Let me ask you a question. If you were to die in the next 5 minutes, do you know where you would go? Would you go to heaven or would you go to hell? The bible tells us hell is reserved for the wicked, for the evildoers, for sinners.

Here are some more questions:

  • Have you ever lied? I know I have and that makes me a liar.

  • Have you ever taken anything that didn’t belong to you? I know I have and that makes me a thief.

  • Have you ever made anything or anyone more important than God? I have and that makes me an idolater.

What I’m trying to say is I have sinned. I am a sinner. God is a righteous judge and I would be judged for my sins. Because of my sinful nature, I would go to hell.

But the Father in His great compassion and love for me sent his son, Jesus, who never sinned, to take my place and pay the price for my sins. His death on the cross was a sacrifice so that I would not have to spend eternity separated from the presence of the Father.

I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am now born again, spiritually. Since the price has been paid, God no longer holds my sins against me.

When I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ I didn’t hear any bells or whistles. I didn’t see heaven open up and a dove hover above me, but I knew in my heart that I was different. I had changed. I had become a child of God. Satan will never have power over me ever again.

I no longer have the stain of sin on me. The blood that Jesus shed on the cross has made me pure in the eyes of the Father. I am now spotless, holy and righteous. I now have the nature of God.

You can have this too. You have a choice. You can make the most important decision you will ever make right now. You can accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The bible tells us in Romans 10:9, "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (NLT)

There is no other way into the Kingdom of heaven but through Jesus. You too can have the peace of knowing where you’re going when you leave this world.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT)
