If you are reading this page, this shows that you are probably concerned about your eternal destiny.  Consider these questions:

Have you ever told a lie, taken something that didn't belong to you or looked at someone with lust in your heart? If so, then you have broken the Law of God.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness"
"Thou shalt not steal"
"Thou shalt not commit adultery"

"Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."  Matthew 5:28

"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."  James 2:10

Do you understand the implications of what you have just read? Once you have broken even one of the Ten Commandments, you become guilty of all of them. Never killed anyone? Never bowed before a graven image? You are still guilty! Because of this, your destiny is grim.


"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."  Revelation 21:8

When you stand before God on your judgment day, what will your answer be to these charges? Don't even think about using the "good outweighs the bad" defence. This would be like a murderer arguing that he has only killed one person and there are millions of people that he has not killed. Once you have broken the Law you are subject to the penalty. You can never do enough good works to erase your sin.  The penalty must be paid.  The good news is that the penalty has been paid.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  Romans 5:8

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."   Isaiah 53:5- 6

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, "    Revelation 1:5

Your response is very simple:

"And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."  Mark 1:15

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."  Acts 16:31
