Salvation is Like a Parachute

Would you jump out of a plane without a parachute? Living our lives without Christ is just like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. People give us many reasons for being saved like blessing, healing, prosperity, good feelings, etc. But there is really only one good reason to give our hearts to the Lord. And that is to have our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. To know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that when we die, we will go to Heaven. The Bible says that "we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God." Sin has to be punished and the punishment for sin is death. But God loved us so much that He sent His one and only son to die and to take our punishment. When Jesus went to the cross and spent three days in Hell, He took our punishment upon Himself. He took our punishment so we don't have too. A lot of people now a days think that there are many roads to God. But the Bible is very clear in saying that there is only one way and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. One way. Only one. It's not popular to tell people that if they die without Jesus that they will spend eternity separated from God, in Hell. But it's the truth. If you have doubts about this, I would encourage you to just pray and ask God to clearly reveal Himself to you, to open your eyes to the truth. It's not worth the risk, is it? Josh McDowell was an atheist. He is a very intellectual man and he set out to prove that there is no God. Guess what? In the process, he proved the opposite and today he is a born again Christian. I would encourage you to read his books. One that I like is called, "Evidence that demands a verdict."
Do you want to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior? It is very simple. Just pray a simple prayer like this one, "Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned, I know that I am lost without you. Please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Forgive my sins, wash me in your blood. I will walk with you from this day forward. In Jesus name, Amen."
Now start reading your Bible and watch how God will reveal Himself to you. Find a Bible based church to be a part of. I will be praying for you!
