It's good to do good deeds and God wants that, but your good deeds cannot make up for your sins. It's like a bank robber that gets caught and tells the police that he gives to the poor and helps people. That does not make up for the fact that he robbed the bank.
God wants everyone to go to heaven and be with Him. That is why He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us.
In John 3:16 it says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
The word perish here means the opposite of eternal life -- which is eternal death or Hell. God gives us His instructions in the bible to lead us to Him so that we can receive salvation. He does this because He loves us and wants everyone to be in heaven with Him when they die.
In Romans 3:23 it says,
“For all have sinned; and fall short of God's glorious standard.”
What this means is that all of us have sinned. We have all done wrong and do not deserve to be in God's glorious presence. None of us deserve to go to heaven. I don't deserve to go, you don't deserve to go. None of us deserve to go to heaven. We have all disobeyed God in our lives.
In Romans 6:23 it says,
“For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Here “the wages of sin” means the “consequence of sin” or what we earn by sinning.
And the type of death being described here is spiritual death -- which is Hell -- as explained in the Bible in the book of Revelations where it states “The lake of fire is the second DEATH. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14-15.
So these last 3 scriptures are very serious because they are saying that:
1. We Have All Sinned,
2. The Consequence Of Sin Is Death, and
3. Death Is The Lake of Fire or Hell.
What this means is that we are all destined to go to Hell -- unless we allow God to intervene in our life.
But God does not want anyone to go to Hell. That is why He sent Jesus to die for all our sins on the cross.
And it is only through Jesus that we can receive eternal life. In John 14:6 Jesus said,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one can come to the Father except through Me.”
We can only be saved through Jesus. There is no other way. The only payment that the Father accepts for our sins is the blood of Jesus. That is why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. He did it because He loves us. It is not because we deserve it -- because none of us deserve to go to heaven.
Now it is only the children of God that get to be with God when they die. In John 1:12 God the Father, shows us how to become His child. He tells us,
“But to all who believed in Him, that is Jesus, and received Him, He gave the right to become children of God.”
And believing in Christ not only means that you believe that He exists, it also means that you put your full trust and obedience in Him. That is what is meant by believing in Him as Lord.
The word “Lord” means “King” or “Master” -- the One you trust and obey. In Romans 10:9 it says,
“If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
The word “confess” means “to agree with.” So to truly confess that Jesus is Lord means that He is your Lord - the One you surrender to and trust and obey.
Now you receive Christ through faith and not by “earning it” with good deeds. It says in Ephesians 2:8-9 that,
“For it is by grace (or undeserved favor) that you are saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so, none of us can brag about it.”
You don't earn salvation -- you receive it as a free gift from God. It is like receiving a Christmas gift. You don't pay for the Christmas gift. But you do decide whether you will receive it or not.
The price of your salvation was paid for by Jesus on the cross. And the cost to Jesus was very terrible. It is way beyond what I can comprehend. Jesus suffered terribly for us so that we all could go to heaven. The one thing left for you to do, is to receive the salvation Jesus paid for as a free gift from God.
Although Jesus wants very much to give eternal life to everyone, He will not force anyone to receive Him as Lord. He gives everyone a free will choice. But He does invite everyone who wants to, to receive Him and receive eternal life.
In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says,
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with Me.”
So we all have a choice to make. We can live a self-directed life -- separate from God -- or a Christ directed life with God.
In a self-directed life you go your own way without God. But the choice is forever. If you die in that state you will forever be separated from God and perish in Hell. In Luke 13:3 Jesus warns us that “unless you repent, you too will all perish.” God does not desire this for anyone but God will not force anyone to receive Him.
In a Christ-directed life, you surrender completely to Christ and give your life to Him. God created us and He died on the cross for us. He loves us dearly. In reality, God gives us infinitely more than what we could ever give Him.
If you do give your life to Jesus then Jesus promises you eternal life as He says in John 6:40, which says,
“For My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes, that is trusts, in Him shall have eternal life.”
By receiving Jesus as Lord of your life you at the same time repent from going your own way -- which is always away from God.
In fact, the word “repent” means to turn around. To make a U-turn. To change from going your own way, to going God's way by following Him. Repent also means to turn away from sin. By following Jesus you also turn away from sin.
As you receive Jesus and give your life to Him, you also ask for His forgiveness and reject all pursuit of sin.
If you have walked away from the Lord or have gone back to sinning and now want to repent of sin and come back to Jesus, you can also pray as shown below.
The prayer is shown below. Do you want to pray this prayer to God? It is not to me, or to my church, or to my denomination. It is a prayer you are making to God. It is a decision you are making to God -- Who created you and loves you.
Would you like to pray this prayer to commit your life to Jesus? Say each line to God as follows:
Prayer to Receive Jesus As Lord:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and unable to save myself by my own deeds or my own way. But I do believe that You love me, and that You were sent to die on the cross for my sins. Right here and now, I repent of all sin and ask you to forgive all my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I completely give my life to You, Jesus. Thank You, dear God, for hearing and answering my prayer, and for giving me eternal life as You promised You would. Amen.”
When you prayed this did you mean it? If you did then by God's promise you now have eternal life. Because it says in 1 John 5:13,
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
If you were to die today you would go to heaven to be with God. We know this because God always keeps His word.
Get a bible and start reading it in the New Testament. Join a good biblebelieving church.
If You Did Not Pray To Receive Jesus.
Do you believe Jesus loves you? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for your sins? Is there sin that you want to continue in? You do realize, that a decision to stay in sin is a decision to stay away from Jesus?
You do realize, that if you die separated from Jesus then you will end up in Hell when you die? This is something Jesus warns us about. Because He loves you and does not want you to go to Hell when you die.
God would never do anything to harm you. Harm comes when you stay separated from God. But God only wants to give you eternal life. Sometimes sacrifice is involved in following Jesus -- but it is always for your own good or the good of others.
I urge you not to put off giving your life to Jesus. None of us are guaranteed that we will live even one more day. It says in Hebrews chapter 3:
“So, as the Holy Spirit says 'Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion .. So I declared on oath in My anger, 'They shall never enter My rest.' ”.. So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.” Hebrews 3:7-19.
This last scripture are the words of the Holy Spirit who helps us come to Jesus. God loves you very much and really wants to give you eternal life.
Please consider what God is saying in the bible, about how to receive eternal life. It is the most important decision not just of your life but of your entire existence. Ultimately you will exist forever – either in heaven or Hell.
AFTERWORD
Really mean business with God by repenting of all sins and rededicating your life to Jesus. It is extremely important to always repent quickly, forgive quickly, and to believe everything God says in His Word - The Bible.
I myself review my life daily to see where I have sinned and to repent, ask forgiveness, and to get God's forgiveness and help to avoid sin in the future.
Remember if you are not ready you will be left behind when Jesus comes to rapture His holy saints. Or if you die you will go to Hell – if you are not ready and with your robes washed clean by the Blood of Jesus.
Nothing else in this life is more important.
Keep praying to Jesus to clean you up. Jesus will show you, step by step, the sins to repent of. Do not doubt the voice of the Holy Spirit. Believe Him, Obey Him, Keep Seeking Him every day to show you how to clean your robes. He is the only one who can help you get clean and stay clean.
And absolutely and vigilantly do NOT compare yourself with others. That is pride and will lead you to fall. Be humble and pray and love others who you see are bound in sins. Always remember, that you yourself need and depend on God’s grace every day.
