The Truth About Eternity
There are big questions that haunt all of us. What happens when I die? Where will I spend eternity? The single most important question that you will ever answer is this - “If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?” Your relationship to Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
The Bible tells us in I John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life...” The simple truth is God wants you to know where you're going! So, here it is in a nutshell:
1. RECOGNIZE YOUR CONDITION.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. No matter how much good we do, we still fall short.
2. REALIZE THE PENALTY FOR SIN.
For the wages of sin is death....(Romans 6:23)
Just as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
3. BELIEVE CHRIST DIED FOR YOU.
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Christ's great love for us was shown when He died on the cross to pay our debt.
4. TRUST CHRIST ALONE AS YOUR SAVIOUR.
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
