Do you know for certain that you have ETERNAL LIFE and that you will go to Heaven when you die? |
|
|
Reality #1 - God wants you to be sure. |
|
| The Bible Says, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:13) | |
|
Reality #2 - God has provided the way. |
|
| Jesus said in the Bible, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6) This means the only way to have eternal life is through Jesus. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) | |
|
Reality #3 - We receive eternal life as a gift. |
|
| The Bible says, "The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) | |
|
Reality #4 - Everyone needs this gift. |
|
| The Bible, God's Word teaches that man needs this gift because without it we will be forever separated from God. The reason for this is that man is a sinner and is hopelessly separated from a holy and righteous God. | |
| The Bible says: | "For all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." (Romans 3:10) "For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) |
|
Reality #5 - You must accept by faith that Jesus Christ is the only way to have eternal life. |
|
| The Bible says, "He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on Him." (John 3:36) | |
| The word "believe" means to trust, to depend on, or to rely on. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ simply means that you recognize that there is no other way for you to receive God's gift of eternal life. | |
|
