Plalo, I like your honesty. God promised eternal life to whoever would believe in His Son Jesus. The world and this life are only temporary, and when you leave this earth, you need to know you have eternal life and will go to heaven. No one can earn their way to heaven on their own merit or even their finest behavior. Salvation is a gift of God, free to whoever will believe on Jesus. It’s the best investment you will ever make in your life. It’s far more important than fame, fortune, or anything this world has to offer. If you accomplish anything on this earth, let it be that you are reconciled to God once and for all. If you were to die next week, and no one knows when their time is up, you need to settle it once and for all. Jesus Christ is your eternal salvation, and there is no one else who can forgive your sins. It’s the wisest decision you will make in your life.
God loves you and sent Jesus to pay the penalty for your sins. He rose again to assure you of eternal life. The Bible shows only those IN Christ will be saved. The moment you CALL on the name of Jesus and turn to Him, scripture says you become seated in heavenly places in Christ. Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit which marks you as His.
He will be with you, never leave you or forsake you. He will make himself real to you. You put him first and he promised you won’t have to worry about your life. He will take care of you, be with you, help you, provide for you. Follow him, seek him, listen to him. He will show you his will for your life. He will open doors. He will be your strength and show you his power when your own strength is gone. There is nothing more exciting than knowing God....Absolutely nothing. Whatever it costs, your life, reputation, forsaking friends who want to do evil, fulfilling desires that you know the Lord wouldn’t be pleased with. Make that turn. He is worth eternal life and there is nothing more valuable or important. There is salvation in no other than Jesus Christ.
For God so loved the world, he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have eternal life. John 3.16
