My family went out of town this weekend and I just wanted to start this post by thanking God for getting me and my family there safely and back home. While I was there I had a chance to talk with a family member and the conversation turned to Jesus and getting into Heaven. His response was, "I think God will forgive my sins come judgement day". I asked him if he was saved and he said "no". That broke my heart. I hear this alot when I talk to people. According to the Bible, which is Gods word, the only way we can get to Heaven is by repenting for our sins and accepting Jesus Christ. Come judgement day, if you haven't, and your names not in the "Lambs Book of Life" you will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity. I'm not saying this, it's what's in God's word. John tells us in Revelations 20 :12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books" In verse :15 "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire".
How do you get your name into the Lambs Book of Life? Repent your sins, leave your old ways behind and accept Jesus Christ. That's it. Gods not just gonna forgive you on Judgement day because you think he's "good". Because he is good he will have to obey his law which is to find anyone not saved as "guilty". He doesn't want you to be found "guilty", he wants you in Heaven with him. He loves you, won't you please accept his gift of Eternal Life in Heaven? Don't accept him because you've heard about the blessings that you'll get or because of how great you've heard life will be. Accept him because you know you've broken Gods Law that's laid out in the Old Testament. Have you ever lied, stole anything no matter how small, ever looked at someone in "lust". Jesus says to look at someone in "lust" is the same as commiting adultery in your heart. I have, I'll be the first to admit it. Give your life to Jesus and your slate will be wiped cleaned, you'll be forgiven and your name will be written in the Lambs Book of Life. I pray for each and every person that reads this that isn't saved to accept Gods free gift. It's yours, just accept it. How cool is that!
