You've come to the right place. Today we often get offers to receive a free vacation for 3 days and 2 nights at a fabulous resort. Yet when we read the fine print, it states that we must attend a seminar where we'll be asked to buy something. We get this type of "free offer" all the time, but in reality there's nothing free about it. However, there really is a gift that's free. The only catch is that you have to read the following and believe.
What's the free gift that we have to offer?
How about the guarantee that when you die you'll be in heaven? You'll have the promise of no more death, pain, sorrow, nor crying, for your tears will be wiped away. (ref. Rev. 21:4).
Would you like to know how a person could be guaranteed a place in heaven?
The Bible is clear on the way to heaven, and it's as easy as A B C ...
Let's take the letter A and let it stand for Accept.
You must Accept the fact that …
You are separated from a relationship with God because of sin, which keeps you from entering into heaven.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." --Romans 3:23
You can do nothing on your own to get into heaven. No amount of good deeds or good morals will allow you to enter heaven.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." --Ephesians 2:8-9
You can only go to heaven by receiving the free gift of forgiveness from God.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." --John 3:16
That leads us to the letter B, which stands for Believe.
You must Believe the fact that …
Jesus Christ is God's Son.
"And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." --Matthew 3:17
Jesus Christ is the only way to a relationship with God.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." --John 14:6
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and that He rose three days later defeating death.
"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." --1 Corinthians 15:3b-4
That leads us to the last letter, C, which is Confess.
You must Confess ...
You must repent (which means turn) from your sin.
"But unless you repent you will all likewise perish." --Luke 13:3b
You must state that you believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." --Romans 10:9
You must tell others about your belief in Jesus Christ.
"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." --Matthew 10:32-33
Remember the three letters; A is to accept, B is to believe, and C is to confess. If you do all three of these things, Jesus Christ will be your Savior and Lord. You will have the free gift of eternal life that is available by God's grace. Once you do these things, you will be guaranteed a place in heaven.
Jesus stated, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." --John 14:3
If you believe the above and did it, you have just received the greatest gift anyone could ever receive. You are now a child of God with the privilege to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Please contact us to tell us of your decision and to receive help with your new relationship with God. — First Baptist Church
