The Gift

A SIMPLE MESSAGE IN A COMPLEX WORLD

Good Morning, Good Day, Good Evening

We are sharing exciting news with our friends and neighbors. Good news about God's invitation for us all to spend eternity in heaven with Him. May I share a few of these good news bible verses with you? Please see below:

Know For Sure:

The bible says in 1 John 5:13.........."These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the son of God." The bible says that you can know for sure you have eternal life in heaven. This is the way you can know.....

All Sinners:

In Romans 3:10 it says.........."As it is written there is none righteous, no not one" and in Romans 3:23 it says.........."For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." That means that my family and I, that means that your loved ones and you: we all sinners.

Where sin came from:

In Romans 5:12 is says...…."Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world" This is speaking of Adam's sin, the first sin in the whole world. It then says...…"and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned"....

Death:

The death it is talking about here isn't talking about just dying and giving to the grave. It is talking about eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. Death is our punishment for our sins. And as of right now YOU owe that debt.

The Gift

But the matter doesn't end there. Jesus loves you so much, He left His home in heaven and He came to earth and He died on the cross and He shed His blood for your sins and for my sins. He did this as a GIFT. It says in Romans 6:23...…"For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God's eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".

It is a free gift. You can't buy it, you can't work for it, you can't go to church for it. It's absolutely free! NOW THAT IS GOOD NEWS!

It would be like a friend wanted to give you a gift to show how much they loved you. They would go to the store and purchase the gift, wrap it up, maybe put a nice bow on it and say, "Thank You." Well, that is what God did when he sent Jesus, His gift, to you. He has done everything for you. All you have to do is accept it!

Let's Review:

(1) You realize you are a sinner.

(2) You know you are lost without Jesus in your heart.

(3) You believe Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for your sins and for my sins.

What to do:

This is what you need to do: In Romans 10:9-13 it says......

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. FOr there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Whosoever means you...if YOU shall call upon the name of the Lord, YOU shall be saved.

Prayer:

If you will trust Jesus to take you to heaven when you die, just bow your head right now. If you really mean this with all your heart, (no one knows your heart but you and Jesus), pray this prayer......
"Dear God,

- I accept your git of heaven

- Come into my heart Jesus

- Take over my life

- Help me to live for you

- Thank you for saving me

- Thank you for eternal life

Assurance:

Read in the bible John #:36 and I John 5:9-13......

Now if you were to die today, according to the bible, where would you go? That is right, you would go to heaven. Why? Because Jesus saved you. You have been born again.

Next:

Follow these steps.......

Prayer... Talk to Jesus often, He is your best friend.

Bible... Jesus will talk to you and guide you through His word. Read it every day. Start in the book of Mathew and read through the book of Revelations at the end.

Church... Find a good church that taches that you must be born again to be saved and go to heaven. Attend often. Associate with other Christians who will encourage you in your walk as a Christian.

Baptism... Ask the pastor to teach you about baptism by immersion in water and baptism in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. If he will not, find a new church to attend where the pastor will.

Share... Share with others how they may also receive the wonderful gift of eternal life.

Study... Call or write us soon for your free bible study course and/or additional copies of this track.
