Can I ask you an important question?

If you died today and God asked you, "Why should I allow you to enter My heaven?" What would you say?

What if...
You were wrong, would you want to know the truth?

Good Works
Can doing good deeds make us right with God? No! Good works cannot save us because even our best works are unacceptable to God.

"All of our righteous deeds are like filthy rags." Isaiah 64:6

Religion
Can baptism or church membership make you right with God? No! Religion cannot make us right with God because religion is simply man’s way to reach God.

"Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:20

Morality
Can being a good person make you right with God? No! Because even the best person still sins.

"There is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins." Ecclesiastes 7:20

What must you know in order to be right with God?

All have sinned
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

Death is the payment
"The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23

Not physical death, but spiritual and eternal death which is separation from God.

The gift of God
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

In order to enter into a personal relationship with God you must...

Admit
That you have sinned against God and there is nothing you can do to save yourself.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Proverbs 16:25

Believe
That Jesus Christ is the one and only God who died as a substitute for your sin.

"For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5

"If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved." Romans 10:9

Forgiveness of sin and eternal life is found in Him

"Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins." Acts 10:43

"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." John 17:3

Commit
Commit yourself to follow Him as your personal Savior and Lord.

"For as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." John 1:12

Commit yourself to turn from sin.

"Unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:5

Call
Upon Christ to save you and be your Lord

"Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, will be saved." Romans 10:13

"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on Him and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:6-7

What prevents you from calling upon Christ to save you now?

Receive Christ today!
"Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, will be saved." Romans 10:13
