"Are you 100% Sure you have a personal relationship with God through His Son NOW and that You Are Going to Heaven When You Die?"
If you are not sure that you would go to heaven, read the rest of this message and do what it says to at the end!
First of all you need to realize that the Bible teaches that it is possible to know you are saved. We find this in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
God gave His Son so that everyone could have a place in HEAVEN. This place is free to those who will receive it.
For you to be sure of your eternal destiny, there are three things you must know, and one thing you must do.
The first thing you must know is that all men are born sinners before God. Romans 3:10 says, "There is none righteous, no not one." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
The second thing to know is that if a person persists in his sin, there is a penalty that he is subject to and this penalty Is DEATH. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord."
Yes, there is a penalty of death for sinning, but God offers a gift of life to those who will receive it.
The third thing you have to know is that God loves you and does not desire to see you perish. Because of this, he let Jesus Christ, His son, come into the world to take the sin penalty upon himself so that men themselves would not have to die and suffer an eternity in HELL. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrated His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." John 3:16 says the same thing. "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."
THESE ARE THE THREE THINGS YOU MUST KNOW
1. ALL MEN ARE SINNERS.
2. THE PENALTY OF SIN IS DEATH.
3. GOD LOVES YOU AND CHRIST DIED IN YOUR PLACE.
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING FOR YOU TO DO. RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR!
The way to receive CHRIST is to call on Him to forgive you of your sins and give you your place in HEAVEN. Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
Now, bow your head, and pray this prayer. "Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and that Jesus died for my sins, forgive me of my sins and save me for Jesus' sake. Amen."
If you truly meant that prayer, you are now saved and have been reconnected with God the Father and are guaranteed a place in heaven.
"The next thing you need to do is to come to church and make a public profession of your new faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:10-11 says, "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."
