If You Died Tonight...

How about you? Where would you go if you died tonight?

It’s a question everyone needs to think about. You can prepare now for the time you will die by giving your life to Jesus Christ today.

The Bible says in Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Everyone sins by lying or coveting things that others have. We sin if we hate someone or refuse to forgive them. We sin by being selfish, or putting ourselves first over others. Our sins separate us from Holy God, but His Son, Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins so that we can be reconciled with God. It’s a free gift, but we only have it by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

You don’t have to be afraid of dying if you make your life right with God. In Romans 10:9 the Bible tells us how to do that. “If you confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved.” God made it so simple for us to be reconciled with God that even a little child can do it.

First, you must recognize that you’re a sinner. Even though you may not know how to turn away from your sin life and follow Him, He will help you.

Second, you must be sorry for the sins you have committed and ask God to forgive you.

Third, if you will pray sincerely from your heart asking Jesus to come into your life and change you, and forgive your sins, He will. Pray this prayer after me:

God, I know I’m a sinner. Please forgive me for all my sins. I turn away from my sins and I ask you to help me live for You. I believe Jesus died on the cross in my place, and that You raised Him from the dead. I put my trust in You. Come and live in me and lead and guide my life by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I ask You, amen.

If you prayed that prayer, please email me at gtta@tx.rr.com and tell me about your decision. Give me your address and I will send you a New Testament and some literature to help you grow spiritually.

God bless you!
