Avalon Chronicles #213: "Will You Be Going to Heaven?"

 One of my dearest friends is a successful businessman, but, is dedicated to evangelism. He fulfills his personal mission of introducing individuals to eternity. 

I am grateful he has developed and committed to writing his approach to individuals in literal street evangelism, visiting apartment buildings and setting up a booth at State Fairs. This is his approach.

If you were to die today-or anytime in the next 50 years-and you find yourself standing before God, and He asks you, "Why should I receive you into Heaven?"-what would you say?

God says there is only one way to get to Heaven. It happens to be very easy, but if we don't know what it is, how can we do it? Here are 4 simple verses that show us what the one way is:

                    "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard." (Romans 3:23)

We all break the 10 commandments, go against our conscience, and fail to do good when we know we should. God is loving and merciful, but he is also a righteous judge. 

                     "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

In Heaven, the streets will be made of gold. There will be no more sorrow, pain, or death. We will have new bodies like angels. It will be only good with nothing bad. And it is a gift!

                     "But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." (Romans 5:8)

That is amazing1 We have so much to be thankful for! God loves us and redeems us! Now, when aomeone offers us a gift, we simply have to be willing to receive it! There is a way to express our willingness to receive God's free gift of eternal life in Heaven:

                      "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved." (Romans 10:9-10)

Do you believe that? Do you believe that Jesus Christ died for you and for all people? Are you willing to receive eternal life?

Pray: Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I believe in you Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for the free gift of eternal life in Heaven. Amen."

SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES AND FOR SHARING WITH OTHERS!

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU!

MAY THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART BE FULFILLED!
