Are you sure you're going to Heaven when
you die?
This is the most important question of your life!
John 3:5 reads, Jesus answered, "I tell you the
truth, no one can enter the kingdom
of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. [6] Flesh gives birth to flesh,
but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. [7] You should not be surprised at my saying, `You must be born again.' In the Bible
God provides us with his plan of salvation (to be born again). The plan is simple:
1. First you must realize you a
are sinner. Romans 3:23 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God." That means you, me, everyone!
2. Because you are a sinner, you are condemned
to death. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23.
4. So all I have to do is believe in Jesus?
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21.
5. What did Jesus have to do so that I could
be saved? Jesus had to shed His blood and die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
Although we may not understand how, God said my
sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and he died in our place.
6. So, what must you do to be saved right now?
This is the same question the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas and they replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and
you will be saved..." (Acts 10:13). Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved." (Romans 10:13). Then what? "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you shall be saved.
No church membership, ceremonial acts, or good
works can save you. God alone does all the saving. "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" (2 Corinthians 9:15)
Just
take God at His word and claim His salvation by FAITH. Believe and you will be saved.
