Where Is Your Destiny?
My Friend: I am asking you the most important
question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all
ETERNITY depends upon it. The question is: Are you
SAVED? I mean...ARE YOU SURE you will go to
Heaven when you die? It is not: Are you a member of
some church?...but, ARE YOU SAVED?
No one can enjoy the blessings of God, nor go to
Heaven without being saved. Jesus said to Nicodemus
in John 3:7, "YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN." God gives
us in His word the ONLY plan for Salvation. The plan
is simple. You can be saved TODAY.
First, my friend, you must realize YOU ARE A SINNER.
"There is none righteous, no, not one.""For there
is no difference: For ALL have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God."(Romans 3:10, 22, 23.
There is NO CHANCE to be saved unless you come to
realize you are a SINNER.
Because you are a sinner, you are CONDEMNED
TO DIE.
"For the wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)
"Sin, bringeth forth death." (James 1:15)
This means separation from God, in HELL, FOREVER.
How terrible. Yes, my friend, but it is true. But God
loved you so much that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN
SON, Jesus Christ, as your SUBSTITUTE, Who
bore YOUR sin, and died in YOUR place.
"He hath made HIM, (Jesus) to be SIN for US, who
knew no sin; that WE might BE MADE the RIGHT-
EOUSNESS of God in HIM." (2 Corinthians 5:21).
"Who His OWN SELF bare OUR sins in HIS own
body on the tree, that WE, being dead to sins, should
live unto righteousness: by whose stripes YE WERE
HEALED." (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus had to die. He had to shed HIS BLOOD. "For
the LIFE of the flesh IS IN THE BLOOD." (Leviticus
17:11.) "Without the SHEDDING OF BLOOD there is
no remission." (Hebrews 9:22)
Now we cannot understand how our sin was laid
upon Jesus, but God says in HIS WORD that it was.
SO YOUR SIN, my friend, was laid UPON JESUS and
HE DIED IN YOUR PLACE. It is true. God cannot lie.
The Phillippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: "What
must I DO to be SAVED?"
"And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
Simply believe on Him as the One who bore YOUR
SIN, DIED in YOUR PLACE, was buried and was
raised for YOUR JUSTIFICATION. Now call upon Him.
"For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the
Lord, SHALL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:13)
The first prayer for a SINNER to pray is given in
(Luke 18:13)--"God be merciful TO ME A SINNER."
Now you are a sinner and surely you are sorry because
of it. Right NOW, whereever you are lift your heart to
God in prayer. It does not take a long, loud prayer, for
God is ANXIOUS to save you. Just say: Oh God, I am a
sinner, I am sorry, I repent, have MERCY upon me, and
SAVE me for Jesus' sake. Now just take HIM at His Word.
"For WHOSOEVER,(that includes YOU) shall call
upon the name of the Lord, SHALL BE SAVED." (Romans 10:13)
Just take God at His WORD. When you have done
what He has asked, CLAIM SALVATION BY FAITH,
according to HIS WORD. BELIEVE AND THOU SHALT
BE SAVED. No church, no lodge, no good works, NO
ONE BUT JESUS ONLY CAN SAVE YOU
The simple plan of salvation is: YOU ARE A SINNER;
because you are a sinner you MUST DIE or else
believe on Christ who was YOUR SUBSTITUTE and died
in YOUR PLACE, was buried and was raised again.
Just call upon GOD, REALIZING you are a sinner and
ask Him to have mercy upon you and save you for
JESUS' SAKE. Then just take HIM AT HIS WORD and
BY FAITH CLAIM SALVATION. You say, "Surely that
is not all that is necessary to do to be saved." Yes, it is,
absolutely all. Thank God many have been won to
Christ by this simple plan. It is SCRIPTURAL. IT IS
GOD'S PLAN. My friend, BELIEVE IT AND FOLLOW
IT TODAY. Now is the time--Today is the day.
"Behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW
is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2)
"Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not
what a day may bring forth." (Proverbs 27:1)
If this is not perfectly clear, PLEASE READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN
until you understand it. YOUR SOUL is worth more than all the world.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose HIS OWN SOUL? Or what shall a
man give in exchange for his soul.?" (Mark 8:36-37)
BE SURE YOU ARE SAVED. YOU NEED SALVATION
ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE. IF YOU LOSE
YOUR SOUL YOU MISS HEAVEN AND LOSE ALL.
GOD HELP YOU TO BE SAVED TODAY.
He will save you and also KEEP YOU!
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is
common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with
the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to hear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)
DO NOT trust your feelings. They change.
STAND on GOD'S PROMISES. They NEVER change.
AFTER YOU ARE SAVED THERE ARE THREE THINGS
TO PRACTICE DAILY FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH:
PRAY..You talk to God.
READ YOUR BIBLE...God talks to you.
WITNESS...You talk for God.
THEN YOU SHOULD BE BAPTIZED
and unite with a Bible-believing church.
"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess before My Father which is in
Heaven." (Matthew 10:32)
JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY,
PLEASE DO NOT TURN HIM AWAY!
