The Choice Is Yours

The Choice Is Yours: Have you ever stopped to think of what happens to you when you die? God tells us in His Word we have a choice. We can either choose to go to hell (death), which is a fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:42). This means separation from God in hell forever. Or the other choice is to go to heaven (life). "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). God has given us an easy way to escape hell and go to heaven through His Son, Jesus Christ.

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish (hell), but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).

"This day I call heaven and earth as witness against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live (Deuteronomy 30:19). The choice you make, life (heaven), or death (hell) will stay with you for all eternity. So, choose life and be born again (John 3:3).

The Bible says "if you confess 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 you confess and are saved." "For our sake God made Christ to be sin who knew no sin, so that through Him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

This will be the biggest and most important decision you will ever make. Your eternal life depends on receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

If you would like to receive Jesus as your Savior, and go to Heaven, pray this prayer: "Heavenly Father, I believe in my heart Jesus Christ is Your Son and I believe Jesus died for my sins. God, I repent for all my sins and ask that you forgive me. I believe that you raised Jesus from the dead and I confess with my mouth Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Now I am saved. I have chosen life and I am heaven bound. In the name of Jesus, Amen."
