD in the flesh..
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God... and the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.. John 1:1,14
God entered time and space in the
form of Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless perfect life. When He died on the
cross, he took our place and actually paid the penalty that was intended for
US! Then he did something that no one else has ever done. He arose from the
dead and now He offers US the privilege of eternal life as a GIFT. The trick
is receiving that gift.
Faith is the Answer
To receive this precious gift of
eternal life you must have saving faith. Saving faith is NOT just believing
certain historical facts about Jesus' life.
Saving faith is NOT even trusting
God for all your needs (financial, physical, emotional, etc.)
Saving faith IS trusting in Jesus
Christ alone for SALVATION. It means you're depending on Him alone, NOT on
yourself, to get to heaven. This way, we don't get the credit for it, God does
and rightly so.
Now the big question is... Do you
want to receive this gift?
Would you like to receive this gift?
If you really want to receive
God's gift of eternal life all you have to do is:
- Transfer your trust
from what you've been doing all your life to what Jesus has done for you
already by his death on the cross.
- Receive the RESURRECTED
and LIVING Christ as SAVIOR and LORD.
- Repent of your sins.
This means that you must be willing to turn from anything that is not
pleasing to God. Eliminating sin from your life doesn't happen over night
and in fact you'll never be perfect, but if you're genuinely willing to
allow God to be Master and King, then He will change you over time.
Don't turn back now. God has
brought you to this point and He's revealed His amazing plan to you. You
should feel privileged and honored. He really loves YOU. All you have
to do is reach out and take His gift of eternal life.
Now if this is really what you
want...
It's time to Pray...
God promises to save everyone who
calls on his name. He won't turn anyone away.
For whoever calls upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:10,13
Pray with me right now, right
where you are. Don't delay. You may never get this opportunity
again...
Lord Jesus Christ, I confess that
I'm a sinner and I do not deserve to go to heaven. But, I believe that you
died on the cross and arose from the dead to pay the penalty of MY sins and
that you purchased a place in heaven just for me. Please forgive me of my sins
and become the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins and I'm trusting in YOU
for my salvation. I accept YOUR gift of eternal life. Thank You. In Jesus
Name. Amen.
If you accepted God's Gift - Congratulations!
Most assuredly, I
say to you, he who believes
in Me has
everlasting life. John 6:47
Welcome to the family of God!
But as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe
in His name. John 1:12
Mark this day in your calendar.
Your life will never be the same! There are a few things you should do in
order to learn more about God.
- You should read the
Bible every day. The book of John is a good place to start.
- You should pray all the
time. Talk to God like you would talk to a close friend. In fact, He is your
best friend.
- Worship regularly in a
local church.
- Fellowship with other
Christians who will help you grow in the faith.
- Tell others about your
experience with Jesus Christ!
Congratulations!
I am a new child of God! Please contact me and send me
information to help me in my walk with Jesus Christ.

Questions/Comments
Not on Your Own
You're absolutely right! Nobody
can get to heaven because of who they are or what they've done or how good
they've been.
If you think that the only way to
heaven is by trusting Jesus Christ then click here,
otherwise, click here
for a full explanation of how you can be sure of eternal security in
heaven.
Jesus is the only way!
According to your answers it
appears that you have an understanding of God's plan of salvation through
Jesus Christ for mankind. BUT, for whatever reason, you don't know for SURE
that you're going to heaven.
If you've heard God's plan before
and you weren't ready yet to receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour, then I want
to take a moment to remind you that you have no guarantee of tomorrow. You
need to settle the issue of eternal life NOW before it's too late. Repeatedly
rejecting Christ is not a wise decision. God brought you to this point. Please
don't say no again. Click
here to refresh your memory about what Christ has to offer you.
Maybe at one point in your life
you did KNOW you were going to heaven, but now you think that for some reason
you've lost your way or you've fallen out of favor with God. The Bible
says:
I give them eternal life,
and they shall never perish; no one can snatch themout of my hand. - John
10:28
Please don't underestimate God's
love for you. His grace and forgiveness extend beyond our comprehension.

Heaven Bound!
So, you know you're heaven bound!
You also know you can't get there because of who you are, or what you've done
or how good you've been. Hopefully, you've already discovered that the only
sure way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. If this is NOT the case, then I
believe that God has brought you to this place for a reason. Please click
here to find out what Jesus Christ has in store for you.
If you've already accepted Jesus
Christ as your Savior, then you probably already know how good the news of
Jesus Christ really is. It's hard for us to understand the depths of God's
love for us until we have taken that critical step of faith toward
God.
You should also be aware that the
GOOD NEWS doesn't stop after your first encounter with Christ. If you read
God's
Word, you'll be renewed and
refreshed with good news and countless promises
every single day.
