ETERNAL LIFE!

DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN!???

"these things I have written unto you... that you may know that you have eternal life..." (1 John 5:13)


tht Bible states there are 5 things you need to know about eternal life!!!!!!!! below are the 5 things <3



___________________________________________________________________


1) ETERNAL LIFE IS A FREE GIFT!

the Bible says ".....the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

and because Heaven is a gift, like any other genuine gift....IT IS NOT EARNED OR DESERVED!


"for by grace are you saved throught faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)


Why is it that no one can earn his way into Heaven?

because....





2) MAN IS A SINNER!

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)


Sin is transgressing Gods law and includes such things as lying, lust, cheating, deceit, evil thoughts, immoral behavior and much more.


And Because of this.......

MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF!

however, in spite of our sin.......





3) GOD IS MERCIFUL!

and therefore He doesnt want to punish us.

the Bible says that ".....God is love" (1 John 4:8)

and He says "....i have loved you with an everlasting love...." (Jeremiah 31:3)


But the same Bible which tells us that God loves us, also tells us that God is just. and therefore must punish sin.

He says ......

"....(I) will by no means clear the guilty...." (Exodus 34:7)

"....the soul that sins, it shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4)


WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

On one hand, God loves us and doesnt want to punish us, but, on the other hand He is just and must punish sin.


God solved this problem for us in the person of.....





4) JESUS CHRIST!

who was He? the Bible tells us clearly that He is the infinite GOD-MAN!


"In the Beginning was the Word (Jesus)...and the Word (Jesus) was God. And the Word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us..." (John 1:1, 14)



Jesus Christ came to earth and lived a sinless life, but while on earth He dies on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for us. jesus christ bore out sin in His body no the cross and now offers you eternal life as a free gift!



5) FAITH! is the key that opens the door to Heaven.

saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ for eternal life. It means resting upon CHRIST ALONE and what HE HAS DONE rather than in what you have done to get to Heaven. "....Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved...." (Acts 16:31)



The question that God is asking you now is WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECIEVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE?

if so, then this means to : transfer your trust to Jesus, accept the living Christ as Savior, Recieve Jesus Christ as Lord, and REPENT!
