Are you looking for hope? For purpose? for peace? For Jesus? For a new beginning? Have you considered where you will spend eternity when you die? It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. Here are the stats. Across the globe, 170,790 people die each day of all ages. Per hour that’s 7,116 deaths. Per minute, 119 people die.
Whatever age you are, you MUST consider eternity because your eternity could begin with your next breath! No one controls their lifespan. Only GOD does.
There’s only one way to Heaven, despite what some people might think. ONE WAY! It’s through Jesus Christ. Below are Bible verses that explain how and why to get saved and follow Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and LORD of LORDS! We’re here, on planet earth, to find Jesus and to secure our place in Heaven by leading a life pleasing to GOD and living out our purpose here.
No one wants to go to Hell! No one. You can say there’s no Heaven and no Hell, but (not to be rude) your opinion really doesn’t matter because both places are very real and certain. It’s a choice you have to make. GOD allows us that choice. To make it to Heaven, believe in Jesus and follow Him. If you don’t , you’ve chosen a very real Hell where you’ll suffer horrifically in flames and terror for all eternity.

The Complete Picture of Salvation
Salvation involves:
– Recognizing your sinful nature
– Believing Jesus Christ is God’s Son
– Accepting Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sins
– Committing to follow Jesus as Lord every moment of your life
– Repenting of your past sins
– Receiving God’s gift of grace through faith
Begin at the Beginning
If you want to accept Christ, you can pray something like this:
“Lord Jesus, I now know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I undersatnd that You are preparing a spectacular home for me in Heaven, with You, for all eternity. Heaven is where I will never again experience pain, or sorrow, or separation, or weeping, or death. I repent right now from the sinful life I’ve been living and vow to turn from my sins right now. I give you all of me this moment. I ask You to be my Savior and Lord. Forgive me and give me eternitiy with You. Please keep me walking in Your footsteps and keep me on the straight and narrow road. I praise You and thank You for saving me. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.”
Remember: Salvation is not about perfection, but about a relationship with Jesus Christ and allowing His transformative love to work in your life. It’s about ongoing repentance and never returning to my former sins by the POWER of Your Holy Spirit You now place inside me.
