I want to ask you, are you sure that if you die today you will go to heaven?
You can answer, I'm not sure I'll go to heaven, or maybe you never thought about it, but the Bible says that you can be 100% sure that you are on the way to heaven.
According to the Bible, you need to understand a few things to be able to receive salvation.
First of all, the Bible says in Romans 3.23 that everyone sinned and were saved, thank God.
The Bible says that sin is a violation of the law. When we violate the law of God, we sin, and according to this verse, we are all sinners.
I am a sinner, you are a sinner, and unfortunately there is a payment for sins.
Romans 6.23 says that the payment for sin is death. The word "payment" means "payment" - it's what you earned.
When I go to work, they give me money, this is my salary. But for my sin, payment is death.
I earned death, because payment for sin is death. When we say death, most people think about physical death.
But in Revelation 20.14.15 it is written that the death of hell was thrown into a lake of fire.
A reminder about hell. It is written that this is the second death, and the one whose name was not found in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
So in the Bible it is written that our payment for sin is not just physical death, but also the second death.
You ask, what is the second death? This is when you are thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
For our sin we get death. Physical death and second death in the lake of fire.
In Revelation 21.8 it is written that those who are afraid and do not believe, and are dirty, and murderers, and scoundrels, and sorcerers, and those who bow down to idols.
Quite a bad list, right? Murderers, scoundrels, and sorcerers. Most people agree. Oh yes, they are thrown into hell.
But he also says, and those who are afraid and do not believe, and are dirty, murderers, and scoundrels, and sorcerers, and those who bow down to idols.
At the end of this list, he says, and all the lies will fall into the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.
God gives this sin a lie at the end of the list because He wants us to understand something. We understood the following, we are all sinners.
Each person said the wrong thing. He tries to say that there are no righteous, everyone lied and deserve to go to hell.
These are bad news. I am a sinner, you are a sinner, and we are all destined to go to hell from the beginning.
But the Gospel is good news. It is said in Romans 6.23, "Due to sin there is death." Now we understand what this means.
But in the second part of this verse it is said, "But the gift of the Lord is eternal life, thanks to Jesus Christ, our Lord."
The Bible says that God has a gift for us, and this is eternal life.
In the Bible, Ephesians 2.8.9 says, "With mercy you are saved through faith." The word "mercy" means to get something you don't deserve.
You didn't earn it, you didn't pay for it. "You are saved" means to be saved from hell.
I don't want to go there, I'm sure you don't want to either. With mercy you are saved through faith, and this is not your merit.
This is not thanks to you. That's why. This is a gift from God, not your deeds, so that no one complains. A gift is not what you earned, it is what you were given.
Someone else paid for it, not you. If I give you a gift and ask for money for it, it's not a gift.
If I give you a gift and ask you to do something for it, it's not a gift. A gift does not cost you anything, it is paid by the one who gives it to you.
And the gift of the Lord is the same. Jesus paid for this gift. Romans 5.8 says, "But God shows love to us in the fact that while we were sinners, Christ died for us."
John 3.16, the most famous verse in the Bible, says, "For God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in Him would not die, but have eternal life."
The doctrine is that Jesus Christ was born from the Goddess. He lived a sinless life. He never sinned, never did anything evil. He died on the cross and was buried.
The Bible says that his soul went to hell for three days and three nights. And then he rose from the grave to pay for his sins, because he was sinless. He died for our sins.
And you see, they have already paid for them. They have already paid for the gifts. You have to understand. This is a place for gifts.
John 3.16 says, "Eternal life. There is eternal life for the gifts. The word eternal means never-ending. Life that lasts forever. It will not end."
John 3.15 says, "Eternal life." Eternal means never-ending. John 3.36 says, "Eternal life." Romans 6.23 says, "Eternal life."
In many places in the Bible, you will see this. Eternal life, never-ending life, life that lasts forever, never ends.
According to John 3.36, you get it at the moment when you believe. Who believed in his Son has eternal life.
Someone might think, "Well, I get salvation, but what if I do something very bad? For example, adultery, murder, suicide. God will take my salvation."
But if he did so, then this is not eternal life. We need to understand that salvation is not what we earn. And when we get it, we keep it.
In the Bible, in the message to Titus 1-2, it says, "In the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lead in adultery, promised to the beginning of the world."
See? This is our hope for eternal life. God cannot lead in adultery. If God promises eternal life, then you know that this is eternal life.
He promised me eternal life, it will be like this. You will say, "What if I do something very bad? Eternal life is not our income, and we do not manage it.
This is a gift that will last forever. The only thing you need to remember, as with any gift, is that you decide whether to accept it or refuse it.
Ask, "How can I accept God's gift?" In Romans 10.9 it says, "If..." Here it says, "If..." because you have a choice.
It says, "If you confess the voice of the Lord Jesus." The word "confess" means you agree.
Ask, "What do I confess?" You confess that you are sinful. You confess that you deserve to go to hell. But ask for forgiveness.
It says, "If you confess the voice of the Lord Jesus." But it's more than just saying words.
It says, "And you will believe in your heart that God resurrected him from the dead."
You believe that Jesus Christ died on Christ, was buried, and rose from the grave. And this is the payment for your sins.
It says, "If you confess the voice of the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God resurrected him from the dead."
It says, "And you will be saved." It doesn't say in the Bible that you can be saved, or that you will surely be saved.
God says, "I will save you if you confess the voice and believe in your heart."
Look, it doesn't say that you have to go to church, that you have to be baptized. It doesn't say that you have to repent of your sins.
It doesn't say that you have to do something. Just believe and ask Him to save you.
If you believe in your heart, believe that Jesus Christ died on Christ for your sins, was buried and rose from the grave, wants to make you a gift of eternal life.
Why don't you just confess this in your voice? I want to help you by prayer. If you believe, pray with me.
If you confess this prayer and believe in your heart, the Bible says that now you are saved, you have eternal life.
I greet you!
