  2. Do you know for sure…that you are going to be with God In heaven? If God were to ask you,“Why should I let youinto my heaven?”

  3. What would you say? You don’t know? Then this presentation is for you…

  4. We are delighted to bring you the best news youcould ever hear… The few minutes it will take you to view this presentation could change, not only your life, but also your eternal destiny.

  5. Did you know that the Bible tells …...how we can be certain of having eternal life and being with God in heaven? Here’s how:There are 5 Great Truths you should knowabout eternal life.

  6. 1. Heaven ...to be with God Eternal life is a free gift! The Bible says,“…The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6: 23).

  7. And because, HEAVEN IS A GIFT,like any other genuine gift: IT IS NOT EARNED OR DESERVED No amount of: Personal effort… Good works or… Religious deeds… can earn eternal life.

  8. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2: 8, 9). WHY is it that no one can earn his way to heaven? The reason is quite simple...

  9. MAN 2 THE PROBLEM IS:WHAT WE ARE!MAN IS A SINNER(Man is depraved, not deprived) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3: 23).

  10. What is sin?All sin is breaking the law of God. • It includes such things as: • lying • lust • cheating • deceit • anger • evil thoughts • immoral behaviour and more. AND BECAUSE OF THIS…

  11. We Are Totally Incapable of Saving OurselvesHelpless – YES! Hopeless –YES! Yet, this doesn’t stop some from trying.

  12. If you wanted to save yourself by good deeds, do you know how good you would have to be? The only standard God could accept is absolute perfection. “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5: 48).

  13. With such high standards, we cannot save ourselves. HOWEVER, IN SPITEOF OUR SIN….THE SITUATION IS NOT HOPELESS.

  14. 3 God GOD IS MERCIFUL The Bible reveals that God doesn’t want to punish us. He is a God of Love For God so lovedthe world that He gave His only begotten (unique) Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). But the same Bible tells us that God is Light….

  15. The Bible Says...GOD IS JUST! and therefore must punish sin.He says... “… the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18: 4).

  16. WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM God loves us andwants us to be saved But He is just andmust punish sin. Thankfully, this is a problem God has already solved. How?

  17. He solved this problem in ... 4 JESUS CHRIST WHO IS HE? The Bible tells us clearly that He is the eternal God yet he became a real man. ...God was manifested in the flesh... (1 Tim 3:16).

  18. Jesus Christ was completely different from you and me … His life was holy, sinless and pure. …But why did He come into the world?

  19. THE BIBLE SAYS Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. (1 Timothy 1: 15). He rose from the dead and now offers you eternal life as a free gift.(1 John 5: 13).

  20. Jesus Christ bore our sins in His body on the cross and now offers you eternal life (heaven) as a free gift. This gift is received by faith...

  21. FAITH 5 IS THE KEY THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO HEAVEN.

  22. Many people mistake 2 things for saving faith: 1. Saving faith is not mere INTELLECTUAL ASSENT,like believing certain historical facts. The Bible says that the devil believes there is one God. so believing that there is one God is not saving faith.

  23. 2 Others think faith is an emergency measure in times of crisis for financial, family, or physical needs.But this is temporal faith Now these are good, and you should trust Christ for these, but this is not the faith that saves us eternally.

  24. SAVING FAITH Is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and eternal life.It means resting upon CHRIST ALONEand on His sacrifice at Calvary to save you. You give up trusting in yourself or your church or your religion.

  25. “...Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ; and thou shalt be saved….” (Acts 16: 31). Nothing else is necessary. Nothing less will do.

  26. You have just read theGREATEST STORYever told about theGREATEST OFFERever made about theGREATEST PERSON Who ever lived JESUS CHRIST. It’s decision time!

  27. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVETHE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE?

  28. Because this is such an important matter… Let’s clarify just what it involves. It means that you need to: TRANSFER YOUR TRUST Away from what you can do to what Christ has done for you on the cross.

  29. Therefore… by grace you are saved through faith and that not of your selves, it is the gift of God not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2: 8-9). When The Lord Jesus died on the cross He said…‘It is finished’.

  30. ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR…As many as received Him to them gave He the right to become the children of God. (John 1: 12).

  31. He says: “Behold I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My voice, and openthe door, I will come in unto him… (Revelation 3: 20).

  32. RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS LORD Give Him full control of your life YOU MUST REPENT Change your attitude to yourself and your sin. Be willing to turn from all known sin in your life and turn simply to Him. Now, if this is what you really want…

  33. YOU CAN GO TO GOD IN PRAYER Just where you are. You can receive His gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ - right now.

  34. For with the heart man believeth unto salvation...For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lordshallbe saved.”(Romans 10: 10, 13).

  35. If you want to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, then call on Him, asking Him to save you right now.

  36. Here are the prayers of some in the Bible A Tax Collector:‘God be merciful to me a sinner’. (Luke 18: 13). A dying criminal: ‘Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom’. (Luke 23: 42). Peter – A fisherman‘Lord save me’. (Matthew 14: 30). The Lord Jesus said,Ye must be born again (John 3: 7).

  37. To receive eternal life is to be born again. When you were born your name was recorded somewhere on earth. When you are born again you name is recorded in heaven. YOUR SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY Is a day you will want to remember!

  38. WHAT ABOUT YOUR SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY? Jesus told His disciples – “Rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10: 20).

  39. Remember! Whosoever shall call upon the name ofthe Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10: 13).

  40. If you have trusted Christ as your Saviour … a new life has begun. You are a member of a new family. Having regular fellowship with other Christians is vitally important. Look for a fellowship of believers that…

  41. Honours the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. (Philippians 2: 5-11).

  42. Believes the Bible is God’s infallible Word and arewilling to submit to it.(2 Timothy 3: 15-16). • Teaches the vital truths of Christianity. • Preaches the gospel of the grace of God - salvation depends solely on what the Lord Jesus did. • Keep company with obedient believers. • Resolve to submit entirely tothe Word of God.

  43. Practices what the Bible Teaches (Acts 2: 41- 42) '...Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life'.  -  (John 4: 13-14).

  44. We’re Serious About Your Safety! Don’t Forget… …that you are more than a mass of breathing clay. (Genesis 2: 7).

  45. Don’t Forget… …that there is something within you that the undertaker cannot bury. (Ecclesiastes 12: 7).

  46. Don’t Forget… …that your soul will outlast the mountains which look eternal. (Revelation 6: 14).

  47. Don’t Forget… …that you will soon live in that eternity which lies before you. (Job 14 2).

  48. Don’t Forget… …that heaven and hell are eternal realities.(Luke 16: 22,23).

  49. Don’t Forget… …that you must eternally exist in one or the other when your life here ends. (Matthew 7 : 13,14).

  50. Don’t Forget… …that those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ will be lost… (John 8: 21). Forever…
