Very Important Question

If you were to die this moment and appear before Jesus, to whom all judgment has been committed (John 5:22), what reasons would you give on your behalf to Jesus to convince Him that you are worthy of heaven?


That is a very important question, in fact it is the most important you will ever ponder!

What would you say to Jesus:

• I Believe in God
• I Was Baptized
• I Go To Church Often
• I Receive The Sacraments
• I Pray Often And Much
• I Am Very Devoted To Mary
• I Keep The 10 Comandments
• I Keep the Golden Rule
• I Do A Lot of Good Works

After telling Jesus about all those things that you believed would win salvation for you and find favor in God's eyes, could you imagine Jesus saying to you, "I never knew you, depart from me…….". Yet that is what Jesus would say!

Why?

Because in all your attempts to save your soul, you neglected and rejected God's way of salvation. God's way of salvation is standing before your eyes. He is none other than Jesus Christ. Please consider what the following people have spoken or written about the role that Jesus Christ plays in personal salvation on the pages of the Bible.

What others have said:

• Jesus
• Apostle Paul
• Apostle Peter
• Apostle John

After reading the above, you might be saying to yourself, "All of that stuff above is for the really bad people who commit bad sins; I'm basically a good, sound, moral person."

The teaching that follows from the Word of God will prove to you how wrong you are. Please consider the following truths about all human beings, yourself included.

What the Bible says:

• Your Righteousness is Unrighteous
• Consequence of Your Unrighteouness
• Righteous Faith
• Christ's Sacrifice for You

We hope that you have begun to see and understand the fact that the only way to salvation is by faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

It is our prayer that as you have read this that you have come to realize that, indeed, Jesus Christ is the only way (John 14:6) to salvation. Please realize that apart from faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, that you are a lost sinner with a sin debt that you cannot pay and as such lack the necessary righteousness to enter into the presence of a holy God. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and His righteousness will become yours (2 Cor. 5:21).

Repent toward God from your sin and worldliness and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21).
