If you are religious, sincere, moral and do the best you can, but have never been saved from sin, and if Jesus told the truth when he said, "except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.".' WHAT THEN?
If you have a nice home, lovely family and economic security, then die without Christ and without hope (read the story of a rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-22). WHAT THEN?
If you do you best to treat your fellow men, family, and have a host of friends, then some day hear God say to you,' Depart from me, ye cursed into everlasting fire' (Matthew 24:41)-WHAT THEN?
If your life is filled with pleasure and your daily experience the thrills of dissipation, then in eternity you are condemned to the unending torture of the damned (read about the lost son in luke15: 11-32)-WHAT THEN
If you succeed in business beyond your greatest ambitions and finally find yourself at the top of the ladder, then God says to you, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee' (Luke 12:20)-WHAT THEN?
If you laugh at the bible, scorn religion and ignore all of God's invitations and warnings, then suddenly you die without opportunity to change your attitude or repent of your sins ('He that being often reproved hardens his neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without
remedy' - Proverbs 29:1)-WHAT THEN?
If you say that there is no God, no heaven, no judgement and no hell, then
you find in eternity that you were wrong ('the fool hath said in his said in
his heart there is no God'-Psalm 14:1, 53:1)-WHAT THEN?
If you gain the whole world and loose your own soul (Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36; Luke18:25). WHAT THEN?
Face the fact of God- He is real and you must meet someday. (Romans 14:11.)
Face the fact of sin- Its wages are death and the penalty must be paid. Romans 6:23).
Face the of accountability-It can not be avoided by any human method. In eternity you
Will face the divine account of your whole life and meet its consequences. (Romans 14:12).
Accept the fact that GOD loves you and gave his only begotten son, the lord Jesus Christ, to die as your substitute, so that you might be forgiven and receive as a free gift, God's own eternal life. (John 3:16).
Stop living only for time as if though there were no eternal ages."Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation" (II Corinthians 6:2).
Stop doing the best you can and trust in what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you upon the
cross of Calvary. If we could save ourselves from sin, God would never have permitted His son
to endure the sufferings of the cross for you and me "for by grace are ye saved through
faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9).
Stop putting off the claims of Christ upon your life. Tomorrow may be too late!
"Seek ye the lord while He may be found. Call ye Him while He is near''(Isaiah 55:6)
God "now commanded all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). Believe on the lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved''(Acts 16:31). "Him that commeth to me, I will in
no wise cast out" (John 6:37).
Repent of your sin, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal savior and trust Him to save and keep you. WHAT THEN?
Peace, joy, eternal life; all this and heaven besides! "That whosoever Believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:15).
"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy''(Jude 24). "And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John14:3).
