This is your precious life. You cannot afford to gamble with it. You cannot leave this decision for another person to make for you. You are responsible to God for your life. Be wise and bold to make that decision yourself today.
It is a universal truth that Dead men cannot keep their promises. Only an Eternal God could keep his promises. Therefore, do not place your hope on Mortal men and their empty promises regarding life after death. Jesus says, in Revelation 21:6-8,
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of water of life without cost. He who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But the cowardly and the unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Receive Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior
Here are few things you need to know before you receive Christ:
- Once you receive Him by faith, trust that He lives in your life and tell others confirming your Salvation.
"That if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved" (Romans 10:9-10).
- You should not be ashamed of Jesus, because He is your risen Savior and Lord. Paul says,
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38).
Do you sincerely desire to have this kind of genuine faith? If yes, here is how you could receive Jesus Christ.
After receiving Him, obey Him lovingly and not out of fear. The Bible says,
(Jesus speaking) "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him" (John 14:21).
"Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back is drawing near" (Hebrews 10:25).
Once you receive Jesus you have become a new creation.
"Therefore if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
