BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING DECEIVED AND HEADED FOR HELL!
WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM?
Do you know for sure where you will go when you die? Are you ready?
Being a Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or member of any other world religion cannot save you!
Joining a church, mosque, temple or synagogue and attending faithfully cannot save you!
Worshiping deities, spiritual figures, angels, animals, idols, concepts, nature or ancestors cannot save you!
Being a good person, doing good works, helping and feeding the poor and homeless, or donating large sums of money to charities, all of which are good and praiseworthy, cannot save you!
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAYTO BE SAVED AND SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN!
To be saved, according to the Bible (God’s Infallible Word), you must accept Jesus Christ (God’s only begotten Son) as your personal Savior, make Him the Lord of your life, and establish a personal relationship with Him. There is no other way!
John 14:6 (NIV) says “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
THE LAST DAYS
We are already in what is called the “Last Days”. Satan knows that his time is short and he will use every trick, tactic, scheme, device and person at his disposal to misinform as many people as possible.
ONE OF SATAN’S FAVORITE TRICKS
One of Satan’s favorite tricks is to create doubt about God and God’s Word through questions and messages presented by his false teachers and preachers.
THERE WILL BE A GREAT FALLING AWAY!
Matthew 24:10-13 (NLT) says “And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NIV) says “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (NIV) says “But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NIV) says “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”
WE LIVE IN A SINFUL WORLD!
Today, as Christians, we cannot avoid every kind of evil because we live in a sinful world.
We have many distractions that can divide our attention and prevent us from concentrating on our faith. As a result, we can easily lose our faith by letting our lives become filled to excess and dysfunctional.
We should strive to make sure that we eliminate as many distractions as possible, avoid tempting situations so we don’t give evil a foothold, and concentrate on living our lives according to God’s Word.
WATCH OUT FOR FALSE TEACHERS AND PREACHERS
Exactly as the Snake seduced Eve with his smooth talk, Satan will attempt to lure you away from the simple purity of your love for Christ.
Don’t fall for captivating speakers who sound good and seem to make sense. Satan has many false teachers and preachers that appear to make sense, who sound like an authority, and say words that you like to hear. Don’t let your mind be corrupted or seduced! Constantly search the Bible and check his or her teaching or message preached against God’s Word.
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 (NIV) says “But test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.”
The Bible is God’s infallible word and should be your authoritative guide. Those who teach or preach anything that contradicts God’s Word are false teachers or preachers, even if they appear to be an authority with exceptional credentials. Always carefully check everything they say against the Bible.
But, don’t suppress the Holy Spirit, and don’t stifle those who have a word. On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Test and prove everything until you can recognize what is truth. Keep only the good and hold fast to that. Then, throw out everything that is false.
2 Peter 3:18(NIV) says “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”
BE ON GUARD!
Be on guard lest you lose your footing and get swept off your feet by these lawless and loose-talking false teachers and preachers. Grow in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Read your Bible every day and get to know Him better and better. This is the most important step in recognizing when false teachers and preachers are making false and misleading statements.
We all still have much room for growth. No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, no matter how mature we are in our spiritual faith, the sinful world will always challenge our faith. Find time every day to read your Bible and draw closer to Jesus. This will prepare you to stand firm in your faith in any and all circumstances.
Revelation 12:11 (NIV) says “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
DON’T BE DECEIVED!
In Matthew 24:4-14 (NIV) Jesus said: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.”
STAND FIRM TO THE END!
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
There will be a falling away but there will be, through Jesus Christ, a great end gathering for those who will overcome!
To defeat Satan at every turn, arm yourself with knowledge and understanding of God’s Word and protect yourself with the full armor of God as describes in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Let’s constantly be on guard and not be one of the billions who will be misinformed and led to hell.
I HAVE LIVED A VERY SINFUL LIFE.
WILL JESUS FORGIVE ME?
John 6:37 (NIV) says “All those the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away.”
John 3:16 (NIV) says “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
There is no sin so great that God will not forgive you.
HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT I WILL BE SAVED?
Here is what the Bible, God’s infallible unerring Word, teaches about Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (NIV) says “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Matthew 1:21 (NIV) says “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
THEN, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
Romans 10:13 (NIV) says “for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”
John 1:12 (NIV) says “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
1. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR.
Romans 10:9-10 (NIV) says “If you declare 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 profess your faith and are saved.”
If you truly believe that Jesus died for you, we encourage you to say the following prayer and mean It from your heart.
Dear God In Heaven…
I come to you in the name of Jesus. I confess that I am a sinner and I’m sorry for my sins, the way I’ve lived, and the things I’ve done.
Please forgive me and cleanse me with your precious blood from all unrighteousness.
With my mouth, I confess the Lord Jesus. In my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and He is alive.
This very moment, I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and I make Him the Lord of my life.
And according to Your Word, which cannot lie, I’m washed, I’m cleansed, I’m forgiven, and I am saved.
Praise God in Jesus name!
Jesus loves you. He voluntarily shed His blood and died a horrible death on the cross at Calvary so that you might be forgiven, saved, healed and delivered.
Accept Him now as your Savior. Then, trust completely in His atoning death by which He paid the entire ransom for all your sins. Simply do this and He will have mercy and forgive all your sins.
2. BELIEVE.
Acts 16:31 (NIV) says “They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.’”
3. CONFESS CHRIST BEFORE OTHERS.
To confirm your salvation, if you have accepted Jesus as your savior, tell others what you have done.
GOD’S FREE GIFT!
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) says “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Put your complete confidence in Jesus Christ and you can be assured that you are saved!
If you have prayed the above prayer, welcome to the Family Of God. We encourage you to find and regularly attend a Bible Believing, Bible Teaching Church where you can be discipled to grow in the Lord and have fellowship with other believers.
