IT'S UP TO YOU!

Life is made up of choices. We make thousands of choices every day of our lives, some big and some small, some that matter, and some that really don't. The choice of accepting Christ, however, is the most important choice a person can ever make because if effects not just life on this earth, but also your eternity! Would you like the peace that comes from being right with God? Would you like to know that you have a home in heaven after your life on this earth comes to a close? The Bible explains this clearly, with many verses being taken from the book of Romans:

1. We must first realize that we have all sinned and done things that are against God. We are born into sin, and we must admit what we truly are; sinners!

Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"


2. Sin has its consequences, and it is death. Not physical death, but an eternal, spiritual death. We deserve death for our sins!

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


3. The results of sin is death, but that is not what God wants for anyone! That is why this verse ends with a better way, a promise for us all! God has a free gift for you!

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


4. God has offered you and I this gift out of His love for us! He sent His son Jesus to die for you and me! He paid the final and ultimate price for our sin! He gave His life as the final sacrifice for our sin.

Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. "


5. So what do you need to do? BELIEVE! Believe and trust in your heart that Jesus gave his life for you and me. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sin and live in your heart. Turn your life and heart over to Him!

Romans 10:9-11
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."


To sum it all up;
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ask Him to come in to your heart, by faith, ask Him to forgive you.

The choice is now yours to make, no one can ever make it for you. Will you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ? Are you ready to turn your life over to Him? Don't wait, make this decision today.
If you choose to follow the Romans road to salvation, here is a simple prayer you can pray to God. Saying this prayer to God is a way to declare that you are relying on Jesus Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you, they are not magical, but you must mean them in your heart. Only faith in Jesus Christ can provide salvation!

Prayer:
"God, I know that I am a sinner and I have sinned against you. I don't deserve eternal life, but I know that Jesus took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I believe Jesus died and rose from the dead so that I could have the eternal life you offer.
Dear Jesus, forgive my sins and come into my life. I am putting my trust in you and accept the gift of an eternal life through belief and trust in you. Help me to life a life for you! In Jesus name, Amen!"

If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. Please call or email so that we can be praying for you. We encourage you to get into the Bible, God's Word. Find a church that uses the Bible and believes in the saving power of Jesus Christ and become a part of it so that you will have people around you to encourage you in your faith!

Here are some verses to give you more encouragement. These verses are for all believers!

Romans 5:1
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."


Romans 8:1
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."


Romans 8:38-39
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

GOD BLESS YOU!
