I'm
contemplating suicide
******************************************
It's a dreadful
feeling to be so desperate to want to kill yourself. All hope seems to have
vanished and there seems to be no - one that can help. All psychiatrists can
say is, "You must expect therapy to take a long time and then we can't
promise you anything!"
THERE
IS ONLY ONE HOPE
AND
HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST!
WHY?
YOUR
SUICIDAL TENDENCIES ARE
THE
RESULT OF YOUR SIN.
YOU
HAVE HEARD OF JESUS AND PROBABLY KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT HIM, BUT YOU HAVE NEVER
CALLED ON JESUS TO SAVE YOU. RIGHT NOW, WHEREVER YOU ARE CALL OUT:
"JESUS,
PLEASE SAVE ME!
I'M
A SINNER. YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND I CAN'T SAVE MYSELF - ONLY YOU CAN!"
Now
read the rest of the paper and
find
out why everybody (rich, poor, black
and
white, educated or not) must call on
Jesus
Christ to save them from their sins.
*****************************
"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)
LET'S
START AT THE BEGINNING!
One of the following may
apply to you:
Things may be pretty bad
for you at the moment, but PLEASE DON'T KILL YOURSELF. Killing yourself
won't end the agony you're going through ... it'll only start!
If you haven't received
Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you will go to hell and scream in torment and
agony for ever and ever.
YOUR
PRESENT STATE IS THE RESULT OF HAVING MADE WRONG CHOICES
Everybody looks back on
their lives and wishes they'd made different choices e.g.
# "If only I'd done
that!"
# "If only I had
stayed at school and learnt my maths, I'd have a good job today!"
# "If only I'd obeyed
my parents/teachers/ those in authority over me, I wouldn't be feeling like
this!"
# "I wouldn't be in
jail if only..."
But none of us ever made
any right choices because the Bible says that all of us are rebellious -
rejecting parents, our teachers.
The Bible says:
"Yet man is born unto
trouble, as the sparks fly upward." (Job 5.7)
Sinning comes naturally to
men and women because that's the way we're made.
WE
ARE ALL SINNERS & EVERYONE KNOWS THIS DEEP DOWN!
The Bible says: "For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23).
EVERYBODY
IS BORN SINFUL
Do you want to know why
you sin and can't help yourself? YOU WERE BORN THAT WAY! (and it's a lie
of the church to pretend to be able to wash that original sin away.)
We sin because we're
sinful and we can't help it. Till the day a man or woman dies, they constantly
sin.
Now the Bible says that it
only takes one little sin to eternally separate ourselves from God and be
punished in hell forever. God is pure and holy and He can't allow sinful
creatures into heaven. Everyone knows that. Even the Hindus and Moslems know
that. That's why we saw on TV recently, over 13 million Hindus washing
themselves in the Ganges River in a vain attempt to purify themselves and be
acceptable to God.
Ever since the day we were
born, everyone of us has been in rebellion - against parents, teachers, the
police and the list goes on (and I've no doubt that you could justify your
actions as to why you acted in certain ways and at certain times.)
WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE?
There are only 5
possibilities (3 are lies and 2 are fact)
1. " SIX FOOT
UNDER" & NO MORE FEELINGS EVER. The Bible says that this is a
lie. The Apostle Paul said he had the desire to die and go home to be with
Jesus. He said: "For l am in a strait betwixt the two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ: which is far better."
2. PURGATORY
This is a lie
made up by Rome to gouge money out of grieving relatives.
3. RE-INCARNATION
This is another
lie. When you die you'll be judged right away. The Bible says:
"And as
4. HELL
This is fact.
Jesus never lied.
He describes hell as a
place " WHERE THEIR WORM DlETH NOT. AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.
" (Mark 9:44,46,48)
5. HEAVEN
This is fact.
Funny how people want to believe in heaven but not hell. The Bible talks about
"heaven" and "hell" hundreds of times, as real places.
EVERYONE
IN HELL NEVER
PLANNED
ON GOING THERE.
Why is that? There are
four reasons:
they * got baptized
*
went to church
*
were good people and
*
did their best
is
like.
WHAT
DID JESUS SAY ABOUT HELL?
"And fear not them
which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him
which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28)
WAS
JESUS A LIAR?
The Bible says that Jesus
was sinless. No my friend, Jesus was telling the truth and time and time again
He talks about hell and the awful reality of eternal flames and torment.
CUT OFF HANDS, FEET &
PULL OUT EYES? Jesus warns of hell again: "And if thy hand offend thee,
cut it off, it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two
hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, WHERE
THEIR WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. And if thy foot offend
thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having
two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: WHERE
THEIR WORM DlETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. And if thine eye offend
thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with
one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: WHERE THEIR WORM
DlETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. " (Mark 9:43-46,47-48)
Now why would Jesus be
warning people to dismember their bodies if hell was a figment of people's
imagination? HE WOULDN'T.
For those who read and
believe the Bible, they see that Jesus is serious about hell and that it is a
place of terrible and never-ending pain and torment. Why would Jesus say that
it's better to have only one eye, hand or foot in this life? ANSWER: Those in
hell forever wish that parts of their body weren't there to get rid of some of
the pain.

THERE
ARE FIVE FACTS OF LIFE -
WHETHER
YOU'RE GOING TO SUICIDE
OR
NOT!
1. You are sinner.
The Bible says "All
have sinned" (Rom. 3:23)
2. You will die.
(Everyone knows this!)
3. You will be judged.
The Bible says so!
":..it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)
4. You can't save
yourself.
The Bible says so! The
good works that you do are only good in your eyes. In God's eyes, you are a
hopeless sinner. "... we are all as an unclean thing, and all our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags... " (lsaiah 64.-6)
5. Your only hope is
Jesus Christ.
Only when
you are ready to accept that:
1. You are a lost and
dying sinner
2. Your good works are
unacceptable to God - will you see your need for Jesus Christ to save you. He
paid the price for your sins (past present and future) because you couldn't. Only
by receiving Him as Saviour can you enter into heaven.
You have nothing to
impress God with, except to receive Jesus by faith.
"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. " (Romans 5: 8,9)
Pray right now for Jesus
to save you. Have your sins forgiven and washed away. Take Him as your Saviour
because he died for your sin. He will save you - it's a fact - He promised.
Tomorrow could be too late.
