Life's most important question is simply this:
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME AFTER I DIE?
The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ is mankind's only hope for eternal life. Please
consider the following to
answer life's most important question:
1. WE HAVE ALL BROKEN GOD'S LAWS.
"For all have sinned and come short..." (Rom. 3:23)
"...There is none righteous, no not one." (Rom. 3:10)
"...sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4)
- We don't like to admit it, but each of us has gone our own way and done as we
pleased at times.
- God calls doing what we want to do instead of what He commands sin.
2. A HOLY GOD WILL NOT OVERLOOK SIN.
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Rom. 6:23)
"...be sure your sin will find you out." (Num. 32:23)
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
(Rev. 20:15)
- The wages of our sins must be paid—we each must pay for our sins by physical
death and eternal death in the lake of fire (hell). God is holy. Sin will not remain
unpunished.
3. GOD LOVES US- CHRIST DIED FOR US!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in
him should not
perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that , while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us." (Rom. 5:8)
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son..." (1 John
4:10)
- God knows where we've been and what we've done. God loves us despite the
way we've behaved!
- God proved His love for us in sending His Son to pay for our sins upon the
cross at Calvary.
- The innocent Savior paid for the sins of guilty sinners.
4. TRUST CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR
"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." (Rom. 10:9)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Rom. 10:13)
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
(Eph. 2:8)
- Salvation is not earned by any good work. Salvation is not given out by any
Church or denomination.
- Salvation is given to individuals by God when they admit their sins and place
their faith in Christ as Savior.
- Real faith is more than knowing that Christ died and rose again. Saving faith is
trusting the living Savior by receiving Him into your heart and life.
HOW TO RECEIVE CHRIST AS SAVIOR:
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that
believe on his name." (John 1:12)
1. Admit that you are guilty, and that your sins have separated you from God.
- Be willing to turn (repent) from your sins
2. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins and is alive
again from the dead.
3. Call upon Jesus to forgive your sins and come into your life as your Savior.
- Why wouldn't YOU receive Christ as Savior right NOW? If you want to be saved,
pray this from your heart:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I have broken your laws, and I'm sorry. Please forgive
me. I believe you died for my sins, and are alive today. Come into my heart and
be my Savior. I now accept you as my Savior, and trust you to get me heaven.
Thank you Jesus. Amen.
- If you prayed this prayer from your heart, according to the Bible- YOU ARE
SAVED!

A Savior's Sacrificial Love
One of the most well-known verses in the Bible that speaks to this truth
is found in John 3:16 KJV, which states, "For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life." This verse speaks to the
magnitude of God's love for humanity, which is demonstrated through
the sacrifice of His Son.
It also reminds us of the sinless life that Jesus lived, which is another
important theme in the Bible. In Hebrews 4:15 KJV, we read, "For we
have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
This verse speaks to the fact that Jesus was fully human, yet He lived a
life without sin, making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
Furthermore, the passage speaks to the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
which is another central theme in the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 15:17 KJV,
we read, "And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
your sins." This verse highlights the fact that the resurrection of Jesus is
crucial to our faith. Without it, our faith would be meaningless.
Finally, the passage speaks to the call for us to love and serve others,
which is another important theme in the Scripture. In Mark 12:30-31 KJV,
that we read, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment
greater than these." At this verse emphasizes the importance of loving
God and loving others, which is a key aspect of our faith.
The passage beautifully captures the essence of the Gospel message,
which is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. It is a message of love,
sacrifice, redemption, and hope, which is rooted in the teachings of the
Bible. May we be inspired by the message of the passage and the
teachings of the Bible, and may we live our lives in a way that honors
the sacrifice of the Son of God and brings glory to His name.
