Have you ever wondered what happens after you take your last breath? Does a person just turn back into dust? Is there a Heaven? Is there a Hell?
Jesus tells us that because of our sin, we have separated ourselves from God and the ability to get into heaven on our own. BUT, there is GREAT NEWS! God sent His Son Jesus from heaven to die in our place. He took the penalty for all of our sins upon Himself so we wouldn’t have to pay the cost of sin—which is death and eternal separation from Him (Romans 3:23).
The Bible tells us that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-5). It was not only that Christ died but that He overcame death and rose from the dead. He defeated death so we could live forever!
God has given us a gift. His priceless gift was the death of His Son. It is yours today if you would receive it! Say a simple prayer to God. Tell Him that you know you have sinned and don’t deserve life with Him but you are thankful that He sent His Son in your place so you can live forever in Heaven with Him.
God says that “if we confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).”
You can be assured that you will be in Heaven when you die. You are going to heaven based on what He has done for you, not based on what you have done for Him. Let’s face it…even our good deeds often have selfish motives; they make us feel good or we hope that someday the good will be returned to us. The Bible says, “There is none righteous. No, not one (Romans 3:10).” It is by grace that we are saved. It is “not from ourselves, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).”
I hope you will say a prayer to God today. Confess that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior. Believe that He is who He says He is. He can be trusted and you will be saved today!!! It is the best decision you will ever make!!!
Say a prayer like this one today, believing in your heart, and you will be saved!
“Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I have been living for my own desires but today I trust in You. You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to God except through You. You died on the cross and have forgiven me of my sins. Help me to live for You. Thank Jesus. Amen.”
