The Good News
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.
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. 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 16:30b, 31) The
Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). You can do that now by simply
praying this pray: "Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and do not
deserve eternal life. 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)
