1 Thessalonians 5:17,18
"Pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

The most important decision you'll make in your entire life

Is it schooling? Who you'll marry? A money decision?

No, none of these.

It's the choice you make on where you'll spend eternity.

Option #1 Heaven: With God (In perfect peace forever, having exciting and meaningful things to do.)
Option #2 Hell: Without God (in never ending torment and judgement for sins. There is no escaping, no parole, no time off for good behavior. It is eternal, without end.)

God wants you to be saved from Option #2 and wants you to choose Option #1,
and He has made it easy and free to do so.
However, God isn't going to force you to love Him or to be with Him when you don't want to be. So it is your choice. If you don't choose then you've chosen Option 2 already.

In order to be accepted by God and escape the path to Hell, we have to get clean of sin.
The sin we have, separates us from the perfect and Holy God, making us filthy to Him, so much so He
couldn't look on it for eternity. Honestly, do you like to be around people that stink, are dirty and refuse to be clean?

The good news is, God has made a way, and it happens to be an easy way, to clean us up.

God sent His Son Jesus, to earth to die a horrendous death as a sacrafice, as payment for our sins and make that way for us to be washed from sin in God's eyes.
By shedding His blood, dying in our place, as a sacrafice to pay for the sin that we've committed
Jesus made the offering for sin needed for us to be saved from eternal judgement in Hell, Option #2. That is, if we accept it.


How to be cleaned up from sin and be acceptable to God:
You have to make the decision and ask God for it. (See Bible verses below).
I want to ask you to accept Jesus into your life right now, without any delay, where you sit. Ask Him into your life, accept what Jesus did by shedding His blood as payment for your sins
You do this in a simple prayer, which you can pray right now to God.
Make the prayer yourself and mean it. Or pray the following:

"God in Heaven, I accept your payment for my sins, I ask Jesus into my life, cleanse me, wash me of my sins and accept me I pray. I accept that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. Amen."

Here is what the Bible says:

John 3:16
Revelation 3:20a
John 1:12
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,"

Comment section

 

 

"If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. 10 We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we declare with our mouths that we believe, and so we are saved. ....as the Scripture says, 'Anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.'"

Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10, 13 (NCV)
