A Free Gift

God has created a way for us to inherit his Kingdom, and have the promise of eternal [FOREVER] salvation, and live forever in perfection. The best part is its FREE. The Bible does tell us that there is a heaven and a hell. Sinners that die with out salvation are subjected to God's wrath, which is to be tormented forever in hell, but sinners that have been redeemed through God's amazing grace by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior, have a promise of eternal life in heaven. I would like to share this gift with you.

First we need to turn to our bibles and look at Romans 3:23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God(Romans 3:23 KJV). Simply put we are all born sinners and can't save ourselves from hell by our own means. As it is written, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE: (Romans 3:10 KJV). None of us deserve inheritance into God's Kingdom. We're all like filthy rags full of sin, and lust after the flesh (worldly desires).

For the wages sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23 KJV) Because of our sin we deserve death. That is to say physical and spiritual, meaning our soul will be cast into the "the lake of fire" (Rev 20:15). We can receive the gift of God only through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and no one else. But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8 KJV). Jesus Christ's death was vicarious, that is, He did not die merely for our benefit, BUT IN OUR PLACE. His death was a substitutionary sacrifice. Jesus Christ paid the full price for our sins. He suffered so we wouldn't be tormented forever and ever. This demonstrates God's perfect love that He would sacrifice His only son for His creations' well being.

For WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED(Romans 10:13 KJV) In order for us to be heirs of God's kingdom, we must pray and believe that the only way we can have eternal life is through Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the Cross of Calvary. We must believe in our heart, soul, and mind that Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins. That he died and rose again on the third day, and that we can't save ourselves, only through Jesus can we have salvation, and the eternal peace that we long for.

If you want to know for sure that when you die you will have a home in heaven please pray a prayer like this, and believe it with your whole being.

Father, I need You. Thank You for sending your only begotten Son to die on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. In Jesus' name I pray Amen.

If you said a prayer like this and recieved Jesus Christ in your heart please e-mail me and let me know.

In His Service,
Walter Karroll
