God's Gift
We’re glad you’re reading this, and we know that it isn’t by accident. We want to help people come to life and to experience the radical grace that God offers through a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. There are five things you need to know:
HEAVEN IS A FREE GIFT!
It is not earned or deserved. No amount of effort or good works can earn
a place for you in heaven. Why?
Because . . .
MAN IS A SINNER.
“For all have sinned . . .” (Rom. 3:23). Because of this, man cannot save
himself.
GOD.
On the one hand, God is merciful and does not want to
punish us. Yet God is just and must punish sin. God solved this problem
for us in the Person of . . .
JESUS CHRIST.
He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the
grave to purchase a place for us in heaven--“the Lord has laid on Him
(Jesus) the iniquity of us all” (Isa. 53:6).
THE GIFT IS RECEIVED BY FAITH.
Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. It means
resting on Christ alone and what He has done, rather than what you or
I have done to get us into heaven. “Believe on (or trust in) the Lord Jesus
Christ and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
SO MAY WE ASK . . .
Have you received God’s free gift of eternal life? The Bible assures us in
1 John 5:13 that we can know we have eternal life.
Do you know for sure that you are going to heaven when you die? The
Bible says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you are willing to repent (turn away from your sin and to the Lord Jesus) you
can receive the free gift of eternal life by simply praying:
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But I believe You died and rose from
the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take
control of my life, forgive my sins, and save me. I am now placing my trust in
You alone for my salvation, and I accept your free gift of eternal life.
