Do you think you’re a good person?
Yes?
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions to see if that’s true?
Have you ever lied?
Of course you have.
Have you ever stolen something?
Of course you have, oh come on you just admitted you’ve lied.
Have you ever looked with lust at another person?
Of course you have we all have.
Ever not honored and obeyed your father and your mother or legal guardian?
Sure, of course you have, so have I
Ever taken the Name of God in vain?
That’s called Blasphemy, instead of using a 4 letters word to express disgust you’re using the name of the God that gave you life as a curse word.
Did you know that God has appointed a day in which all man kind will be judged and you just admitted and now know that you’re guilty?
Did you know that everyone is guilty?
Did you know that the punishment for breaking Gods law which is called sin, bears the punishment of Death and eternal Hell?
So where do you think you’ll go on judgment day heaven or hell?
If you said Hell your right, if you said Heaven you forget that God is good, and since he is good and righteous he must up hold the law and punish sin wherever it is found, even if you’re sorry and even if he loves you. What good would a Judge be that didn’t punish a criminal that broke a crime or disobeyed the law? Well they wouldn’t be good or righteous because they didn’t do their sworn duty to uphold the law.
I have good news for you though, God doesn’t want that fate for us. He sent his only son Jesus Christ who was made a man and given flesh and bone to come to earth to die for our sins on the cross and pay the fine of our sins for us. However, only those who accept God and his son Jesus Christ and repent(which means to turn away) from their sins and give him their whole life and heart can have their fine paid for their sins and not have judgment come upon them.
Would you like to give your life to God and repent of your sinful ways and receive the gift of eternal life in Heaven, instead of burning in Hell?
Then pray this prayer from your heart:
Oh Heavenly Father I have broken the law that you have given us and sinned against you and I deserve death and eternal Hell. I know that you sent your son to die for our sins on the cross and that only through him can I be saved. I give you my life dear God and to your Son Jesus Christ and I surrender myself to you. I give you my whole heart and I turn away from my evil and sinful ways and repent of them forever. I want to receive your gift of Heaven and so I give myself to you Jesus Christ and God the Father now and forever. Amen.
If you prayed that prayer just now from your heart and gave your life to him I would like you to know that you are now saved through his Son Jesus Christ. You need not worry about sin anymore and that as it is written in the Bible that He/she who has given their self to him is in his hand forever more and cannot be plucked out by anything, you are saved through and through. The Holy Spirit will live within you letting you know Gods will and plan for your life. Even though you may face persecution from others and go through trials and tribulations may it bring you closer to Jesus Christ and his Father our God Almighty.
You may feel a hunger to know more about God and his son Jesus Christ so I urge you to go buy a Bible they are about $8 and you can get them at Barnes and Nobles or other local book stores. I suggest the New American Version or the New King James Version as other version are in an old form of English and be a real pain in the butt to try and understand. I also suggest you start with the Book of John in the New Testament (Yes I know my name is John also ;-) and no it’s not because it’s my name that I want you to read it first). Once you feel that that hunger has been well fed by your increasing knowledge of Christ I urge you to continue reading the rest of the New Testament and go back to Genesis and read the Old Testament as well as it explains the origins of the Jewish faith and the prophecy’s about Jesus Christ before he was born,
Thanks and God Bless you.
