Do you really reject Jesus Christ?

After all He did for you?

Would you really rather go to hell and burn forever in a lake of fire than live forever in a heavenly mansion prepared by God?

Is this what you want? The choice is entirely yours?

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Luke 16:22-24

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15

Why? Why does a person refuse the Lord Jesus Christ?

The Bible says over and over how much God loves you — but you still refuse His love?

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. John 3:16

Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

Herein is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that he LOVED us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Are you thinking — I just find this stuff about heaven and hell hard to believe?

If heaven and hell are not real — then Jesus Christ was the most deceived person that ever lived. And I’ll challenge anyone to read the words of the Lord Jesus Christ and honestly tell me they are the words of a deceived man. No. Jesus Christ knew exactly what He was talking about.

Wouldn’t you like to take God at His word? The Lord just wants you to give Him a chance. Is that too much to ask? You’ve tried everything else — why not try Him?

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Praise the Lord you want to be saved!

You’ll never regret it!

It’s simple to be saved …

In fact, it’s so simple, it’s hard to believe! It’s so simple people are deceived in thinking it can’t be that simple. BUT IT IS! The apostle Paul warns, in 2 Corinthians 11:3 of Satan deceiving you by the simplicity in Jesus Christ.

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST.” 2 Corinthians 11:3

You know what? You can be saved right now. You can be saved right where you are! This very minute! You can have that home in heaven waiting for you!

• Realize you are a sinner.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” Romans 3:10

“… for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23

• Realize you will face JUDGEMENT because of your sins.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this THE JUDGEMENT:” Hebrews 9:27

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:12

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:12-15

• Realize you CAN NOT save yourself.

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; …” Isaiah 64:6

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, …” Titus 3:5

• Realize that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins.

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, …” 1 Peter 2:24
“… Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” Revelation 1:5

• Simply receive Jesus Christ by faith as your personal Savior

“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

“…Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:30,31

“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.” John 3:16

Salvation is trusting and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior. It’s trusting in the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins! It’s realizing there is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do to save yourself and completely trusting in Jesus Christ to save you! It’s not any church that saves. It’s not baptism, not good works, not sacraments, not repenting, not praying through, not enduring to the end, not living a good life IT’S NOT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO!

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God:
9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.Ephesians 2:8-9

Now isn’t that plain? NOT OF YOURSELVES. . . NOT OF WORKS. . .

 Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary and paying for my sins. I come to you now, Lord, just as You said in Your Word, the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my Savior. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer according to the Word of God, YOU ARE SAVED! HALLELUJAH!

You say, but I don’t feel any different. Guess what? Your salvation does not depend on your feeling. It ALL depends on doing what God SAID!

God said if you receive and trust in Jesus Christ you are saved. Notice it does NOT say you “might” or “could” be saved � but “shall be saved”. YOU ARE SAVED!

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 10:13

Didn’t you just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Look at what John 3:36 says! It says you HATH EVERLASTING LIFE! Not “maybe” or “hope so”  BUT HATH  YOU ARE SAVED!

He that believeth on the Son HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36

Friend, if you prayed the prayer and received Jesus Christ YOU ARE SAVED! You did what God said AND GOD CANNOT LIE!

In hope of eternal life, which God, THAT CANNOT LIE, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2

What to do next?

1. Start reading the Bible. Read the gospel of John. Then read the New Testament. Then start in Genesis and read the whole Bible. And when you finish the whole Bible start over again. Read your Bible everyday. Three chapters a day (about 10 minutes) will read it through in a year.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1 Peter 2:2And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:4

2. Start a prayer life. You say, I don’t know how to pray. Just talk to God like you do anybody else. There’s no use tp get pious and pomp before the Lord, He knows all about you anyway. Get a notebook and start a prayer list. Put down your friends and loved ones that need to be saved. Pray for the president, the country. If you have needs, health, financial, marriage problems ask God to help you. Pray about EVERYTHING. Open the door of the day (morning) with prayer and lock the night with prayer. You can not pray too much. In your day by day activities pray. At work  pray. Driving in the car pray. Wherever and whenever pray. Decide that prayer is going to be your life-long friend.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:177 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8

3. Tell somebody about Jesus. Go tell someone when you get through reading this that you just got saved. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell the world! Try to find someone everyday you can tell about Jesus.

And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. Acts 5:42

4. Fellowship with other Christians. Find you a local Bible-Belieiving Baptist church. If you can’t find one, email us and we’ll try to locate one in your area. You need the fellowship of a local church. You need the leadership of a pastor. You need the teaching and preaching you can only get in the local church.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

Praise the Lord!

The greatest feeling in all the world is knowing the Lord Jesus Christ!

And the greatest wealth, honor, freedom, privilege, job, responsibility and joy is to live and testify for the wonderful Lord Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2

May the Lord bless you in your service for Him.
