Have you ever wondered where you will go when you die? Some people believe that when they die their bodies decay in the grave
and that's it, end of story. Others believe that their souls enter new bodies, reincarnated in an endless quest for perfection.
Still others believe that their souls are one with mother nature, so they reunite with a living breathing mother earth. However,
the Bible, God's Word, tells a much different story. The Bible tells us that we are "once to die and then the judgement".
However, there is a way to be sure, a way to be certain that you will go to Heaven when you die. It is God's simple plan
of salvation outlined in the Book of Romans. There are just a few easy steps on this "Romans Road to Salvation".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE SINNED. EVERYBODY
must be saved! Because Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." No one is "good
enough". We ALL must be saved. No one is "so bad" they can't be saved. No one can DO enough good things to
be saved. We must acknowledge that we are sinners in NEED of being saved.
2. REALIZE THAT THERE IS A PENALTY FOR
SIN. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death". Death, is eternal separation from God, in hell. This is
why it's essential to be saved. What does it cost? Romans 6:23 also says, "the gift of God, is eternal life through Jesus
Christ". Eternal Life is a FREE GIFT! It is free, because Jesus loves us. He loves us even though we are sinners.
3. REALIZE THAT JESUS CHRIST PAID THE PENALTY OF SIN FOR YOU AND ME. Romans 5:8 says, "But God commendeth His love
toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
4. CONFESS YOUR FAITH IN JESUS. Believe that
He forgives you. Romans 10:9 says, "if you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, you SHALL be saved".
5. ASK JESUS THROUGH PRAYER TO SAVE YOU. Romans 10:13 says,
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved".
RECEIVE JESUS TODAY by praying:
Lord Jesus, I now realize that I'm the sinner and you are the Savior. I now turn from my sin of unbelief. I now receive
your grace, your gift, your forgiveness. I now receive Jesus into my heart. Thank you for giving me eternal life.
