Heaven Is A Free

Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

It is a gift.

He Loves Us

that, as a just God, He must punish sin.

God Balanced
Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John
3:16
Jesus is
the
infinite God-man, God in the flesh. He died on the cross and rose from
the dead to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place for us
in heaven, which He offers as a free gift.

The Gift Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith
Saving faith is not merely intellectual assent. It is trusting in Jesus
Christ alone and what He has done rather than what we can do to get us
to heaven. "What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and you will be saved." Acts 16:30b, 31
The
Bible says,
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." You
can do that now by simply praying:
 |
Lord Jesus, I
know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But I believe You
died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me.
Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins, and
save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation, and I
accept your free gift of eternal life. |
If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at the promise
of Jesus: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has
eternal life." John 6:47
|
