Heaven
Is A Free Gift
GRACE
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
(Romans 6:23)
We can't earn our way to heaven and none of us really
deserves to go. It is a gift.
MAN
We Are All Sinners
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God." (Romans 3:23)
Every person who has ever lived has missed God's standard
of perfection.
GOD
He Loves Us
"God is love." (1 John 4:8)
While God loves us and doesn't want to punish us, we
should also know that, as a just God, He must punish
sin. "The soul who sins shall die." (Ezekiel
18:4)
CHRIST
God Balanced Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Jesus is the infinite God-man, God in the flesh. He
died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the
penalty for our sins and to purchase a place for us
in heaven, which He offers as a free gift.
FAITH
The Gift Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith
Saving faith is not merely intellectual assent. It is
trusting in Jesus Christ alone and what He has done
rather than what we can do to get us to heaven. "What
must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and you will be saved." (Acts 16:30b, 31)
The Bible says, "Whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
You can do that now 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.
If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart,
look at the promise of Jesus, "Most assuredly,
I say to you, he who believes in Me has eternal life."
(John 6:47)
If you, having read this, trusted Jesus for eternal
life, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what
God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually.
