My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon it. 'Ihe question is: Are you saved/ I mean...are you sure you will get to Heaven when you die? It is not: Arc you a member of some church?...but, arc you saved? It is not: How good are you?...but, are you saved?
No one can enjoy the blessings of (iod nor go to Heaven without being saved. Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:7, “Ye must be bom again.” Clod gives us in His Word the only plan for Salvation. 'Ihe plan is simple! You can be saved today.
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “There is none righteous, no, not one.”“l;or there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of Clod.” (Romans 3:10, 22, 23).
There is no chance to be saved unless you come to realize you are a sinner.
Because you arc a sinner, you are condemned to die.
“For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
“Sin... bringeth forth death” (James 1:15).
This means separation from God in hell forever. How terrible! Yes, my friend, but it is true. But God loved you so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as your substitute, who bore your sin and died in your place.
“He hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of Clod in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes yc were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
Jesus had to die. He had to shed His blood. “For the life of the flesh is In the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). “Without th* shedding of blood thtrt is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22).
Now we cannot understand how our sin was laid upon Jesus, but Clod says in Hia Word that it was. So your sin, my friend, was laid upon Jesus and He died in your place, it is true. Clod cannot lie.
The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas:“What must 1 do to be saved?”
“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, tiled in your place was buried and was raised for your Justification. Now call upon Him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).
The first prayer for a sinner to pray it given in Luke 18:13: “God be merciful to me a sinner."
Now yo you arc sorry wherever you
u are a sinner and surely
because of it. Right now.
are, lift your heart to God
