Million Dollar Question

Here's the Million Dollar Question... Are you good enough to go to Heaven? Let's see if you are a good person. Have you ever told a lie? White lies, fibs, and exaggerations are all considered lies to God. If you have, then you are a liar. Have you ever stolen anything ( value doesn't matter)? If you have, then you are a thief in Gods perfect sight. Have you ever murdered anybody? The Bible says "Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer" (1 John 3:15) Have you ever hated anybody? If so, then God sees you as a murderer. On the Day of Judgment, will you be innocent or guilty? If you are honest with yourself, you will see that you will be guilty. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. The good news is that's not God's will. Pictures yourself in a courtroom, guilty of many serious crimes. The fine is $500,000 or life in prison. You don't have any money with which to pay your fine. The guards begin to lead you off to jail. All of a sudden, someone steps in and pays your fine for you. You are free to go. How would that make you feel? That's what Jesus Christ did for you 2000 years ago. He paid the penalty for your sins by dying on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the dead three days later. The Bible expresses it like this: "God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16) God promised eternal life to those who confess and forsake their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone to save them. Confess your sins to God (name them) and forsake them once and for all. Then place your faith in Jesus. Don't put it off until tomorrow! You may not have tomorrow. Read the Bible and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
