" 1% Guilty ! "

 

THE PRISONER spoke: "I've never sold drugs, I've never cheated on my income taxes, I've never abused my wife, I've never. . . "

"Wait a minute," the attorney interrupted, "Did you or did you not rob the bank ?" 

"Well, I give blood, I've served in the Army and I . . ." 

"Wait a minute, Did you or did not. . ."

"Yes, I did. But I've done so many good things ! I'm only 1% guilty !"

One day you will stand before a JUDGE and you may say:

- I've never robbed or murdered anyone.

- I've helped the poor.

- I was good to my family.

- I may have done a few bad things, but so did everyone else.

- I'm only 1% guilty !

And the JUDGE will say,

"For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10  So it will be for all of us when we stand before GOD.

2nd.Corinthians 5:10 says, "For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of CHRIST; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

GOD has provided the only way to be declared "not guilty": HE sent HIS OWN SON to die for the sins of all mankind. JESUS CHRIST, totally without sin, died for us sinners. "But GOD commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us." (Romans 5:8). Also 1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4 tells us, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . .For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:"

1st.Peter 3:18 says, "For CHRIST also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that HE might bring us to GOD. . ." All who come to JESUS in repentance and faith, accepting the death, burial and resurrection of JESUS, on their behalf, receive total pardon and cleansing and can stand before GOD without fear.

Jude 1:24-25 tells us, "Now unto HIM that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of HIS glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise GOD our SAVIOR, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever."

Turn from your sin in repentance and faith and believe !

1st.John 1:7-9 tells us, ". . .the blood of JESUS CHRIST HIS SON cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

John 3:16 says, "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." 

How can I go from 1% Guilty to 100% Forgiven ?

Acknowledge that you are a sinner, "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD." (Romans 3:23).

Believe that the LORD JESUS died for you, for "CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1st.Corinthians 15:3).

Call upon the LORD to save you, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).

If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST, in repentance (a turning to GOD from your sin) and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

This is a decision that should not be put off. We are not promised any more time than the moment we are in. GOD's WORD says, "...BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." Come to JESUS and be totally forgiven and be assured of a home in Heaven, today !

Your servant in CHRIST,

"GOD Loves You ! "

 

"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

We are loved.

     This great Bible verse reveals four truths from the heart of GOD for all people. GOD wants us to know that we are loved. The LORD JESUS said, "For GOD so loved the world..." You are part of this world, and GOD loves you. HE gave HIS SON for you, and HE wants you "...to know the loved of CHRIST..." (Ephesians 3:19).

We are of worth.

     The LORD also wants us to know that we are of worth. We are so dear to GOD "...that HE gave HIS only begotten SON..." The Bible teaches us that we are all sinners, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD" (Romans 3:23).

     And sin must be paid for. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23). But the Bible teaches us that "...CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1st.Corinthians 15:3). GOD demonstrated HIS love for us and our worth to HIM when HE sent HIS SON to die in our place.

     The good news is that the LORD JESUS paid our sin debt in full when HE died on the cross. "For HE hath made HIM to be sin for us..." (2nd.Corinthians 5:21) Christ loved us and gave HIMSELF for us as payment for our sin. You may ask, "How can GOD forgive my sin ?" HE can because of what JESUS did. "While we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us" (Romans 5:8).

We can have hope.

     GOD wants us to know that we can have hope. HE said, "...that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish..." Life is fragile, and people are perishing. But CHRIST came "...that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

     In a world where so many have lost hope, GOD wants us to know that the "...LORD JESUS CHRIST...is our hope" (1st.Timothy 1:1) HE rose from the dead, and HE said, "...Because I live, ye shall live also" (John 14:19).

We can have purpose.

    GOD wants us to know that we can have purpose in life. HE desires that we "...should not perish, but have everlasting life." 

     "And this is the promise that HE hath promised us, even eternal life" (1st.John 2:25) You may ask, "How can I receive GOD's promise of eternal life ?"

Acknowledge that you are a sinner, "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD" (Romans 3:23).

Believe that the LORD JESUS died for you, for "CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures" (1st.Corinthians 15:3).

Call upon the LORD to save you, "for whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

If you would be willing to turn to 

CHRIST in repentance (turning to GOD

from your sin) and faith, pray this

simple prayer of salvation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LORD,

I know that I am a sinner,

and I believe YOU died

and rose again for me.

I am trusting YOU to forgive me.

Come into my heart and save me.

Help me to live for you always.

In JESUS' name I pray,

AMEN.

     The LORD JESUS said, "...I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish..." (John 10:28). Everlasting life is ours when we receive CHRIST as our personal LORD and SAVIOR.

Now that you're a Christian:

* Share your new-found faith with your family and friends (Acts 16:31-33).

* Identify with CHRIST through believer's baptism and become part of a local, Bible-believing church (Acts 2:41,47)

     Don't put off this decision for CHRIST. You are not promised one more moment than the one you are in. "BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time, BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b)

Your servant in CHRIST,

"I Must Tell You This"

I KNOW SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL that I must tell you ! It is so vital that it may change your entire future as it did mine. In fact, the decision you make about it will affect you both in life and death.

     Let me emphasize that this message is absolutely true, because GOD said it. When GOD makes a promise, you can rest upon it, because HIS promises can never fail. GOD will not make you believe this message, that is your choice, but HE will hold you responsible for having heard it.

     It is a very personal message, something you must decide. Your must say either, "I will" or "I will not." Here is the message. It is an exact quotation from GOD's WORD, the Holy Bible.

     "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.

     Did you ever hear such wonderful words ? Think for a moment what they say. They reveal three marvelous facts.

[] First, "GOD so loved the world" ! Since you are in the world, HE loved you. If that doesn't astonish you, remember, that when GOD loved you, HE loved a sinner ! The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD." (Romans 3:23). If you are honest, you will agree.

     Although GOD loves you, HE still hates your sin. Since GOD is holy, HE must punish sin. HE must make a Holy way of saving sinners. Otherwise, the sinner must pay for his own sins, and that would mean spending eternity in a Devil's Hell. The Bible says, "And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire." (Revelation 20:15).

[] The second great fact is, "HE gave HIS only begotten SON" !  GOD loved you so much, that HE sent HIS SON to Earth to become a man and die on the cross of Calvary, so that you might be saved. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that HE was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4).

     You see, someone must pay the penalty of sin, either you or a sinless substitute. GOD gave HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, to be your sinless substitute. HE shed HIS blood so that your sins might be put away, so that you might have eternal life.

[] And now the third tremendous fact is, "Whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life"! Think of it ! GOD gives eternal life to those who believe in JESUS CHRIST. The SAVIOR has "finished" the work. HE has died. HE has risen from the grave, and HE has gone back into Heaven. Now your part is to believe in HIM. "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. . .For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:9,13). 

     To believe simply means that you must agree that you are a sinner, realize that CHRIST has paid the "full" penalty for your sins, and then receive HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR.

     This is the message which I had to tell you. Now you must make a decision. Will you accept HIM, or reject HIM ? Will you believe on HIM, or refuse HIM ? Think of it once again:

     "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.

     Your time on Earth is so very short, but your decision for CHRIST lasts for eternity. Will you come to JESUS in repentance (turning to GOD from your sin) and faith; will you receive HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR, being confident of everlasting life ? If so, you can pray this simple prayer:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

JESUS said in John 5:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears MY WORD, and believes on HIM that sent ME, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

Come to JESUS today. No one is promised any more time than the moment you are in.

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie

"Give Due Diligence"

 

John 5:39-40 "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of ME. And ye will not come to ME, that ye might have life."

     "Search the Scriptures." What better advice could ever be given to a world of people steeped in sin and in need of redemption ? These words were spoken by the SAVIOR to Jewish religionists who prided themselves in their knowledge of the Scriptures. They believed they knew them quite well, yet on another occasion, JESUS informed a group of conniving Sadducees, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures" (Matthew 22:29 pictured above). These religious Jews thought they had eternal life because they were well-versed in the Old Testament Scriptures, but they rejected the very ONE of WHOM those Scriptures testified and would not come to HIM, that they "might have life" (v.40).

     The word translated "search" means "to search diligently or anxiously." In his commentary, Albert Barnes says, "It is applied to miners, who search for precious metals -- who look anxiously for the bed of the ore with an intensity or anxiety proportionate to their sense of the value of the metal. . . .It means a diligent, faithful, anxious investigation." This is no mere casual reading of GOD's WORD. It is echoed again in Paul's words to Timothy: "Study to show thyself approved unto GOD," (2nd.Timothy 2:15 pictured above). "Study" means "to use speed, to make effort, be prompt or earnest -- to (give) diligence." Joshua, the new leader of Israel after the death of Moses, was also instructed in this matter: "This book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein" (Joshua 1:8). Meditate on GOD's WORD and obey it. In this way, you will truly prosper and have good success. Give due diligence and search the Scriptures daily. JED

"HELL isn't for HEROES !"

 

     "See you in Hell tonight !" call out the patrons of a night club which chose this name for the publicity. Others, equally as flippant, say they want to go to Hell -- "Look at all the famous company I'll be in !"

     Don't delude yourself ! There is no "company" in Hell. Only hatred. Total separation from everyone. Yes, there are many famous heroes in Hell, but they will give you no enjoyment. Hell is total suffering and agony -- unrelieved by any joy whatsoever.

     "Go to Hell !" say many with ease and frequency. Yet they say that they aren't sure whether there is a Hell. They live and act as if death ends everything. But their very use of such language shows that deep within them they feel that those who are wrong should be punished.

     And this is exactly why there is a Hell: because GOD is good. Goodness is gone if it tolerates badness. To maintain HIS goodness, GOD must completely triumph over evil.

     There is a GOD. There is a Heaven. There must also be a Hell. GOD is a GOD of justice as well as love. HE has clearly revealed that this is HIS nature, and man plays the fool when he thinks that he can set up the rules in the universe which GOD has created.

     It is impossible to describe Hell in language which we can understand. People suffering excruciating pain and mental torment say that they are "in Hell." You've heard that "War is Hell." These are only partly right. On Earth there is still relief in drugs or sleep, and there is always hope. In Hell there is absolute physical and mental suffering -- and there is NO HOPE !

     The Bible uses the ideas of total darkness and the pain of burning to give us some conception of Hell:

"Then shall he say also unto them on 

the left hand, Depart from ME, ye

cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared

for the Devil and his angels."

(Matthew 25:41)

"The same shall drink of the wine of the

wrath of GOD . . .  and he shall be

tormented with fire and brimstone."

(Revelation 14:10)

"Bind him hand and foot, and take him

away, and cast him into outer dark-

ness; there shall be weeping and

gnashing of teeth."

(Matthew 22:13)

Of whom do these verses speak ? The answer is clear:

"The wicked shall be turned into Hell."

(Psalm 9:17)

"He that believeth and is baptized shall

be saved; but he that believeth not

shall be damned."

(Mark 16:16)

"For if we sin willfully after that we

have received the knowledge of the 

truth, there remaineth no more sacri-

fice for sins, but a certain fearful

looking for of judgment and fiery

indignation."

(Hebrews 10:26,27)

     "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell ?" was the question JESUS asked in Matthew 23:33. But the Bible gives a clear answer:

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel

which I preached unto you, which also ye have

received, and wherein ye stand; by which ye are

saved, . . For I delivered unto you first of all that

which I also received, how that CHRIST died for

our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE

was buried, and that HE rose again the third day

according to the Scriptures:"

(1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4)

"Repent (turning to GOD from sin) ye; for the

kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

(Matthew 3:2)

"Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, 

and thou shalt be saved."

(Acts 16:31)

"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. . .For whosoever shall 

call upon the name of the LORD shall

be saved."

(Romans 10:9,13)

     Have you ever read of those confined for years in total darkness ? Have you ever been severely burned ? Imagine suffering these fearful physical tortures plus the anguish of knowing you are separated from GOD and everyone that you love and everything that is good; and that for ALL eternity !

"It is a fearful thing to fall into

the hands of the living GOD."

(Hebrews 10:31)

Here is how to be saved "from so great a death!"

The Bible says, "that the goodness of GOD leadeth thee to repentance" (Romans 2:4). If you would be willing to turn to GOD in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

GOD's promise to you is everlasting life, when you come to HIM in repentance and faith.

"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)

"BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation" (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b). You may not have a tomorrow !

"Daughters of Sara"

 

1st.Peter 3:1-6 "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands: that, if any obey not the WORD, they also may without the WORD be won by the conversation (conduct) of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of GOD of great price.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in GOD, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement (terror)."

Sara's journey, with GOD, began many centuries ago when she left the "...Ur of Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan..." (Genesis 11:31). Little did she know that her remarkable life would touch so many. She only had one child, Isaac, and she was ninety years old when he was born.

The LORD said of Sara, "...I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her" (Genesis 17:16). Think about the lineage of Sara and of all the greats who were descendants of her. What the LORD began in her life is continuing today.

In out text, we are told of something else the LORD began with Sara. He began a line of godly women that HE calls "Sara's Daughters."

Our nation's history has witnessed many women's movements come and go. Some have helped women, and some have hurt women.

What the LORD began with Sara has helped women all through human history. Who are the "Daughters of Sara," and what do they believe and stand for ?

1. They Believe that the LORD has a Plan for Every Life.

1st.Peter 3:5a "For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in GOD..."

The LORD had a plan for Sara's life. HE has a plan for ALL women.

GOD wants ALL women to know HIM. "...who trusted in GOD..." Genesis 3:5a "And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6). Sara came to CHRIST the same way Abraham came to CHRIST, by faith. 1st.John 5:13 says, "The things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the SON of GOD; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the SON of GOD."

Do you know CHRIST as your personal SAVIOR ?

HE wants ALL women to know and do HIS will. Genesis 17:16a says, "And I will bless her..." The LORD wants to bless women. It is possible to live a GOD-blessed life. The secret to having GOD's richest blessing is to surrender to HIM. Give your life to do GOD's will, and GOD will bless you.

Do you believe the LORD has a plan for your life ? Are you willing to surrender to follow it ? The "Daughters of Sara" believe that the LORD has a plan for their life, and they are willing to surrender to it.

2. They Believe that They are to "Adorn Themselves" with the Beauty of the LORD.

1st.Peter 3:5b, "For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in GOD, adorned themselves..." The daughters of Sara have discovered the true beauty of the LORD.

It is NOT physical beauty. 1st.Peter 3:3 says, "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;"  Thank the LORD that HE made women beautiful on the outside, but that is not where the beauty of the LORD is found.

True beauty is found on the inside. 1st.Peter 3:4 says, "But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of GOD of great price."

All women look different on the outside (unless they are identical twins), but all women can have the same beauty of the LORD on the inside. "...the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit..."

Meekness is not weakness, "...a meek...spirit..."  Numbers 12:3 says, "Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth."  Moses was a meek man, but he was not a weak man. Paul reminds us of the "...the meekness and gentleness of CHRIST..." in 2nd.Corinthians 10:1a

The LORD JESUS was not weak.

Sara was a meek woman. She had a gentle strength. Quiet is not silence "...a...quiet spirit..."

Ecclesiastes 9:17 says, "The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools." (Also read Proverbs 1:33, 17:1; Ecclesiastes 4:6).

It is in a quiet spirit that we commune with GOD. Sara understood the importance of quietness. The world may have been coming apart on the outside, but on the inside, there was a peace and quiet.

1st.Peter 3:5c says"...being in subjection unto their own husbands."

This sounds hard for women. We must first remember that a woman is a type of the church, in the home, and a picture of the HOLY SPIRIT. 

Her role in marriage is to demonstrate the church in subjection to CHRIST. 1st.Peter 3:6a says, "Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord..." Other verses to help understand this powerful truth are Ephesians 5:22-24 and Colossians 3:18.

The LORD has given wives a guiding spirit. 1st.Timothy 5:14 says, "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully." A woman's spirit is much stronger than a man's spirit.

She can control a home with her spirit for the good or the bad. The Bible says, "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, then with a brawling woman in a wide house . . . It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman." (Proverbs 21:9,19).

She can create a presence of CHRST with her spirit. 1st.Peter 3:4 says, "But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of GOD of great price."

The "Daughters of Sara" know how to use their spirit for good !

" A B C It's Simple To Be Saved ! "

 

Salvation is simple, but it is not cheap.

It cost JESUS CHRIST everything so that salvation could be offered to us freely. GOD had provided salvation on a basis which makes it available to everyone and anyone who wants it. If salvation could be received on the basis of Education, multitudes would be excluded. If eternal life could be had on the basis of Wealth, the vast majority of people would be left out. If being saved were dependent upon a person's Moral Perfection, everyone would fall short. GOD has made HIS salvation available on the basis of a personal faith which even a child can exercise. This way, EVERYONE is viewed on the same level in the eyes of GOD. All must come to HIM on the same terms. (Romans 3:9-10). Paul said, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works, lest any many should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).

How simple is it to be saved ?

1. It is as simple as entering a door. "I AM the DOOR; by ME if any man enter in, he shall be saved. . ." (John 10:9a).

2. It is as simple as calling for help. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).

3. It is as simple as coming when called. "Come unto ME, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28).

4. It is as simple as receiving a gift. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD." (Romans 6:23).

5. It is as simple as drinking water. JESUS said, "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14).

6. It is as simple as eating bread. JESUS said, "For the bread of GOD is HE which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world. . .I AM the living bread which came down from Heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall liver forever:" (John 6:33,51).

7. It is as simple as believing the Gospel. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4).

8. It is as simple as believing GOD. "Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life:" (John 6:47).

Many people stumble at the simplicity of salvation. They often feel that they must do something to earn or deserve such a wonderful offer. Yes, something had to be done so that salvation could be offered to us freely, but JESUS did it ALL. All you must do is believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again. You then must repent and turn to GOD from your sin. Repentance is a turning from something to something; in this case you are turning to GOD from your sin. You then can receive HIM into your heart.

Why not make that all-important decision which will transform your life and bring you into a right relationship with GOD ? It is so very simple, and it works.

It's simply up to you !

Are you willing to settle the matter of your eternal destiny ? Will you do it ? You can, right this moment; right where you are. "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).

If you would be willing to turn to GOD in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

GOD's promise for you is everlasting life:

"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).

Don't put it off, you may not have another day: "BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corinthians 6:2b).

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
