Are you saved and going to Heaven?
"For all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
WE WANT EVERY PERSON TO KNOW:
1. Each person has been born naturally into the
family of Adam, has inherited Adam’s sinful nature of rebellion against God,
and is dead to spiritual understanding
(Romans
3:23;
5:12).
2. Each person must be born again of a spiritual
nature to become a child of God and to be saved from eternal spiritual death
which is an everlasting punishment in hell and separation from the righteous
God of creation (John 3:3, 36;
Romans 6:23; Matthew 25:46; Matthew 25:41; II Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation
21:8.
3. No one can do any good works that merit
salvation from God’s righteous judgment and an everlasting punishment in hell
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Isaiah 64:6; Titus 3:5).
4. Salvation is not limited to one special race or
nationality. Jesus Christ loves sinners and suffered a horrible atoning death
that propitiates (satisfies) the justice of God and reconciles to God all who
shall ever believe in Christ (Romans 5:6-11; John 3:16; See also Isaiah 53:6; Hebrews 2:9).
5. Only those who repent and believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ will be saved from God’s righteous judgment and an everlasting
punishment in hell.
REPENT: Repentance is acknowledging your sinful nature, being sorry for your sin, and looking to God for mercy,
forgiveness and satisfaction (propitiation) of God’s judgment by cleansing
through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ (Acts 17:30-31; Romans 3:24-25; Acts
3:19; Luke 13:3,5; II Corinthians 7:9-10.
BELIEVE (have faith):
To believe and have saving faith is to have complete confidence with total
trust and commitment in Jesus Christ to deliver you from the penalty and power
of sin, and to keep you from going to Hell and to take you to Heaven. To be
saved means to be eternally safe and secure in Christ (Acts
16:30-31; John
3:18; Acts
10:43).
REPENTANCE and FAITH
are simultaneous graces of God. To repent and believe, you do not merely
confess that you have sinned, but that you are a sinner. Do not
ask God for justice, but ask God for mercy. Believe on Jesus, not just about
Him. Do not pray, “Lord, help me to be strong,” but pray, “Lord, be my
strength.” Do not pray, “Lord, show me the way,” but pray, “Lord, take me to
Heaven.” Do not pray, “Lord, help me to live,” but pray, “Lord, be my life”. Do
not pray, “Lord, help me to be good,” but pray, “Lord, be my righteousness.”
(John 14:6; Galatians 2:20).
6. In salvation, God delivered the believer from
the PENALTY of sin, does continue to deliver the believer from the POWER of
sin, and will yet deliver the believer from the PRESENCE of sin.
In so great salvation, the believer becomes a Christian
(follower of Christ) "But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we
should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead; Who delivered
us from so great a death, and doth deliver; in whom we trust that he will yet
deliver us (II Corinthians 1:9-10). "How shall we escape if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him;" (Hebrews 2:3).
