MY ETERNITY …… WHERE? Did you ever think, as the hearse goes by, that some certain day both you and I will take a ride in that big black hack, and shall never remember coming back? Rake, scrape, borrow and save – You lose it all when you go to the grave. Money, a dead man’s hand won’t hold. Nor can life be purchased with silver and gold. For, if life were a thing that money could buy, the rich would live and the poor would die. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27). “For God will bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and...

Sin is powerful. So what is sin? It is both doing what you know is wrong and not doing what you know is right. Sin has the power to make prisoners of everyone. But there is good news! God’s power is stronger. When you put your faith in Jesus Christ, God sets you free! Sin causes you to fall short of God’s standard for living, but God sets you free! All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins. God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life’s blood, so that by faith in him we could come to God. And God did this to show that in the past he was right to be patient and forgive sinners...

Hell! Read how the Bible describes hell: A lake of fire – "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15) A bottomless pit – "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand." (Revelation 20:1) A horrible tempest – "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." (Psalm 11:6) A place of everlasting burnings – "The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?" (Isaiah 33:14) A furnace of fire – "And shall cast...

Real love is God’s saving love: God’s love for you is real … so real that God sent Jesus into the world to save you. God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! No one who has faith in God’s Son will be condemned. But everyone who does not have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God’s only Son. (John 3:16-18) Real love brings you forgiveness: Confess your sins to God, who forgives you and takes your sins away. Jesus told us that God is light and doesn’t have any darkness in him. If we say that we share in...

Do you every feel like you’re a nobody? What a downer! But being a nobody is not the way God sees you. God created you in a special way to be somebody. Because God love you, you are somebody! And because you are somebody, Jesus Christ died for you and took away your sin. Now you have eternal life, and that make you somebody! You are somebody – God accepts you! God treats everyone alike. He accepts people only because they have faith in Jesus Christ. All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins. God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life’s blood, so that by faith in him we could...

We all need comfort at one time or another. You may have lost a job, or maybe the bank is foreclosing on your home or maybe you have lost a loved one. It’s always nice to have someone to comfort you. But sometimes there is no one around when you need to be comforted. My friend, Let me introduce you to someone that will always be there every time you need to be comforted. His name is Jesus Christ. Friends won’t always be there and when they are, do they really know what you need to hear? Jesus Knows. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled...

Everyone knows that death brings us face to face with God. And if things aren’t what they should be, the idea is frightening. Many push it out of the mind until too late. Surely you are wiser than that. The question? “If you died the minute you started to read this, do you have the assurance that you would be in heaven?” The BIBLE SAYS there are four things a person must know to go to heaven: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God – Romans 3:23. This means we fall short of Jesus, God’s Glory. For the wages of sins is death – Romans 6:23. Our sin has earned a ways and that wage is death or separation from God in Hell. But God commendeth His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us – Romans...

Many people, because they do not understand the meaning of the term, “BORN AGAIN,” pass the matter out of their minds without giving it the serious consideration it deserves. The new birth is vital link which cannot be neglected without a break in the chain that connects us with Christ and eternal life. We are not presenting her some fad or fable, or the views of some religious sect, but declaring unto you the eternal Word of God. When Jesus Christ said in the third chapter of John, “Ye must be born again,” He meant you to understand that regeneration is a “MUST,” and not optional. Therefore action is demanded. You will take action by accepting, rejecting or neglecting the new birth and thereby determine your eternal destiny. Many...

There are times in life when we need a boost of faith. In a stress filled world, we tend to forget that there is still hope and that hope is found in God's Word. We have to believe that any situation can be conquered with faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith that is the substance of things hoped for is always "Now" faith. This faith states that when you believe you already have what you prayed what you prayed for, it will be done unto you. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Without this faith, it is impossible to please God, for He that comes to God must...

You would be surprised if you knew how many blessings God wants to give you. And all of these gifts are found in the gift of God – His own dear Son. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting lift.” (John 3:16). God gave His Son. Isaiah prophesied 600 years before Christ came, “A Son is given,” (Isaiah 9:6). Paul, speaking of God’s Son wrote, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15). You want peace with God? You long for hope? You seek forgiveness? God wants to give you all of these! You yearn for hope? You want to know for sure that you are saved and that you have eternal life? God wants to give you eternal life...
