Welcome!

Please take but a few moments of time to read this message.

At the risk of sounding morbid, I would like to remind you that, at some point, you are going to die. It is known as “The Ultimate Statistic”. (A one to one ratio... Everyone eventually departs from this realm of life.)

Have you ever thought about what happens when you die?

The Bible tells us that there IS an after-life!
There IS a real Heaven and there IS a real Hell.
(Jesus spoke more of Hell than Heaven when he walked this Earth in the flesh. Check out the book of Matthew some time starting in chapter five.)

Where do you plan to spend eternity? Where do you deserve to spend eternity?

The two are not necessarily the same. It likely depends upon with who's standard you view your life.
Let's take a look at God's standard. Have you broken any of God's Law?
How about the Ten Commandments?

Have you ever told a lie?
(Now, be honest... Not even a “little white lie”? I thought so.)
Revelation 21:8 says, “... all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Have you ever taken the Lord's name in vain?
(By using God's name in place of a curse word or using it “lightly”.)
Exodus 20:7 says, “For the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.”

Have you ever looked at a woman with lust?
(Yes, ladies, the same applies to you in reverse.)
Well, Jesus said that “whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” in Matthew 5:28.

As a result, by your own confession, you are a lying adulterer at heart who has taken the name of the Lord in vain. In the eyes of a just God, YOU are guilty of sin and “the wages of sin is death” according to Romans 6:23.

There is no “A for Effort” or “Extra Credit” available; it is black and white.

The Bible says that there is life eternal for those who are in Christ (Romans 8:1) and eternal damnation for all who reject Christ in this life. (Jesus said, “whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” in Matthew 10:33.)

Let me make it crystal clear. There is no amount of “Good Works” that you can pay your way into Heaven with. There is no free pass for attending church. There is no amount of “religious living” that can save you nor will you be given credit because your favorite Aunt Sally was a Christian.

To avoid your deserved penalty, you yourself must be born again from above. How you ask?

• YOU yourself must be humble and admit that you are a sinner before a just God.
  (“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23)
  
• YOU yourself must repent (turn 180 degrees from your sin) and turn directly and fully toward Christ.
  (“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32)
  
• YOU yourself must place your faith in Christ Jesus.
  (“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.” Romans 10:9)

This is totally “on you”; nobody else can make the decision for you. There is really no time like the present to make this decision either. You could die tomorrow. You could die today. If you depart from this realm of life before accepting Christ as your personal Savior, you WILL experience Hell. Hell is no “Club Med” for sinners either. It is a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Luke 13:28) and a place where the fire is not quenched and their worm dies not (Mark 9:48). You will experience utter darkness; completely apart from anything that is good or may possibly bring pleasure with no possible hope of escape.

My friend, I do not want to see you perish any more than you wish to perish!

The Good News is that there IS a way to avoid death, Hell and the grave as we know it. Jesus Christ, the second person of Deity (of the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit), came to Earth and lived in the flesh approximately 2000 years ago. Out of God's infinite love toward humanity, Jesus came, suffered and died for ALL of us, becoming sin for us on the Cross, while we were still yet in our sin (Romans 5:8). But, it did not stop there. On the third day, Christ rose from the dead, flesh body and all, and eventually ascended to Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God the Father to this very day making intercession for all who have given their lives to Him.

YOUR Penalty has been paid in FULL!

To receive this Gift from God, turn from your sin and Accept Jesus Christ as YOUR personal Savior now.
It is easy, painless and only takes a few moments to initiate.

The Following is a Sample Prayer:
(Call out to God in a similar fashion from the bottom of your heart.)

"Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I have sinned and fall short of your standard. I also acknowledge that you sent your son to suffer and die for me that I not have to. Jesus, come into my heart and dwell in me. Father, I have called upon the name of the Lord and I know that I am now your son (daughter). I thank you for saving me! In Jesus name. Amen!"

You are now a new creature, Born Again, in Christ! All of Heaven rejoices with you!

So, what's next? Well, first, I implore you to get a hold of a Bible (King James Version, New King James Version, New American Standard, Amplified... All quality translations) and make time to read it daily. With God's help, you are embarking on a new life. (Colossians 3:1-17) However, you simply can not stand on God's Word if you do not know what it says! As you read, do so with Reverence for the Word of God. Trust that you will have understanding and be changed by it for the better. Some think of the Holy Bible as an “Owner's Manual for Life”. That is a good way to look at it because it is nearly impossible to live and reign victoriously in THIS life without knowing what God says and laying claim on the promises His Word says are yours!

Secondly, I urge you to be open about your transformation. You can start by e-mailing me (dunamisekhupsos|at|gmail.com) if you wish. (“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. ” Proverbs 27:17) The Bible is clear that there is to be fellowship among believers. So, seek a good church and attend. (You will know a "good church" because JESUS will be the focus. Seeing lost souls saved will be priority number one and the church will not, "Have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof". 2 Timothy 3:5)

Finally, my Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I urge you to share this message with others who have not made the decision for Christ. It is God's will that none should perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9 ). So, therefore, should it be your will.

God Bless and Keep You Always!
