Good News!


Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this
life has ended?


Push the "up" button on the elevator or just step onto the escalator going
up?



Some people believe that belonging to a local church,
temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.


Some people believe doing good deeds to those who need help and following
the Basic Golden Rules will earn a trip.


Others believe that water baptism, obeying the ten
commandments or just being a good person will get
them to Heaven.


Very true.

There are many other beliefs as well, but the good
news about God's way to Heaven is found in the
Holy Bible.


True.


The good news is that God came from Heaven to earth in
the person of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago and
died for our sins(misdeeds). He was born in the land
of Israel supernaturally to a virgin Jewish woman
named Mary. He lived a sinless life for thirty-three
years and then sacrificed His sinless blood and died
on a cross to pay the death penalty for our sins.


That's true, but the Romans had a bit of a play on that too. They killed
Him.


After Jesus was placed in a tomb He rose from the dead
three days later as He said He would. The Holy Bible
also tells us that Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven
and that all who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour
will live forever with Him in Heaven where there is no
more death, sorrow, sickness and pain.


and no taxes.


The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death, but
the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus
our Lord." (Romans 6:23)


True.


This verse in the Bible says, "For ALL HAVE SINNED, and
come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)



True.


This verse says, "But God demonstrates his own love for
us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died
for us." (Romans 5:8)


True.


In this passage the Bible clearly explains how simple it
is to be saved and on your way to Heaven, "For if you
confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you
WILL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:9)


Somewhat true. But if it was a question of true or false, I'd say true.


You can be saved right now and on your way to Heaven if
you will open your heart to Jesus and pray the following
prayer:

Dear Jesus Christ, I want to be saved so that I can have
a home in Heaven when I die. I agree with You that I am a
sinner. I believe You love me and want to save me. I
believe that You bled and died on the cross to pay the
penalty for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead.
Please forgive my sins and come into my heart and be my
Lord and Saviour. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for
forgiving me and saving me through Your merciful grace.
Amen.


Done that.

You are now a Christian if you said the prayer and allowed
God to save you. Welcome to the family of God.


I'm been a Christian since I got my head wet by our Revenerend pouring water
on me at our Anglican church many years ago.


Salvation is not a reward but a gift. The Bible says it
this way, "For it is by GRACE you have been SAVED,
through FAITH and this not from yourselves, it is the
GIFT of God." (Ephesians 2:8)



True.
Nothing in the world is more important than your eternal
destiny.



except paying the credit card more than the minimum amount and paying the
bills and ensuring your employer vacuums off
the right amount of taxes to be turned over to the gummint.



The Bible says, "In Him(Jesus) we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins..." (Ephesians 1:7)


True.


If you have not yet made a decision to be saved, please do
so now before it is too late. The reason why it is so
important to be saved now is because you do not know
exactly when you will die. You may die prematurely in a
traffic accident, terrorist attack or some other way before
you get another chance to be saved.


Already been saved.


The Bible tells us that we will spend eternity in Heaven or
a place of eternal torment called Hell. It would be terrible
to die and go to Hell when all you have to do is accept
Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour.


Now that is very true. It's tough to be able to sleep in a hot and humid
climate.


Some people that have already made Jesus Christ their Lord
and Saviour worry about losing their salvation. The Bible
teaches Christians that we can never lose our salvation no
matter what happens.


True.


The Bible says it this way, "My dear children, I write this to
you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin,
we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense
Jesus Christ, the Righteous One." (1John 2:1)


Could be true.


Yes my friend, Jesus Christ is able to save you and keep you
saved.


Already has.

Please tell your family and friends, thanks!


No need. They know.


Have a great day!


Seems to be, since I wrote my amateur radio test today and I think I passed.
