JESUS CHRIST SAVES
Are You Really Saved? There Is Only One Way to Get to Heaven
Maybe you are a really, really good person so you deserve to go to Heaven. You only tell little white lies once in a while; you don't claim all your income, but you don't steal from stores; and you really hate the neighbor next door, but you've never killed anyone. Technically, that makes you a liar, a thief, and a murderer. A murderer? God says that he who hates his "brother" has killed. You've also never had an affair, but when you think about having sex with your neighbor's wife, you've already done it in your heart. So you're also an adulterer.
Wow! You really would be kept out of Heaven if you died right now. Only people with absolutely no sins are accepted into Heaven. That's where Jesus Christ comes in. Jesus is the only one who has ever been perfect and without sin. BUT, Jesus died so you could be saved! When Jesus died, He willingly bore the sin of the whole world - past, present and future. He paid the fine in full for all of your crimes. Your bill has been taken care of, and you are made perfect - that is, if you accept Him. Another condition? Yes, you must accept Jesus.
But, maybe you already go to church, you are a good person, and you even pray often. So you're fine, right? --- Have you been saved? Ah, you prayed the Sinner's Prayer. Sorry, God says nothing about the Sinner's Prayer in the Bible. That lie came from the devil and is continued by so many who believe men's books instead of the Bible. (These men wouldn't make as many millions of dollars if they did not make you think that salvation was instantaneous and effortless!) You're not saved. --- But you were baptized as a baby! No, infant baptism has nothing to do with salvation, and you're still not saved.
Until you are saved, most of your prayers do not even reach God, because God can only accept the prayers of perfect people. Jesus does take the prayers of those that are seeking salvation, seeking a relationship with God, to God. You can't be saved through prayer alone, but God can lead you to someone who will show you the Word or send someone to you. When you are saved, Jesus (who is perfect) takes your prayers directly to God. (more on whose prayer God hears)
Come on in and see how to be saved!
