ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS
You may say, I believe I’m a good person.  The Bible says all of your righteous deeds ARE AS FILTHY RAGS.  You may be religious and go to church, but if you died right now—you would perish to hell.  Why?  Because you have not been born-again.  You may say, “Well my church never preaches like this.”  Will you trust your religion or what the Bible says?  If you choose not to accept God’s way to enter heaven, then you are choosing eternal separation from God.  God loves you.

YOU MAY ASK, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?  FOUR THINGS
 

1.  You must admit that you are a sinner.  The Bible tells us, ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.  THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.   2.  Be willing to change, to forsake all sin, to humble yourself and live for Jesus.  Repent.  Be willing to ask God for His help to make that        change.  The Bible tells us, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.  WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.  Jesus tells us, HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.   3.  Believe in your heart Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son, God Who came to this earth in human form.  Believe He died for your sins.  It is written, THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.  If you are caught robbing a bank, you have to go to jail.  Jesus never sinned.  When He died on the cross, He did not die for the things He did.  He died to pay your jail sentence.   4.  Ask for forgiveness.  Ask for God’s mercy.  By faith receive Jesus Christ as your only hope of salvation.  Afterwards, be willing to get baptized by full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.   Nicodemus was considered a very religious man in the Bible; however, in Jn 3:3, Jesus tells him it is not enough.  You MUST BE BORN AGAIN.  You must ask for God’s forgiveness.  You must confess Him publicly.  Whenever Jesus called someone he did it publicly.  He said in Mt 10:32-WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL I CONFESS ALSO BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.  As it is also written, BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR-1 Pe 3:15.

I am going to ask you to make that decision for Jesus right now.  You need to repent and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.  Please kneel right where you are.  Can you feel God calling you right now?  Is your heart pounding?  You may have been baptized or confirmed, but something inside you is saying, “Be sure.”  Perhaps you have strayed from God and need to rededicate your life to Jesus now.  Would you rather go to be with God or the lake of fire?  You have that choice right now.  God wants you to receive the gift of eternal life.  Are you sure there is not a sin, there is nothing that stands between you and God?  But you may know there is.  The Bible tells us THERE IS A WAY WHICH SEEMETH RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF DEATH.  Jesus wants you to KNOW HIM, to have a personal relationship with Him.  It’s not a matter of whether you think you know Jesus, but does Jesus know you?

Right now, kneel and pray this prayer out loud, and mean it with all your heart.
TO ALL U CELESTIAL MEMBER THIS IS WHAT GODHAVE FOR U ALL---- THAT IS --- It is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM-1 Cor 2:9
