3 .'..V : i:. ' ^ In h0gyein pr hsll? (Extract frorn Doug ; GQX) Why would God let you in to His heaven? Many feel the "good Lord" would let them in. Others feel God isn't going to send anyone to hell or that neither heaven nor hell are real. What do you have to do to go to hell? NOTHINGI What do you have to do to go to heaven? "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shaft be saved" (Acts 16:31). t ask you, "Are you SAVED?" Saved from he!!? We all want forgiveness of our sins, but how do we get rid of our sins? Many know they are guilty of sinning, but they balance that guilt by blaming others, circumstances, or even God. Blame won't help. First, I knew I was a sinner, because I was born in sin at birth (Rom. 3:23). Adam sinned and so death passed upon me (Rom. 5:12). I sinned against God and didn't do what was right (James 4:17). Second, I knew I was unsaved. As a teenager, I heard a preacher say I am going to hell unless I personally trust or believe what the Bible says about Jesus Christ's dying, shedding His precious blood to wash my sins away forever and that He rose again for me (I Cor. 15:3,4). Third, I believed and Christ gave me eternal life (Rom 1:16). When I trusted Christ as my personal Saviour, He forgave all my sins past, present and future. I have newness of life in Christ (Rom. 6:4). Finally, i received His salvation with a solid assurance that I will never lose it (Col. 2:2; i Thes. 1:5). You and I will spend eternity somewhere either heaven or hell. When the devil makes me doubt, / remind him that I was saved by what Jesus Christ did on the Cross. \m saved by what the Bible says, NOT (Eph. 2:8-9). Now what about you? God, the Bible, heaven, and hell are real. He is calling to you right now. I ask you to trust Christ as your personal Saviour today. Believe in Christ's finished work on the Cross and He will help you as a new creation in Christ (II Cor. 5:17). Are you saved? Read the Bible. God will speak to you through His Word. / did, and God is everything to me now. He hears my every prayer. I know that when Christ returns in the clouds to call the saved home, I will go and God will welcome me in! I'm family!

4 WHAT IS HILL? In The Bible, Jesus Christ describes hell as: A lake of burning sulphur (fire) (Revelation 20:10-15) A place of torment (Luke 16:22-24) A place where lost souls never die- and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:43-48) A place of weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth (Matthew 25:30, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 24:51) A place where sinners and unbelievers drink of the wine of God's wrath (Revelation 14:10) A place where the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever (Revelation 14:11) A place where the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, adulterers, fornicators, sorcerers, murderers, idolaters and liars will spend eternity. (Revelation 21:8) When a person dies, he/she goes to heaven or to hell. There is no purgatory. Read the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man. (Luke 16:19-31) Can I escape from Hell? Yes, You can!

5 (EternalJife ERJMAIi.Lll Yes! You can have eternal life on the authority of God Almighty. How? Not by taking medicine. Not by good works. Not by good morals or even through church membership. Here is the only way you can have eternal life! There is a God in heaven who created the heavens and the earth. He created you and every person who has ever lived. He is a holy God - a God of love, a God of righteousness and a God of justice. He is also a God of wrath - taking vengeance upon every sin and sinner! God cannot tolerate sin! Adam and Eve, the first man and woman that God created, were tempted by Satan and sinned in the Garden of Eden. All sin is caused by Satan! Because of their sin, God had to thrust Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. We have all inherited a sinful nature from Adam and Eve. We all have sinned. Because of our sin, we are all going to be thrust into hell when we die. No sinner will be able to enter the presence of God and heaven unless they have taken advantage of the provision that God has made for their forgiveness. John 3:16 of the Bible states "For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus Christ) that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God commands every person to truly repent of their sins, and believe on His Only Begotten son Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Jesus came down from heaven, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a holy life, and finally died on the cross of Calvary, shedding His precious holy blood as atonement to God for our salvation - if we only believe in Him. Do you believe in Him? JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFEI Listen to some of the words spoken by Jesus while He was here on Earth: "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life"; "I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live"; "He that beiieveth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that beiieveth not shall be damned,"; "Ye must be bom again"; etc (extracts from the Bible) Everlasting life! Eternal life! What a thought! Whata truth! In heaven, there is no sickness, sorrow, death, pain, poverty and sin. We will have glorified bodies, eternal bliss and happiness. We will be with God and Jesus Christ forever, doing His will and exploring God's universe. We will live in the city of New Jerusalem miles high, city of pure gold, walls of Jasper, River of Life, Tree of life bearing 12 manner of fruit every month! (Read Revelation. Chapters 21-22) "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.")

6 As a good Christian soldier, I declare my loyalty, submission and obedience to the captain of the army of righteousness, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Being completely dependent on His grace, I surrender my life and consecrate it totally to Him. Through the power of the Spirit of Life that He has granted me and through His love, I cast out all fear and release myself from any bondage present in my life. As an act of my free will, I offer my life as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. While I live, I live unto the Lord, and when I die, I die unto the Lord; whether I live or die, I am the Lord's.! count all things as loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord: that I may experience His continual presence and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. Forgetting those things, which are behind, and reaching forward to those things, which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. I declare before all people that, by the grace of God, I will remain steadfast in my service to Him, knowing that my labour is not in vain. I will run the race that is before me with resolution, my eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I will fight the good fight; I will finish the race; I will keep the faith. AMEN JeSUS Loves YOU!
