The Day of Your Death

Letter Size Tract—Tri-fold

Copyright © 2001  James L. Melton

Suggested Donation: 8 cents each

 

 

Friend, will you ponder some words of truth,

Though you be up in years, or yet in your youth?

 

With each passing day your life spins by,

Death creeps closer till it’s your turn to die.

 

On your bed of death the thought comes to mind –

all your dear loved ones you must leave behind.

 

They speak words of comfort and try not to cry,

But there is no comfort; it’s your turn to die.

 

As you reflect upon many wasted years,

Your poor heart saddens and your eyes fill with tears.

 

You spent so much time for family and friends,

Yet so little time being grieved for your sins.

 

You sped through your years consuming worldly pleasures,

Yet never investing in Heavenly treasures.

 

With these sobering thoughts you begin to grow scared;

It’s your turn to die, and you have not prepared!

 

Year after year you rejected God’s Son;

Over and over the Gospel you would shun.

 

God’s Spirit which spoke to your once tender heart

Has now been replaced with Satan’s stinging dart.

 

Like a tale which is told, your life has flown by,

Your days are expired, and it’s your turn to die.

 

A piercing chill suddenly fills the air

While Death enters the room like a strange nightmare.

 

But this is no dream, the time has arrived;

You’ll die in a moment to never be revived.

 

All loved ones fade as Death closes in;

Your body lies helpless, and you cannot win.

 

With one final struggle you gasp for your breath

To find your soul in the arms of Death!

 

As loved ones gaze upon your lifeless frame,

Your soul makes its journey to the Land of the Flame.

 

“Why me?” you cry, “I wasn’t that bad!”

But then you recall all the chances you had.

 

Time and time again God’s humble servants came,

Offering you salvation in Jesus’ name.

 

But you cared not for God’s holy plan;

You despised His servants, and from His truth you ran.

 

Now as your feet sink into the flame,

All hope is gone to trust in His name.

 

Deeper you go into the fiery bath,

Having traded God’s mercy for His never-ending wrath.

 

While horror fills your soul and the pain multiplies,

Your screams simply fade into the smoke-filled skies.

 

As you wade through the flames seeking consolation,

Those you encounter have the same condemnation.

 

There’s no one to help, there’s nowhere to turn;

Refuge has fled, and you’re left here to burn!

 

As your loved ones back home in the world above

Comfort one another with words of love,

 

They’re all unaware of your sad plight beneath,

Of your weeping, your wailing, and your gnashing teeth!

 

They’ll soon gently lay your body in the ground,

But of your screams below they won’t hear a sound.

 

Never again will you see a smiling face,

Only faces of agony in this damnable place.

 

No children playing with whom to share your love,

Not another second with your sweetheart above.

 

No food to eat, no water in sight,

Forever you’re a captive to Hell’s dark night!    

 

Sunsets have vanished, no mountains, no streams,

Only roaring flames and soul-piercing screams!

 

At last you now see your error so well:

when you said “No” to Jesus, you said “Yes” to Hell.

 

 

Friend, you don’t have to go to Hell.  God wants NO ONE in Hell!  The Bible says in II Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”  Revelation 1:5  says, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."

 

Jesus Christ has come to your rescue!  If you'll confess to God that you're a sinner and receive His Son as your one and only Saviour, you can escape the damnation of Hell.  Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”  Then Romans 6:23 says, “ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  Stop justifying your sins and simply confess to God that you are a lost sinner in need of salvation. 

 

Jesus shed His sinless blood and died to pay for your sins,  and He rose again the third day for your justification. The Bible says He'll save you if you'll RECEIVE Him as your Saviour: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12)  "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." (Romans 10:9-10)  "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

 

The decision is all yours.  You can live a lie and spend eternity in the fires of Hell, or you can trust the Lord Jesus Christ and have a glorious home in Heaven.  One day you will awake, and it will be your day to die.  Will you die in Jesus, or will you die in your sins? 

 


People Who Wouldn’t Like Heaven

Letter Size Tract—Tri-fold

Someone once said that our lives are a manifestation of what we really believe.  Jesus said basically the same thing when He said, “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Mat. 7:19-20) Friend, you produce “fruit” every day of your life, and you are known by your fruit.

 

The fruit being produced today by most people is CORRUPT fruit which does not please and glorify God, yet such people refuse to repent of their sins and live for God.  Such people as this will never enter the gates of Heaven, and they wouldn’t like it there if they did because God will not allow their way of life.  So, it stands to reason that there are some people who simply would not like Heaven.

 

 

Worldly Music Fanatics

 

Heaven certainly has an abundance of music, but it bears no resemblance to the Satanic trash that most people listen to and sing today.  The music of Heaven glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ: “ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”   (Rev. 5:9-10) 

 

You say, “That’s not much of a song!”  You’ve proven my point!  If you don’t like that song, then you wouldn’t like Heaven!  No one in Heaven sings like Mick Jagger, the Beatles, or Garth Brooks.  Britney Spears won’t be there strutting around on stage like a prostitute.  The Back Street Boys will not be heard.  God has a special place for these worldly and carnal promoters of sex, self, and immorality.  No one in Heaven will be singing about adultery, fornication, broken homes, broken hearts, drugs, and downright Devil worship.  If you like the great music of this world, you certainly would be an unhappy camper in Heaven.  Your music idols will be in Hell, so how could you be happy in Heaven?

 

You say, “What a thing to say!  Who are you to judge others?”  Friend, that cowardly attitude will only get you a home in Hell.  A truly mature and sensible person will face the clear facts and make a wise choice.  If you’re a weak and carnal baby, you will whine and become angry with the truth that I’m giving you.  If you’re an honest and mature person, you will admit that I’m giving you the truth and you will act on it in a positive manner.

 

 

Sports Fanatics

 

Heaven is not what someone thinks it is but rather what God’s word SAYS it is. In all of the Bible’s descriptions of Heaven and New Jerusalem, not one word is said about anyone playing ball, watching a car race, attending a wrestling match, going hunting, fishing, or taking part in any other sport.  Yet, our nation is filled with people who practically WORSHIP sports as if there were no other reason for living!

 

This isn’t to say that it’s wrong to enjoy a good sporting event once in a while.  I personally like to attend a few football games each fall, but not every week, and certainly not  two or three times every week!  A sports fanatic will spend more time with the sport of his choice than he does with God, the Bible and church.  Would he like Heaven?  Of course not!  He would be miserable in Heaven!  That’s why God created an alternative place called Hell.

 

 

Sex Fanatics

 

Are you ready for this?  There will be NO SEXUAL ACTIVITY in Heaven.  The only kind of sexual activity  that God has ever approved of is  that between a man and his wife.  Homosexuality, fornication and adultery have always been sinful acts in the sight of God.  People who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God (I Cor. 6:9), and they wouldn’t like it there if they did!  If you can’t bring your body into subjection and obey God’s laws of sex now, what makes you think you’d like it in Heaven where there is no sex?  You say, “Well, in Heaven I’ll just have one spouse and do things God’s way.”  No you won’t!  Jesus said, “For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” (Mat. 22:30) There is NO sexual activity in Heaven, not even married sex!  It’s a good thing God created Hell because some people would go crazy in Heaven!

 

 

Selfish Fanatics

 

Some people aren’t heavy into sports, worldly music or sexual immorality, but they are heavy into THEMSELVES.  Most people have never learned the first law of Christianity: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”  (Luke 9:23)   Most people, professing Christians included, are so wrapped up in pursuing their own interests that they’ve given very little time to God.  People’s lives are so consumed with work, hobbies, habits, pleasures, entertainment, friends and families that there is no time left for Jesus Christ.  This is the exact OPPOSITE from what Jesus commanded: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  (Mat. 6:33)  Our society is filled with people who are just consumed with SELF, and they aren’t willing to change.  People are in love with themselves (II Tim. 3:2), and they would be miserable in Heaven where God is the focal point of everything.

 

 

Money Fanatics

 

Many people spend their entire lives accumulating wealth or trying to do so.  Families fall apart while fathers and mothers both go out into the workforce and entrust their children to the devil’s day care system.  (Yes, it is the devil’s system because God’s system is described in Titus 2:1-7) Parents teach their children to get good jobs and make lots of money so they can have the “things” they want in life.  Entire lives are structured around money, yet no one will take their money to Heaven: “They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.”  (Psa. 49:6-10)

 

Are you seeking material wealth?  If so, you would not like Heaven.  The only rich people in Heaven are the ones who denied riches in this world and chose Jesus Christ and His service (Mat. 6:19-21; Luke 12:16-21).  You wouldn’t like Heaven because you would be a practical beggar having never earned any heavenly rewards in this life!

 

 

Religious Fanatics

 

The sad truth is that religion has damned more people to Hell than any other way of life.  Adulterers aren’t expecting their adultery to take them to Heaven.  Thieves aren’t expecting their illegal activity to take them to Heaven.  Sports figures and rock stars aren’t expecting their occupation to take them to Heaven.  However, there are hundreds of millions of people who are fully trusting their choice religion to save them.

 

These are the true religious fanatics in our society because these people are so wrapped up in their own religion that they’ve ignored what God has said about salvation and going to Heaven! 

 

As we’ve already seen, the object of worship in Heaven is the Lord Jesus Christ.  Only by being washed in His blood can anyone go to Heaven (Rev. 1:5; 5:9; Col. 1:14), so how could a person be happy in Heaven if they spent their time on earth just being religious and never truly being saved by receiving Jesus Christ?  “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”  (John 1:12-13) If a man isn’t born of God through Jesus Christ, then that man’s religion is vain!  You might say the rosary and pray daily to Mary, but God never commanded this.  You might keep the command- ments faithfully, but God never said this could save you from Hell.  Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  (John 14:6)   Perhaps you give large sums of money to your church.  Did God say this could buy you a home in Heaven?  No, he did not.  People who trust religion to save them are the true religious fanatics because they are placing far more emphasis on religion than God ever did.  God wants all men to turn from their wicked ways and receive His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 

So what’s the point of this tract?  Are we trying to turn people against Heaven?  No, of course not.  Friend, we only want you to see your need to be BORN AGAIN by receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour.  Only by becoming a new creature in Christ can you begin to appreciate a holy Heaven.  “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  (II Cor. 5:17)   In your natural state with a fallen sin nature, there is no way you can appreciate the spiritual joys of Heaven, nor will you enjoy the tormenting fires of Hell.  So what can you do?  You must either go to Hell against your will or you must ask God to make you a new creature in Jesus Christ by washing your sins away in his blood.  Colossians 1:14 says, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”  

 

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” God is holy and cannot allow sinners to enter Heaven, so it is needful for your sins to be FORGIVEN.  This can only be done by your admission of being a sinner and your acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Saviour.  God has provided no other means of salvation.  The Bible says in Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Friend, you must choose Jesus Christ or you must burn in Hell.  I know that’s a blunt statement, but it’s the gospel truth and you need to know it.  Only Jesus died and payed for your sins, and only Jesus can save you and give you a life worth living and a home in Heaven.  The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10, “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.”

 

Why not get alone with God right now and confess that you are a sinner in need of salvation?  Why not ask God to wash you in the sinless blood of Jesus Christ today?  Tomorrow may be too late.

 

If you have received Jesus Christ, please start attending a Bible-believing church faithfully and speak with the pastor about baptism and Christian service. 

 

 

 

For Adult Men Only

Letter Size Tract—Tri-fold

Hi there, my name is Lucifer, and I'd like to give you a few pointers about manhood.  If you've already made up your mind to ignore God's instructions and live your own life, you might as well take a few tips from the old pro.  After all, what have you got to lose? You're going to Hell anyway.

 

 

Hunt, Fish, and Be a Sports Fanatic

 

That's right.  Since you don't have the guts to be a real man and obey God, waste as much time as possible on excessive hunting, fishing and sports.  This will allow you to feel like a man, and it will also keep your mind occupied so you won't have to think about your eternal home where there is no fishing, no sports, and the only thing you hunt for is water.

 

While you’re at it, be sure and teach your children to waste their lives on such foolishness as well.  You can always call it “quality time with the kids.”  No one these days will know any different.

 

 

Don't Go to Church

 

Don't attend church services because other men might think you're a sissy.  I know the Bible says not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together (Heb. 10:25), but you aren't a Christian anyway!  Don't go to church.

 

If you do have to attend church services due to family or social pressures, be sure you don't attend the one on the back of this pamphlet.  Be sure to attend either a dead country church or a big liberal city church.  The last thing you want is some preacher waving a King James Bible and telling you how to live.  If you have to join a church, make sure you pick one where the preaching is soft, the teaching is shallow, and any Bible translation is acceptable.

           

 

Don't Pray or Read the Bible

 

Just ignore I Thessalonians 5:17, and you've never even read Joshua 1:8 or Psalm 119:11.  Forget it, man!  You're not a servant of God, so why pray to Him?  You're not going to obey His Book, so why read it?  You're going to be “your own man.”  Right? Let the wife and kids have God and the Bible, while you take care of the more important things like food, shelter, and clothing for your family. 

 

 

Learn Some Dirty Jokes

 

Nothing will make you look more like a man than a real nasty joke about sex, God, Jesus Christ, or preachers.  All of my men have  an arsenal of filthy jokes.  Sure, you will be held accountable for every idle word you speak (Mat. 12:36), but what do you care?  You're going to Hell anyway.

 

 

Don't Forget to Use Profanity

 

Words like "damn" and "hell" should be a regular part of your speech.  Also, make it a habit to take God's name in vain regularly.  This will really make you feel tough since the Bible says that God will hold you accountable for your dirty mouth (Exod. 20:7), and ignorant people will think you are tough.

 

 

Be a Ladies' Man

 

Hey, you only live once so make the most of it.  Flirt with the gals!  Look'em over!  Wink at them!  Put your arm around them.  Don't worry about God's commands against lust, fornication, and adultery (Gal. 5:19-21; Mat. 5:28; Exod. 20:14).  There won't be any sex and pretty women in Hell, so enjoy life now!

 

 

Start Smoking and Drinking

 

Remember the beer commercial where the man says, "Hey, it doesn't get any better than this?"  Well, he's right.  For you, it only gets worse! Be a real man!  Start drinking, and get your tank full now, for there won't be any booze where you're going.  If anyone complains, tell them that even Jesus drank wine.  They'll never know you're lying. 

 

 

Find Someone to Criticize

 

There are going to be times when you feel guilty for not giving your heart to Jesus Christ and serving Him.  These guilt feelings can be a real nuisance, so you need to rid yourself of these feelings by focusing on some rascal who is more low-down than yourself.  Complain about politics, rich people, murderers, rapists, and thieves.  This will make you feel like a respectable man.  You’ll still be a coward, but at least you won’t feel like one.

 

 

Use the Hypocrites

 

Religious hypocrites are your best excuse for not getting right with God!  Every time a Christian talks to you about receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour, just fuss about the hypocrites.  Every time someone invites you to church, fuss about the hypocrites.  You're going to wind up in Hell with the  hypocrites (Rev. 20:15; Mat. 23:14), but you aren't there yet, so use them as your greatest excuse for rejecting God's Son and His plan for your life.

 

See how easy it is?  Even you can be a sold-out child of the devil!  Just a few simple adjustments and any gutless coward can have people thinking he’s a real man.  You can be a total disgrace to your Creator and a sorry example for your wife and children.  Just follow these simple rules, and I'll see you and your buddies in Hell--sooner than you think!

 

The lord of your life,

 

Lucifer

 

 

P.S.!  No matter what you do, DON'T read the back of this pamphlet!

 

 

IF YOU WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN...

 

Friend, any fool can be a coward for the devil, but it takes a real man to be a real Christian.  Here's what God's word says...

 

 

YOU ARE A SINNER

 

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

 

"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one."  Romans 3:10.

 

 

YOU WILL DIE A SINNER

 

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."  Romans 5:12.

 

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

 

 

YOU WILL BE JUDGED A SINNER

 

"For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."  Ecclesiastes 12:14.

 

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."  Hebrews 9:27.

           

 

WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED A SINNER

 

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."  Ephesians 2:8-9.

 

"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."  Romans 4:5.

 

"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth."  Romans 10:3-4.

 

 

YOUR ONLY HOPE IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."  John 14:6.

 

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."  Acts 4:12.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ has come and PAID for your sins by shedding His own Blood on Calvary.  By receiving Him as your Saviour, you can be WASHED from all your sins in His precious Blood (Rev. 1:5; Col. 1:14; Acts 20:28; I Pet. 1:18-19).  

Notice these important words from Romans 5:8-9: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

 

Friend, Jesus Christ PAID your way to Heaven!  By receiving Him as your Saviour, you will be receiving God's ONLY means of Salvation.  Are you willing to forsake YOUR righteousness and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour--your ONLY HOPE for Salvation?

 

Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Romans 10:9 says, "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."  Why not pray right now and ask the Lord to come into your heart and cleanse you from all sin?  He will save you just as He promised. 

 

If you've received Christ as your Saviour, start attending a Bible-believing church.  Submit to believer's baptism, and become a faithful church member.  Read your Bible and pray daily.  Keep Jesus Christ FIRST in your life, because He kept YOU first on Calvary's cross.

 

 

 

If You Want to be a Red-Neck

Letter Size Tract—Tri-fold

Copyright © 1998  James L. Melton

Suggested Donation: 8 cents each

 

This tract reads almost identical to the one above, except for a few minor changes to make it more “southern” and “red-neckish.”

 

Hi there, my name is Lucifer, and I'd like to give you a few pointers on being a true southern red-neck.  Since you've already made up you mind to ignore God's instructions and live your own life, you might as well take a few tips from the old pro.  After all, what have you got to lose?

Nothing will make you look more like a red-neck than a real nasty joke about sex, God, Jesus Christ, or preachers.  All true red-necks have an arsenal of filthy jokes.  Sure, you will be held accountable for every idle word you speak (Mat. 12:36), but what do you care?  You're going to Hell anyway.

 

 

Don't Forget to Use Profanity

           

A true red-neck should never speak over sixty seconds without using a curse word.  Words like "damn" and "hell" should be a regular part of your speech.  Also, make it a habit to take God's name in vain regularly.  This will really make you feel tough since the Bible says that God will hold you accountable for your dirty mouth (Exod. 20:7).

 

 

Be a Ladies' Man

           

Hey, you only live once so make the most of it.  Flirt with the gals!  Look'em over!  Wink at them!  Put your arm around them.  Don't worry about God's commands against lust, fornication, and adultery (Gal. 5:19-21; Mat. 5:28; Exod. 20:14).  There won't be any sex and pretty women in Hell, so enjoy life now!

There are going to be times when you feel guilty for not giving your heart to Jesus Christ and serving Him.  These guilt feelings can be a real nuisance, so you need to rid yourself of these feelings by focusing on some rascal who is more low-down than yourself.  Complain about politics, rich people, murderers, rapists, and thieves.  This will make you feel like a respectable man.

 

 

Use the Religious Hypocrites

           

Hey, what good are hypocrites if you can't use them, right?  Religious hypocrites are your best excuse for not getting right with God!  Every time a Christian talks to you about receiving Jesus Christ as your Saviour, just fuss about the hypocrites.  Every time someone invites you to church, fuss about the hypocrites.  You're going to wind up in Hell with the  hypocrites (Rev. 20:15; Mat. 23:14), but you aren't there yet; so use them as your greatest excuse for rejecting God's Son and His plan for your life.

 

 

See how easy it is?  Even you can be a devout red-neck!  You can be a total disgrace to your Creator and a sorry example for your wife and children.  Just follow these simple rules, and I'll see you and your buddies in Hell sooner than you think! Ha ha ha ha ha ha . . .

 

The lord of your life,

Lucifer

IF YOU WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN...

 

Friend, any fool can be a coward for the devil, but it takes a real man to be a real Christian.  Here's what God's word says...

 

 

YOU ARE A SINNER

 

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

 

"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one."  Romans 3:10.

 

 

YOU WILL DIE A SINNER

 

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."  Romans 5:12.

 

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

 

 

YOU WILL BE JUDGED A SINNER

 

"For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."  Ecclesiastes 12:14.

 

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."  Hebrews 9:27.

           

 

WITHOUT JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED A SINNER

 

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."  Ephesians 2:8-9.

 

"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."  Romans 4:5.

 

"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth."  Romans 10:3-4.

 

 

YOUR ONLY HOPE IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."  John 14:6.

 

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."  Acts 4:12.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ has come and PAID for your sins by shedding His own Blood on Calvary.  By receiving Him as your Saviour, you can be WASHED from all your sins in His precious Blood (Rev. 1:5; Col. 1:14; Acts 20:28; I Pet. 1:18-19).  

Notice these important words from Romans 5:8-9: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

 

Friend, Jesus Christ PAID your way to Heaven!  By receiving Him as your Saviour, you will be receiving God's ONLY means of Salvation.  Are you willing to forsake YOUR righteousness and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour--your ONLY HOPE for Salvation?

 

Romans 10:13 says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Romans 10:9 says, "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."  Why not pray right now and ask the Lord to come into your heart and cleanse you from all sin?  He will save you just as He promised.  

 

If you've received Christ as your Saviour, start attending a Bible-believing church.  Submit to believer's baptism, and become a faithful church member.  Read your Bible and pray daily.  Keep Jesus Christ FIRST in your life, because He kept YOU first on Calvary's cross.
