Have you ever sinned?
Actually, believe it or not, the Bible says in Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." And then in Roman 6:23 "The wages of sin is death..."
So, bummer - we have all sinned and then because of sin we are all going to die (death means separation from God - Hell) Not cool! Literally!
The second part of that verse says, "...but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 5:8 says, "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
We are all doomed for Hell - but Jesus died on the cross and took all of our sins, sickness, and even poverty so that we wouldn't have to. If we receive Him into our hearts, we receive forgiveness of sins, health and prosperity. That's a pretty good exchange.
Going to Heaven is a Free Gift from God! Pray this prayer, "Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and took all my sins, sickness and poverty. I give you my life. I now make Jesus my Lord and Savior. Amen." Congratulations! If you just prayed that prayer, and meant it in your heart, you can know for sure that you are going to heaven. |
