Grace: Heaven Is A Free Gift
"The
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans
6:23. We can't earn our way to heaven, and none of
us really deserves to go. It is a gift. Ephesians
2:8,9
Man:
We Are All Sinners
"All have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans
3:23
Every person who has ever lived has missed
God's standard of perfection.
God: He Loves Us
"God is love." 1 John 4:8
While God loves us and
doesn't want to punish us, we should also know that,
as a just God, He must punish sin. "The soul who
sins shall die." Ezekiel 18:4
Christ: God
Balanced Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
Jesus is the infinite God-man, God in the flesh. He
died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the
penalty for our sins and to purchase a place for us
in heaven, which He offers as a free gift.
Faith: The Gift
Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith
Saving faith is not merely intellectual assent. It
is trusting in Jesus Christ alone and what He has
done rather than what we can do to get us to heaven.
"What must I do to be saved? ... Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." Acts 16:30, 31
The Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved." You can do that now by
simply praying:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a
sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But I
believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase
a place in heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life,
take control of my life, forgive my sins, and save
me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my
salvation, and I accept Your free gift of eternal
life.
If this prayer is the sincere desire of
your heart, look at the promise of Jesus: "Most
assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has
eternal life." John 6:47
If you, having read
this, trusted Jesus for eternal life, please let us
know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in
your life and help you to grow spiritually. Please
