John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God. 1John 5:12-13
He that hath the Son hath life;
and
he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I
written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of God.
PREACHING ON
HEAVEN AND HELL
HAVE A CONCERN FOR THIS LIFE ONLY
Luke 14:17-20 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
DON’T FACE UP TO YOUR TRUE CONDITION
Acts 28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
DON’T BE SORRY FOR THE SINFUL LIFE YOU ARE LIVING
Ezekiel 33:9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
WAIT FOR A FEELING
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
WAIT UNTIL YOU CAN LIVE IT
The Apostle Paul, one of the greatest Christians who ever lived, said the following about himself. Romans 7:14-20 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
PUT OFF SALVATION UNTIL TOMORROW
Acts 24:24-25 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. (There is no record found where Felix ever got saved.)
REFUSE JESUS: TRY IT YOUR WAY
Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?
You must repent (Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. And Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:) and if you are godly sorrow you will repent (II Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.) And believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.) Thereby calling on Jesus for salvation (Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The choice is yours, friend, you must make the decision. If you now realize that you are lost, and would like to have Jesus as your Savior, right now bow you head, and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and save your soul from Hell.
