IF YOU DIED
RIGHT NOW,
DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE
THAT YOU WOULD
GO TO HEAVEN?
The Four Facts
The ABC's
The Basic Five
In
only a minute, I can explain to you how you can know for sure that
if you died today you would go to heaven.
There are Four Facts that you need to know:
Fact 1 - God says that all men are sinners. "For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,"
Romans 3:23. If you are honest with yourself, you know you
are a sinner. We are all sinners before a Holy God.
Fact 2 - God says that the wages of your sin (and
mine) is death. "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23. We have earned death because of our sin, and
what we deserve is death ... separation from God in hell.
Fact 3 - God says that even though we are sinners,
He sent Christ to die for our sin. "But God commendeth His
love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us." Romans 5:8. On the cross Jesus paid the
penalty (death) for our sin.
Fact 4 - God says that to be saved and have your
sin forgiven, each and every person must call on the Lord
Jesus Christ to be his or her personal SAVIOR! "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." Romans 10:9.
It is
as simple as A B C
Acknowledge that you are a sinner
before God.
Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you
from your sin and rose again the third day.
Call on the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer to save you.
When we pray and ask Jesus Christ to save
us and forgive us our sin, we receive Him into our heart. "But
as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." John 1:12
Here's a sample
prayer.
(There are no magic words, just mean it from your
heart.)
Dear Jesus,
I admit that I'm a
sinner. Please forgive me for my sins. I believe you died on
the cross to pay for my sins and rose again on the third day. Please take me to heaven when I
die. I right now accept you as my personal saviour.
In
Jesus name, amen.
