good news

I am asking you the most important question of life. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? 


God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “You must be born again.” 


In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? 


First, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). 


Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. 


“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). 


But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). 


“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). 


Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie. 


My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. 


Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as 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). 


“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). 


Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it! 


To become born-again and have a personal relationship with Christ pray to God today: "Lord I believe I am a sinner and I confess my sins to you. I beleive that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and took the penalty that I deserved. I believe that He rose again three days later to give me new life. Lord save me, come into my life and change me. Show me what it means to be a child of God. I want you to be my Lord and Savior. Amen!" 


If you would like someone to show you more about this personal relationship with Christ through the scriptures please contact someone at our church, we would be glad to help.


Don't trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change.
