Who is Good?

Romans 3:10
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" KJV


Who has sinned?


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


What is the Eternal cost of your sin?

Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." KJV

You cannot save yourself from Hell.

Romans 3:20
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." KJV


God has provided the way to escape Hell.


Romans 5:8-9
8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." KJV


You must place your complete Faith in Jesus Christ.


Romans 10:9
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." KJV


God's promise to you.

Romans 4:24-25
24 "But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." KJV



Please don't wait any longer to accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour. You don't know when you might die. You may die tonight. The Bible tells us that after we die, we have no more chances to believe in Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 9:27
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" KJV


If you die without believing in Jesus, you will burn forever in Hell. Please, believe and repent of your sins. I don't want you going to Hell and God doesn't either.

2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." KJV


Know that God doesn't send you to Hell, you send yourself by not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. He has gave you the way to Salvation. All you have to do is believe and repent of your sins. Hell wasn't made for you. It was made for the devil and his angels.

Matthew 25:41
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" KJV


So, what is your decision? Will you deny Christ and take the chance on burning in Hell forever? The Bible tells us that the fire will never quit burning and you'll never die. No matter how much you scream and cry, it will be too late. You'll be stuck in Hell for eternity. You had your chance, but you denied God and God cannot let sin enter into Heaven.

Mark 9:48
"Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." KJV


If you accept that Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried and rose on the third day by the power of God, you will be saved from Hell and you will live with God in Heaven forever. There will be no more death, sorrow, crying, etc in Heaven.

Revelation 21:4
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." KJV


So, heres your chance. Pray to God and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. The Bible tells us when we get saved, we're made a new creature in Christ and all our sins are forgiven by the Blood of Christ alone, not by works.

2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." KJV


Ephesians 2:8-9
8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." KJV


If you get saved, you will have a new heart. You won't be perfect, but the Holy Spirit will convict your heart when you sin. Strive to keep God's law because we show our love towards Him when we keep His law.

John 14:15
"If ye love me, keep my commandments." KJV


As Christians we need to grow in Christ. Read the Bible and and study it daily.

2 Timothy 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." KJV


Be careful with who you hang out with because hanging out with the wrong people can lead you away from God.

1 Corinthians 15:33
"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." KJV


Find yourself a good Bible Believing church. Be careful though, there are some false prophets out there that preach a different gospel. They may seem nice, but they are misleading you.

Matthew 7:15
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." KJV


I hope this post has opened your eyes and I pray that you have or will accept Jesus Christ before it is too late. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Love in Christ and God Bless
