[GG] [PREACHING LESSON 6:] WHAT IF YOU DIE TODAY? DO YOU KNOW 100% WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL GO, WHETHER HEAVEN OR HELL?

 WHAT IF YOU DIE TODAY? DO YOU KNOW 100% WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL GO, WHETHER HEAVEN OR HELL?

 

(Hebrews 9:27) "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

 

a. This is an honest question from the bottom of my heart because we are concerned for your "precious soul" that can be assured of going to heaven for eternity, my dear friend.

 

b. The Bible tells us that there is life after death; do not believe others who say that after death there is no more, like the life of the animals. God created men with a living soul.

 

(Genesis 2:7) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

4 Simple Things You Need to Know in Order for You to Make a Firm Decision to Be Saved

 

1. You need to know that God loves you, and He wants you to be saved now.

 

(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

 

God proved His love to you by giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross of Calvary to redeem us from our sins.

 

( Romans 5:8-9 ) "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  v.9: "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

 

2. You need to know that being a sinner, you cannot help yourself to save your soul.

 

(Romans 5:12) "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

 

We are bankrupt of God's righteousness; that is why we need a Savior who can save our soul.

 

(1 John 2:2) "And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

 

God provided us the Savior of the whole world.

 

3. You need to know that the very reason you need to be saved now is because "Hell" is a real place.

(Luke 16:19-25) "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:"  v.20: "And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,"  v.21:  "And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores." v.22: "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;"  v.23: "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."  v.24: "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."  v.25: "But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented."

 

That if you die today and you do not know 100% where your soul will go, if you die today without Christ in your heart, your soul will go to "Hell," and you will die without the promise of God of eternal life, without hope, and without God in this world, the Bible says.

 

(Ephesians 2:12) "That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:"

 

4. You need to know that you can be saved now.

 

(Romans 10:9) "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."

 

This is good news for you, my dear friend. Your firm decision is important. First, confess that you are a sinner before God. Second, admit that you cannot save yourself by your religion and good works or deeds; you are hopeless and helpless and need Jesus in your life today to save your soul.

 

"Now" is the day of your "salvation."

 

(II Corinthians 6:2) "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"

 

Do not wait for tomorrow, because we don't know what will happen ahead.

 

(James 4:14) "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

 

Life is so short, but now is the day appointed for your soul to be saved.

God bless you. I want to lead you in a simple prayer for accepting Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life.

 

Dear God, thank you for this message of a simple lesson for my salvation. I admit with all my heart that I am a sinner before you. I admit I cannot save my soul by my own religion and good works.  I believe the death and precious blood of Jesus Christ is enough to redeem me from all my sins, and now I open my heart and my mind, accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior of my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
