Tell me the Truth

My Dear Friend,

May I lovingly tell you that one day you will die and open your eyes in another world: either in...
  • A state of supreme happiness and joy, exceeding anything ever known in this life, known as... HEAVEN.
  • A state of unbelievable anguish, pain, and torment, exceeding anything ever known in this life, known as... HELL
There is no annihilation! There is no re-incarnation! There is no escape!

How to be sure of Heaven

REALIZE...
  1. That there IS a life after death, and you MUST prepare for it.
  2. That no matter how good you have or how wicked you may be, you are a sinner in God's sight.
  3. That good works, Church attendance, Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, or any other ordinance can never save your soul.
  4. That God's only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, died on the Cross of Calvary to purchase salvation for you through the shedding of  His own precious Blood.
THEN...
  1. Come to Him confessing your sins. He said, "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37) Repentance is absolutely necessary for Salvation.
  2. Trust Him to forgive your sins through the merit of His atonement for your sins on the cross of Calvary. his word says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to.give us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
  3. You may be tempted to think that your sins are too great for God to forgive you. Do not look at your sins or your feelings. Look only to what Lord Jesus Christ, and believe what God has said, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
  4. Then in simple faith Trust Him to be your Saviour. "As many as received Him,to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12) Receive Home as your Saviour by simple trust in His promise.
  5. The next step is to confess to someone that you are now a Christian  - that the Lord is your Saviour and that you belong to Him. When you do this sincerely, you will find assurance, and peace and joy coming into your heart." (Romans 10:9-10)
  6. Read your Bible every day. Have a regular times for prayer every day. Go to services where you will meet other Christians, and find their friendship and help in your new life.
How to be sure of Hell
  1. Deceive yourself by pretending or arguing that there is no such place
  2. Neglect preparation for Heaven
  3. Try to get to Heaven by any other way than God's way.

Game of Life

I was sitting on park with Mom when a British Black Carribean man approached us and lent us flyers addressed from A&M McBride. It goes on like this.

When the final whistle blows. Which side will you be on?

Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Hockey - great! But in the eyes of many, there is no game like football! To watch 22 players on a green grassy pitch can be electrifying, gripping, thrilling. Midfielders, strikers, goalkeepers, defence - all have their part to play. They all want their team to win! When it comes to Football, most of us are only spectators, or fans.

But let me tell you about another game in which there are no spectators, and where all are active participants. This is no 90 minute game with half-time for rest and refreshment, but last from the moment of death. It is the Game of Life. There is a winning side and a losing side. The winning side is centred around a goal - Jesus Christ. To be on the losing side is a disaster so awful to contemplate.

On the spiritual field, Jesus is the referee, the world is the pitch and the first YELLOW CARD is a WARNING to you to prepare meet God. The second YELLOW CARD is your FINAL WARNING; =a RED CARD and you are SENT OFF forever to that place the Bible calls HELL.

When the final whistle blows on your life make sure you are on the winning side. It's a goal!

With Love,
Ariane

P.S.

The Sinner's Prayer
"God be merciful to me, a sinner. I repent now of all my sins and turn from them, and place my trust alone in the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation - I believe that the Blood of Jesus shed for me on the Cross atones for my sins. Make me a new person in Christ Jesus and give me power in my life to live for Theeand serve Thee. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen"
