First Baptist Church of South Holland

Are you 100% sure that if you died today, you would go to Heaven?

REALIZE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
None of us are good enough to go to Heaven on our own merit. No matter how good we try to be, we still fall short of God's glory.

REALIZE THAT THERE IS A PAYMENT FOR SIN.
"For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23a).
Just as there is a reward for good, there is a punishment for wrong. The punishment for sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.

REALIZE THAT JESUS CHRIST TOOK THE PAYMENT FOR SIN.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
God showed His love by sending His Son Jesus. Jesus died on the cross to pay our sin debt and rose again.

REALIZE THAT YOU MUST TRUST JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR.
"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" (Romans 10:9).
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus, and He offers it freely to all those who believe and call upon Him in faith.

PRAY AND TRUST JESUS TO BE YOUR SAVIOUR.
Here is a sample prayer you can pray to help you confess to God what you now believe:
"Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I know I should go to Hell for my sins, but I believe that You died to pay for my sins and rose again so I could have eternal life in Heaven. I cannot get to Heaven by myself, so I am trusting You, Jesus, to save me. Thank You for saving me!"

CONGRATULATIONS!
If you just prayed that prayer, confessing your faith in Jesus Christ, we would like to get you more information and rejoice with you! Please call us at (708) 782-5055.
