DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT IF YOU
\nDIED TODAY YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If Jesus Christ returned today,
\ndo you know for sure that you
\nwould go to Heaven with Him?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

REALIZE THAT GOD LOVES YOU<\/span><\/strong>
\n“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
\nthat whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
\nbut have everlasting life.”<\/em>
\nJohn 3:16
\n<\/span>\u00a0(God loves you and has a plan for your life)<\/span><\/p>\n

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL MEN ARE SINNERS<\/span><\/strong>
\n“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”<\/em>
\nRomans 3:23
\n(Our sins have separated us from God)<\/span><\/p>\n

God made man in His own image. He gave man the ability to choose right from wrong. We choose to sin. Our sins separate us from God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

GOD’S WORD ALSO SAYS
\nTHAT SIN MUST BE PAID FOR<\/span><\/strong>
\n“For the wages of sin is death…”<\/em>
\nRomans 6:23<\/span><\/p>\n

Wages means payment.\u00a0 The payment of our sin is death and hell, separation from God forever.\u00a0 If we continue in our sin, we shall die without Christ and be without God forever.<\/p>\n

THE<\/span>\u00a0GOOD NEWS<\/span>\u00a0IS THAT
\nCHRIST PAID FOR OUR SINS<\/span><\/strong>
\n“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
\nChrist died for us.”\u00a0<\/em>
\nRomans 5:8<\/span><\/p>\n

All our sins were laid on Christ on the cross. He literally became sin for us and took the wrath of God upon Himself in your place and in mine.\u00a0 He paid our sin debt for us.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WE MUST PERSONALLY PRAY AND
\nRECEIVE CHRIST BY FAITH AS OUR SAVIOR<\/span><\/strong>
\n“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.\u00a0 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”<\/em><\/span>
\nRomans 10:9-10
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It is vital to realize each individual must call on Jesus Christ to become his Lord and Savior.\u00a0 Only through the acknowledgment of this personal need can one become a child of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

BY WAY OF REVIEW:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Realize that God loves you……………………………………………………..John 3:16
\nAll men are sinners ……………………………………………………………Romans 3:23
\nSin must be paid for…………………………………………………………..Romans 6:23
\nChrist paid for our sins…………………………………………………………Romans 5:8
\nWe must personally pray and receive Christ as our Savior………Romans 10:13
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PRAY AND RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR<\/span>
\n<\/span>“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”<\/em>
\nRomans 10:13<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>\u00a0Lord, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today I would not go to heaven.
\nForgive my sin, come into my life and be my Savior. Help me live for You
\nfrom this day forward.\u00a0 In Jesus’ name, Amen<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

NEW LIFE<\/span>
\n” Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. “<\/em><\/span>
\nII Corinthians 5:17<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Everlasting life begins when\u00a0you receive Christ as your Savior.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4928"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5608,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4928\/revisions\/5608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
