Where do people go when they die? Do they just cease to exist? Do humans possess a soul that will live on forever? People like yourself wonder about these questions every day. The truth is you are a living soul and God has devised a plan where you can spend your eternity with Him in the life to come. This plan involves your decision to trust in Jesus Christ with all your heart and soul. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:23-26). Jesus made it very clear that there are not numerous ways to get to Heaven, but only one way- He is the way. The Bible records Jesus’ words this way, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me” (John 14:6)
God is offering you eternal life. The Bible says, “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” (John 3:16) God loves you! In fact, he loves you so much that His only Son, Jesus died on a cross to pay your sin debt, was buried in a tomb for three days, and came to life again on the third day, proving His power over death. Death no longer reigns because of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that sin (disobedience to God’s will) has separated us from God and condemned us to Hell (Romans 3:23). However, God offers eternal life to us as a free gift through Jesus Christ. The Bible puts it this way, “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Does this make sense to you? If it does, wouldn’t you like to trust Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? If you are willing to put your faith in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your own personal Lord and Savior, you need to pray. The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13)
Why not tell God right now, in your own words that you are sorry for your sin and that you believe Jesus Christ died for you and rose from the grave. Tell God that you are trusting Him right now as your personal Savior; you accept His forgiveness from sin and by faith receive the eternal life He has provided for you. Tell God you want him to be your leader and the Lord of your life. Tell him that you are willing to surrender your life to Him and follow His leadership.
If you trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, you spend eternity in heaven with Jesus.
