Dear Friend, the others may make you “feel good” or even
“spiritual” but
they can’t get you into heaven. Please read on:
LET’S
START AT THE BEGINNING -
1. Ever told a lie?
2. Ever taken something
that wasn’t yours?
3. Had impure thoughts
about someone else?
The Bible says all have sinned
so you are a lying, thieving adulterer! Now you may be
thinking “Wow! That’s a bit strong. I can’t be that bad!
There’s a lot
worse than me - I’m no axe-murderer!”
Like most people you’re crossing your fingers and somehow hoping that
God will
let you into heaven with a 50% pass mark, right?
Furthermore, we don’t
think of ourselves as bad, because “every man
is pure in his own eyes” (Prov
30:12). The majority of criminals think this way too. But the
Bible says we are
not wise to compare and measure ourselves with each other (2 Cor 10:12). “For ALL
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom 3:23).
HOW
FAR SHORT?
100%
SHORT!
God’s standards are so high, the Bible says even the good things we do
are like filthy rags in his eyes -
not the bad things but the good things! (Is 64:6)
WHAT
ABOUT LITTLE SINS?
You’ve probably
thought that a loving God should overlook your sins and only punish bad
criminals like murderers, child-molesters and rapists?
But the Bible says: “For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty
of all.” (Jam 2:10). There
are no big or little sins in
God’s eyes. If you’ve done one – you
are guilty of the whole lot.
BUT
WAIT ... THERE’S MORE!
God made Adam the
father of the human race, so when he sinned, his sin was put into
everyone’s
account – like a computer virus (Rom
5:12). Our natures got changed from
“pure to sewer” and from then on, we were born with a
sinful nature. We don’t need to be taught how to sin - we do
it like “ducks to water”. We sin because we
are born sinners. Baby baptisms
mean dry babies just come up wet babies.
WON’T THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS OR THE GOLDEN RULE GET ME INTO HEAVEN?
No my friend, the ten
commandments were given to keep us out
of heaven, to show we are sinners and how far short we fall
compared to God
and his perfect standards. It’s 100%
perfection or hell.
CAN
I EARN MY WAY TO HEAVEN?
If
we could earn our way to heaven then Jesus didn’t need to die for us. Dear
friend, you can’t get right with God by a moral life, church
membership,
sacraments, baptism or the 32 points.
Trying to earn or do something for it, is called believing in your own self-righteousness. The Bible says, “Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he
saved us.” (Titus 3:5).
WILL GOD JUDGE SIN?
As God’s standard is 100% perfection,
this means that your
righteousness must equal that of the
sinless Jesus Christ. Unless you have 100% record you are condemned to
hell.
The Bible says “... it is appointed
unto men once to die , but after this the judgement:” (Heb
9:27) and “Because he hath appointed a day, in
which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man (Jesus) whom he hath ordained;” (Acts
17:31)
WHO
GOES TO HELL?
All sinners who
reject Jesus’
shed blood particularly the religious good people
of the 32 points on the front of the tract.
SO WHAT’S HELL LIKE?
Jesus spoke more
about hell than heaven and with good reason - he didn’t want anyone to
go
there. It’s a place of damnation,
darkness, weeping, torment,
everlasting burnings, the flames never go out and their worm
never dies,
wailing and gnashing of teeth and no
exit ever. (Lk
16:26; Matt 22:13, Mk 9:44; Is 33:14)
It’s not a place you
“party-on” with friends. The torment
will be extreme and God won’t let you kill yourself to end the pain.
WHAT ABOUT PURGATORY?
This is a made up Roman Catholic lie 1. To give relatives
false hope 2. To get more money from them through fear. Why
can’t your
family pray for you in purgatory. You won’t be there. It doesn’t exist! When you die, you will find yourself in
either heaven or hell for eternity.
REWARD: $100 million for finding
purgatory in the Bible. There’s no re-incarnation (Heb 9:27) or ‘six-foot
under’. (Matt 25:46; Jn 5:28-29)
WOULD A GOD OF LOVE
SEND ME TO HELL?
He has no choice. You’ve
rejected the Lord Jesus Christ. “You’ve done the crime but
you don’t have to do the time”. The Bible says, “For
God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) and “He that BELIEVETH on the Son
hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see
life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)
DOES
SATAN RULE & REIGN IN HELL?
No. he’s the god of this world (2Cor 4:4). Hell was
made to cast Satan & his angels into for eternal torment - &
with those
who reject Jesus Christ (Matt
25:41; Rev 20:10,14)
You’re not handed over to Satan for punishment as he
was defeated at the
cross. No my friend, hell is God’s
everlasting punishment for Christ rejectors.
IS
BELIEVING ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO HEAVEN?
Absolutely. Believe
that his perfect works and his shed blood
paid for your sins to give
you right standing with God. It’s a gift.
The Bible says, “But to him that worketh
not, but BELIEVETH
on him that JUSTIFIETH THE UNGODLY, (no eaten
wafer of infused grace)
his faith is counted for righteousness.” (Rom 4:5)
You won’t fear
judgment day because you will, “Be
found in him, not having mine own righteousness ...but that which is
through
the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
(Phil
3:9)
WHAT
ARE MY CHOICES?
Only two:
God’s
love - “Jesus shed blood” or
God’s
wrath
- “I reject Jesus’ shed blood
No
choice is a choice and not choosing won’t make it go away. Every minute
you
delay is a minute closer to your eternity in hell. Instead of coming to
God and
promising him you’ll clean up your act, he’s waiting for you to say:
“I’m a
sinner! I can’t measure up to your high standards! I deserve eternal
hell fire.
I BELIEVE Jesus’ SHED blood paid my sin debt in full.”
CAN
ANYONE GET TO HEAVEN?
God says he is “...not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Pet 3:9).
WHAT
WILL STOP YOU?
Your religious traditions, pride, fear of friends especially your self-righteousness (Mk 7:13)
THIS IS YOUR ONLY
HOPE.
Doing all those 32 things
= absolute 0%. Baptism, confessing
sins, good works,
penances, being good, church membership, religion or church rules negate
completely the shed blood of Jesus. Stop
believing your self-righteousness and believe on the
righteousness of Jesus Christ.
You are a sinner, you’ll die a sinner, you’ll be judged a
sinner and
you’ll be condemned a sinner. Your only hope is the SHED
blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
ETERNAL LIFE IS A
FREE GIFT
You can’t earn it,
work for it or buy it.
The Bible says, “...the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom 6:23). The Bible says “...
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners ...” (1 Tim
1:15).
It also says, “For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Rom 10:13)
Eternity is forever
and hell is real, but if you want to be saved, believe what the Lord
Jesus
Christ did on the cross & pray
with all your heart:
“DEAR
GOD, I’m a sinner & deserve your ever- lasting wrath in hell. Jesus
died
for my sins and his SHED blood paid it all. I reject all works
and other beliefs. Please save me. Amen.”
Note: The gospel says nothing about the 32
points. The gospel is all about
what Christ has done. The work of our redemption is finished (Jn 19:30).
"Christ died for our sins" (1Cor
15:3). His death on the cross is
past, never to be repeated (Heb
10:26).
Nor does the gospel say anything about what
we must do, because we can do nothing
(Titus 3:5; Eph 2:8-9). It is
the power of God unto salvation to those who BELIEVE
(Rom 1:16). It’s all about the blood: “… the
blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement
for your
souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement
for the soul.” (Lev 17:11)
no
more sacrifice for sins.”
(Heb 10:12, 14, 26)
Dear
Reader, you were born into your earthly family.
