SALVATION: BY GRACE ONLY






John 3 verse 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (The Bible, New King James Version)



Is there anything more important than where we spend eternity? Do you know where you would go if you died today?
Christianity believes in One God in Three Persons, God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit. The Bible shows us  that God The Father sent His Son Jesus to die for the sins of all mankind on a cross nearly 2000 years ago. Sin represents the breaking of any of God's Holy laws as set out in His Word, the Bible.

The Bible tells us that without accepting the free gift of salvation through receiving Jesus Christ his son as our Lord and Saviour, we will be eternally separated from God in a place called Hell, a place of eternal spiritual, emotional, and physical pain and torment. A place of unceasing torment.

Romans 3:23 tell us that "For all hae sinned and have fallen  short of the glory of God.

 if you are one of the many people now days who  believe that they can go to heavean by good works then if you have ever looked at someone lustfully, told a little lie, been jealous of someone, couldn't forgive a person who hurt you, or put anything else other than God as more important in your life then your current destiny is separation from God for eternity in Hell, a real place too horrible even to imagine, but if you give your life to Jesus, and repent from sin, then you can have peace with God, and assurance of eternal life. 

~For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

                                                                                                                                 Ephesians 2:8-9


People that don't believe that there is a god always says that they will found out if there is a God when they die , i am like why gamble your eternity on a simple matter of if? what if you die and you found out that thier IS a God that we will all have to  give accounts to one day and you did nothing while on earth to prepare you for that moment and you found out that there is no second chance and the only option lelf  for you is to spend eternity away from your CREATOR that loved you soo much that he gave away his only begotten son for your sake, free salvation and u did'nt take it and now you have to be cast into the lake of fire because you did'nt make any other choice when you were alive on the earth. Jesus cleary told us in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me". This shows that if we want to see our heavenly father one day we must give our life to JESUS CHRIST because  it is only through him that we can find our salvation and be justify when we face the white seat of judgment  when our LORD returns.

So where are YOU?



We must trust Jesus Christ and receive Him by personaly inviting hin into our heart
 The Bible says...
"Behold I stand at the door
and knock. If anyone hears
My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me."
Revelation3:20"But as many as received Him,to them He gave the right to become children of God, even those who believe in his name."John 1:12

Jesus is there for you now.  Don't wait until tomorrow. There are no guarantees in a life without Christ, except eternal separation from God, Hell, at the end of it if you have rejected the gospel. Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Today is the day to be born again into a new life in Jesus Christ, and have assurance of Heaven when we pass from this short life. He is love beyond measure.


How to receive Christ:1, Admit your need (I am a sinner)
2. Be willing to turn from your sins. (Repent)
3. Beleive that Jesus died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer invite Jesus to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit.
(Recieve Him as Lord and Savior)

What to pray:


Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am sinner and need your forgiveness.
I believe that You died for my sins. I now invite
you into my heart and life. I want to trust You as
Savior and follow You as Lord, in the fellowship of Your Church.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A WONDERFUL NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.
TO DEEPEN THIS RELATIONSHIP YOU SHOULD:

1. READ YOUR BIBLE
2. TELL OTHERS
3. TALK TO GOD IN PRAYER
4. WORSHIP, FELLOWSHIP AND SERVE WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS
IN A CHURCH WHERE CHRIST IS PREACHED
