I just want to share with you what I know is true and what I believe in.
Keep reading,okay?
I've been writing lots of stories here in wattpad but I realized that I have to write what's important and what could help you, guys.
And of course, what would please God.
Have you ever thought of the place you would be after you die?
You probably know that it's either Heaven or Hell,right?
But are you sure where will you be?
What if you die next month, next week, tomorrow..tonight? Are you ready?
Let me start by telling you what the Bible says in Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and come short to the glory of God."
So all of us have sinned. Me.. You.. admit it.
We have sinned. We have been separated from God.
Are you familiar with the story of Adam and Eve? The first two people God created?
They were told that they could eat any fruit in the Garden of Eden ---except one.. and that was on the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
But because they were tempted by satan (in the form of a serpent), they disobeyed God. They ate the fruit and then they realized they were naked and then they were ashamed.
Because they sinned, they were separated from God.
Just like us. We are separated from God because we are sinners and Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life throught Jesus Christ our Lord."
Now let's talk about the first line --- the wages of sin is death.
The payment for our sin is death.
Since all of us have sinned, we would die -- and that death would be spent in hell.
But you know what?
God loves us so much that He sent his only begotten son to die on the cross and pay for our sins.. and whosoever that believes in Him would perish but have everlasting life.
Second line in Romans 6:23 - "... But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
God gave Jesus Christ to us.
Jesus Christ came into this world to save us.
He took all the shame and sadness. He was crucified on the cross .. because of us.
We are the ones who are sinners but he sacrified for us. He died on the cross.
Jesus Christ is a gift and in Him there is eternal life.
So in order for you to go to heaven, you must accept Him.
Jesus Christ is not a reward that you can get when you do good works, when you give money to the poor or when you are very religious.
The Bible says that eternal life is in Jesus Christ our Lord. It doesn't say that eternal life is in good works, or money or religion.
It is in Jesus Christ alone.
Ephesians 2:8-9:
2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
