Mans' Only Hope!!! To die SAVED!

 Regardless of the health you have now, or the financial status you are in, or the younger age we belong, Mr. Death is lurking through the pollution in air, water, sound, food, actually the basic needs that we think should maintain our life have contamination, or anything that is GOOD could be BAD if excessive or abused, even the MEDICINE we take have side effects that may complicate with other organs or systems in our body. The psychological stress that we experience daily and the emotional stress that we don't control is a menace to our dearest health and life we possess, oh no we borrow from God our creator. 
A little young boy asked his father, "When do we die?", His father answered: "Have you visited the graveyard son?, What have you observed there?" The son replied:"There are Big, Small, Medium caskets." THIS IS NOT TO SCARE US! We need to face the fact that no one is invincible against Mr.Death. JESUS CHRIST ALONE HAS THE ANSWER! THE ONLY HOPE!


HOW????


Very SIMPLE, that many have fallen because they can not believe that simple. They THINK it is too good to be TRUE. Mr. Satan deceives us by telling us don't believe that SALVATION is very simple it is complicated and hard because that is going to your utmost desire of going to HEAVEN to GOD, then that simple? HA! HA! HA!


Why so SIMPLE?


1.Because Jesus Christ wants everybody to be saved. A small boy and girl, poor uneducated man and woman that can not read or write but can hear, sinner to the max., rich, highly educated that can not accept
simple things because of pride. Jesus wants them get saved. 2Pe 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 1Ti 2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
2. It's simple because JESUS CHRIST have paid it in FULL! You don't need to ADD anything to the gift that was wrapped and sealed when He said "It is finished!" You must only receive it, believe it, trust it that He ALONE have done everything to SAVE YOU!
Rom 6:23  For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Eph 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of GodNot of works, lest any man should boast. 
3. It is simple, so that no man will be hopeless and say God did not love or cared for him that he has no chance to be saved. Jn 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.

HOW TO BE SAVED? HOW?



God's FREE Gift


Heaven or Hell?  
Where would you go if you died today? Most people believe they would go to Heaven. But how can you be sure? Many people think they will go to Heaven because of their religion, heritage, upbringing, social status, or simply because they are a better than average person. However, the Bible is very clear on this subject. If you're not absolutely sure you are headed to Heaven, please take a serious look at the following and you' will see for yourself, that you really can be sure you're headed to Heaven. 


Joh 3:16  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. 
 
Does God want you in Heaven?



Absolutely. If he didn't, would he have sent his only son (Jesus Christ) to be persecuted and to die on the cross for you?



The first thing you must do is to realize you are a sinner. For some of us this is very easy. For others, we struggle with this fact as we don't see ourselves as a "bad person". But the fact of the matter is we are all sinners, whether we consider ourselves a good person or a bad person.


Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 


 Rom 6:23  For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 







So we have established the fact that we are all sinners, we all die, and that God has provided us with the free gift of eternal life - so now what? Well, we must accept the gift by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. As you read this bible verse, please note there is no mention of any type of religious ceremony, Church member-ship, or anything else -- all that's necessary is believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.  
Act 16:30  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 
Act 16:31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 



Admittedly, simply believing on the Lord Jesus Christ sounds too good to be true. But the Bible is very clear that by grace we are saved through faith. In other words, you can not earn your way into Heaven. No amount of good deeds, good works, religion, or simply being better than the average person is going to get you saved (into Heaven). You must accept Gods free gift.  


 Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 
Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 


So how do you accept God's free gift? Read Romans chapter 10, verse 9. It just can't be made any more plain than this.


 Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 


Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 


Many people believe that they are a sinner, they are going to die, and that God has provided an opportunity to get people to Heaven. But many people also believe they have sinned too much or there is no room in Heaven for them. Romans chapter 10, verse 13 dispels this by spelling out each of our names as "whosoever". There are no strings attached, minimum qualifications, or other such nonsense. We can all be a "whosoever". 





Once you have called upon the name of the Lord to be saved, you are guaranteed eternal life with Him.
 
Joh 10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 
Joh 10:28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my 

Many people realize they are sinners, they are going to die, that God sent his only Son to die on the cross for our sins, and that they must accept God's free gift of eternal security and salvation. However, they wait to accept the free gift. Why? If you're not saved, or if you're not 100% sure you will be going to Heaven when you die, what are you waiting for? You never know what's going to happen to you in this uncertain world.


2Co 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.) 



If you're not save, or if you're not 100% sure you're headed to Heaven when you die, wont you please listen to your heart? I believe there is a reason you've been reading this. God is standing at the door of your heart and asking you to open the door and let him in.


Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 




Are you ready to accept God's free gift now?


If so, simply go to him in prayer and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart. Admit you are a sinner and acknowledge that you know Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Acknowledge you know there is no other way to get to Heaven than to accept God's free gift and you totally trust in the finished work of his son, Jesus Christ. Once you have done this, you will be saved.


So now what?


God has many Blessings in store for you. Once you have accepted God's free gift, you can be assured you will spend eternity in Heaven. This is the greatest Blessing you will ever receive. However, to better understand all of God's Blessings, you should read His Words daily in the Bible.  join a good Bible Believing Missionary Baptist Church where you can learn and grow in the Christian Faith, surround yourself with other believers, and be sure to share your new found knowledge with others.


God Bless You.
