We were all born sinners, destined for eternal separation from God without a Savior …
Romans 3:10-11, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
The Bible says that our sins deserve eternal judgement and damnation, and that unless we are saved, we are doomed to live eternally in Hell forever.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Luke 13:28, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”
But God has intervened and sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to be your Savior, and to give you life! This is the Christian Gospel!
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 3:16, “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.”
The Bible teaches that Jesus died in your place, and that he freely offers you his righteousness and Heaven itself, if you will receive it.
Romans 5:6-8 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
The sad truth is that many men and women, boys and girls, will refuse Christ’s offer of salvation, believing that they are able to stand before God alone on the day of judgement … but this is not true.
Ezekiel 33:11, “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
Luke 13:34, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!”
So … what will you do? Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior? Will you embrace the Gospel that is offered to you today?
Deuteronomy 30:19, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”
We would rejoice to meet with you, and to show you where we have found the Water of Life. May God give you the desire to come!
Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
