ARE YOU SURE

Prepared and researched by Sam Martino [ All quotations are taken from the King James Text]

This author believes, that the moment we die, our soul will leave and go to an eternal abode Heaven for the Saved and Hell for the Lost , as described and stated in the scriptures. This topic is one that is always the least of which is on anyones mind.. No one is thinking that one day they are appointed, get that , an appointment , the only appointment in your life that you will never cancel or make a change to, You have cancelled your Dentist appointment, your work interview, your car repair, your childs school teachers meeting, an oil change, you even cancelled your hair dressing appointment, and of course one has always cancelled their income tax appointment and the list goes on and on. But there is one appointment my friend that you will never ever ever cancel, and there is nothing you can do, that can change an appointed time for your death. You see God has arranged an appointment that you will have to keep, whether you want to or not , no way out.

If you were to die today are you 100% sure you would go to HEAVEN? Yes___No___? Please read the following if you answered No to the question above. Could you honestly say the following?? Jesus Christ, “I am just as good as you. I have never lusted in my heart; I have never lied; Never cheated; Never stolen anything; Never hated anyone; Never thought a dirty thought. Never said anything wrong; Never lost my temper. I am just as good as you are Jesus. I have never sinned. Now, if you are truly honest with yourself, you know that somewhere, somehow you have sinned. You know that you could not compare yourself to the Holy Son of God, Jesus Christ. BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT YOU ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” “.your iniquities have separated between you and your God…” YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAWS OF GOD “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” “For the wages of sin is death…” YOU ARE CONDEMNED BY GOD AT THIS MOMENT. “… he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” “The wicked shall be turned into hell…” BUT JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU AND DIED FOR YOU. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” “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.” JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. “Jesus saith., I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” NOW THAT YOU HAVE THE TRUTH THE DECISION IS YOURS! WILL YOU REPENT? “The Lord is… not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,” Repentance is when a person admits his guilt to God, and sincerely desires in his heart to get right with God. “…repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” WILL YOU TRUST JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR? “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose again from the dead. He paid for your sins on the cross. That is why He is called the Saviour. You cannot save yourself by good works; baptism, church attendance, sacraments, going to confession; giving money, praying to Mary and the saints, or trying to live a good life. In order to be saved, you must completely put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. CAN YOU AFFORD TO WAIT? The most important decision that you will make in this life will be that of either trusting or rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Don’t take a chance! Call on God now! You might not be alive tomorrow! DEAR FRIEND, In your own words pray and tell God that you are guilty as a sinner, and that you now believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour, and that you now want to completely trust Him, and ONLY HIM as your Lord and Saviour.
