Welcome! No matter how you arrived at this page, it was not an accident. God has guided you here and He has some very good news for you if you will read on. Heaven is a completely FREE
gift! Many people are under the impression that God is weighing your good
deeds against your bad deeds and that in the end He will either welcome
you into heaven or not based on the outcome. You should be relieved to
hear that your future does not depend on your performance! You'll notice eternal life is called a gift and, as we all know, a genuine gift is completely free. That means you could never work for the gift of eternal life any more than you could work for a birthday gift! Why is Heaven free? Here's what the Bible has to
say about it: There's that word again - GIFT. It's clear that heaven is a gift of God. But why can't we earn it? Man is a sinner... Unfortunately, even if we
wanted to earn our place in heaven, we couldn't because man is a sinner.
Well, God says there is one
way to save yourself: I don't know about you but
that leaves me out! In fact, No matter how good you may be surely you've sinned at least once in your life. It doesn't matter how large or small the sin was. Sin is sin - there is no "sin scale" -- and sin will keep you out of heaven. But don't get discouraged. God has found a way to hook us up! God is Merciful Fortunately for us, God
doesn't want to punish us because He is merciful and full of love. BUT, God is just, therefore
it's His obligation to punish sin. So this leaves us with what appears to be a big problem: Man is a sinner... God is just a bit smarter than we are, and came up with the perfect solution to this problem in the person of Christ Jesus. That's why Jesus lived!
God sent his Son into the
world to remedy this problem. To understand God's plan you must first
understand who Jesus really is.
God entered our world in the
form of Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless perfect life. When He died on the
cross, he took our place and actually paid the penalty that was intended
for US!
He offers US the privilege of eternal life as a GIFT. The trick is receiving that free gift. Faith is the Way, but faith
is more than just believing in Jesus.
Faith is even more than just trusting God for all your needs (financial, physical, emotional, etc.)
Faith IS trusting in Jesus Christ alone for SALVATION. It means you're depending on Him alone, NOT on yourself, to get to heaven.
What do I do now?... Would you like to receive this free gift? If you really want to receive God's gift of eternal life all you have to do is:
God tells us in Revelation: 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock, whoever hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with Me. If this is what you really want you can sincerely pray the prayer below: God I understand now that heaven is a free gift and that there is nothing I can do to earn or deserve it. I understand that my sin has separated myself from you and that I can't save myself I know that you love me and don't want to punish me but that you are a just God and must punish my sin. I now understand that Jesus your son came in the flesh to earth, died on a cross, and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for my sin and purchase a place for me in heaven. I understand that this gift is received by faith and I now turn from my sin and trust in Christ alone as my only hope for eternal life. Please forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart. I confess you now Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen! If you prayed the above
prayer in faith, you have just received the best gift a person could ever
have! The bible says you have been "Born Again" into the family of God!
And your prayer has had a more awesome impact than you know.
