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."
