(It's a matter of F.A.I.T.H.)

F is for Forgiveness

Everyone has sinned needs God's forgiveness.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
~Romans 3:23

God's forgiveness is in Jesus only.

                    In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,
                         according to the riches of His Grace
                                                                                ~Ephesians 1:7

A is for Available

God's forgiveness is available for all.

                    God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone
                        who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
                                                                                ~John 3:16

God's forgiveness is available but not automatic.

Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord!" will enter the kingdom of heaven.
~Matthew 7:21

I is for Impossible

According to the Bible, it is impossible to get to heaven
on our own.

                    By grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves;
                        it is God's gift - not from works, so that no one can boast.
                                                                                ~Ephesians 2:8-9

So...how can a sinful person have eternal life and enter heaven?

T is for Turn

Turn means "repent"- TURN away from sin and self.

Unless you repent, you will all perish as well.
~Luke 13:3

TURN to Jesus alone as your Savior and Lord.

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
~John 14:6

Here is the greatest news of all...

                    If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that
                        God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes,
                        resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
                                                                                ~Romans 10:9-10

What happens if a person is willing to repent of their sins and confess Christ?

H is for Heaven

Heaven is a place where we will live with God forever.

                    If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself,
                        so that where I am you will be also.
                                                                                ~John 14:3

Eternal life begins now with Jesus

I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance.
~John 10:10

H also stands for How...How can a person have God's forgiveness, eternal life,
and heaven? It's by trusting Jesus as your Savior and Lord.

If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior,
pray a prayer like this asking Him to save you.

"Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins
and rose from the dead. The best way I know how, I ask You to forgive my sins,
and I personally accept You as my Savior. For this moment on,
I am going to depend on You for my salvation. Amen."

If you have prayed and trusted Jesus as your Savior,
please contact us so we can rejoice with you and help you grow in the Lord.
