Where Will You Spend Eternity?

It is your choice. Have you made it?

Our souls live forever.

"Do not fear those who despise the body of life but cannot destroy the soul". - Matthew 10:28

There is a heaven.

"For be glad and rejoice for great is your reward in heaven." - Matthew 5:12

There is a hell.

"Better to love part of your body, than to have it cast into Gehenna (hell)" - Mathew 5:30

Do you know that God loves you and wants the best for you? The Bible tells us we can know for certain whether we will have eternal life in Heaven or Hell.

The Apostle’s creed, our direction to Heaven

The Trinity

I believe in God, The Father Almighty, the creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ. His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary became man.

Do you believe Jesus came to earth to live a perfect life, as an example to live your life by?

The Word (Jesus) was God and the Word became flesh (man) and lived for a while among us. – John 1:1,14

He Paid For Your Sins

He suffered under Pontius Pilate. Crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell.

Jesus died for you and received every sin you have ever committed or ever will.

But God demonstrates, his own love toward us, in that we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8

The Arisen Savior

On the third day He arose from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth.

Do you believe Jesus overcame death and arose from the dead, so you won’t have to die a spiritual death and spend an eternity in hell?

He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures and He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve after that. He appeared to more than five hundred. – 1 Corinthians 15:3-6

Judgment

Whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

Are you ready for the final judgment? Have you invited Jesus into your heart and made Him your Lord and Savior?

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:14-15

The Review of God’s Perfect Plan

Just realize. We are sinners and God is perfect; we are sinners and cannot save ourselves.

Entirely recognize who Jesus is and that he died for you and rose from the dead.

See the need to ask Jesus into your hart, even the throne room where no one has been before.

Undergo total transformation by repenting and turning from sin to God.

So receive Jesus Christ in faith as your Savior and Lord.

If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. –Luke 9:23

Jesus' mother said. "Do whatever he tells you."-John 2:5

Does this make sense to you? Would you like to receive Jesus Christ right now? If so, you can go to God in prayer and tell Him what is on your heart. Remember, He is more concerned with your heart than with your words. Prayer is talking with God. The following is a suggested prayer:

Dear Lord, I know I have sinned and I am sorry for all of the sins I have committed. I thank you for dying on the cross for me and receiving my sins. I invite you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Take control of my life and make me the person you want me to be. I hold nothing back. I give you all that I have.

Now that you have committed your life to Jesus, it is important to know how he wants to use you in His perfect plan.

Know What God’s Perfect Plan Is for You

Don’t rely on your feelings to determine the certainty of your salvation. Rely instead on the facts of God’s word. –John 14:21 You now have a new life from this moment on. Understand how God wants to use you. *Those who fear the Lord prepare their hearts* – Sirach 3:17 1. I am a new creation in Christ – 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20 2. I have everything I need for life and Godliness. – 2 Peter 1:3; Ephesians 1:3 3. I am a witness for Christ and his workmanship, created for good works. Acts 1:8; Ephesians 2:10 4. I am loved and accepted completely in Christ. – Ephesians 1:6, Romans 8:39 5. I am indwelt by the Holy Spirit. – 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20; 1 John 4:4 6. I am forgiven and free from condemnation. – 1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1-2 7. I have eternal life in Christ. – John 5:24; 1 John 5:11-14 Your faith must be in God and your faith in his word, not in your feelings. I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. – Romans 8:17 Isn’t it great to know that you are co-heirs with Jesus and God holds back none of his gifts from us? Would you like to thank God right now in prayer for what he has done for you? By doing so, you outwardly demonstrate your faith in Him.
