No to Suicide

August 27, 2020
1AM

was awaken by a commercial like dream about suicide (w/ theatrics and all). it broke my heart. and it lead me to prayer.

suicide. a silent killer in every household. you think everything was okay then suddenly it attacks.

suicide has killed more people than sickness and war... every hour.. everyday... every year. 

possible causes: burn out, left alone/behind, identity crisis, not loved, depression, no real communication with people, dead end and many many more. 

when i was a kid, i was suicidal as well. i felt left behind, i felt like i have no real friends, no real conversation with people, felt lonely and sad, burnt out by the quarrel of my parents, burnt out by being bullied in school, no rest, no haven, life with no direction and no meaning, felt like i have no future in life at all.. and many many more.

the appeal of suicide was real

i drank one glass of rubbing alcohol, i attempted to stab self in front of children to have friends, i attempted to stab my self at my room as well, attempted to hang self and many more.. but at the end of the day.. the pain i endured due to the attempted suicide did not change anything.. it just hurt me more..

and worse.. if it succeeded, it is one way ticket to hell like judas did.. and that place is more torture than the pain on earth.. (but of course, back then before i attempt it, i dont know that)

as the person attempting suicide
"what can i do then?" 

*1) talk to people

i know its hard, we tried talking to people, but we felt like others would just laugh at us and won't listen nor understand what we are getting through.. 

there are also moments when we thought what people would say would be cliches. because others who have told us the same things did not help us at all.

but remember, there are those who does really care and are willing to listen and help.

don't be afraid to share your story especially to dear friends who will lead you to God. you can also call suicide hotlines to help you out or to Churches with right doctrines to help you out. 

"Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." -matthew 11:28

relationship and not religion. intimacy and not routines. real help and real rest comes from the Lord. it is not found in religion though, but in real and deep intimacy with God :) 

*2) listen

i know it is harder to listen. especially as our mind is clouded with emotions and pain. but listening also helps... 

...especially to godly friends. friends who will pray for you, lead you to God, be with you in pain. won't drink nor have cigarettes nor have cocaine with you tho, but will stick and listen and advice you any time... mouthpieces of God sharing His Love to you.. for God Loves you dearly

3) seek God and godly friends

i was suicidal since nursery up to college days.. and the only One Who rescued me is God. The One Who keep me all together all those years..

it is when i was in college, that i met friends who lead me to God... they stick with me in hard times and with their help, i was able to have a relationship with God through His Son Jesus and was understand His Word through the Holy Spirit. 

my view life changed then and i found TRUE rest in Him alone.

not booze, not cigarettes, not cocaine, not riches, not entertainment..

nothing in this world can give us rest and satisfaction. but God alone. not religion, not routines. but real 1 on 1 relationship with God and also fellowship with fellow believers. :)

 
~~~~~~~~~~

as the friend or relative of the person attempting suicide (whether you know it or not)

*1) listen and be sensitive

listening is a very important skill that most of us are not exercising or not doing well. most of us humans like to talk. but only few listens. 

listening quenches quarrel. and listening saves lives.

and when i say listen, it is not only auditory, but also listen to the persons movement, mannerisms, behavior, and what they are going through.. in other words.. be sensitive or have empathy.

if you know a friend or relative is tired at work, you don't nag nor curse or say bad words to that person. and if ever we did it mistakenly, don't be afraid to apologize and make it up to the person.

be careful tho. even when a person laugh or smiles, it does not necessarily mean they are okay or fine. at times, those who jokes a lot and smile a lot, are those who are not speaking up with problems in their heart. 

have a meaningful conversation with people. stop harsh jokes, stop trash talking, stop cursing/saying bad words.. you don't know if the stranger you are cursing or hurting is having a bad day or not. instead be a blessing.. instead, listen.

*2) apart from God we can't help them

our help alone is not enough to help them. we will be burn out as well. we need a lot of patience. and a lot of care. and the Only One Capable of unlimited patience, care, Love, and Grace is God

He is also the Only One Who can truly help inside out :) grow your relationship with God and lead your friend/relative or even a stranger to Him :)


*3) don't give up on them as God did not gave up on you

there are moments they won't listen, nor would they share.

nonetheless don't give up on them.

keep them in prayer. and be there always ready to listen and help when they need help :) 

never stop praying for them :) alone we can't, but with God, we can :) grow and keep going in God :)

28 (bente-otso)

=august 3, 2020=

=28 years old=

i'll try to keep this short :) [i have many things i want to say but i'll say only what is important :) you can comment down below for questions, clarifications, opinions, comments

or

for those who know me personally, PM me :)]

-MY STORY-
in my 28 years of life. since i was a kid. i lived in darkness, not because of the hardships i face, but because what i thought i know as right was not actually right.

even as a kid i was taught of many religious practices, superstitions and human morality [or what is right and wrong in human eyes].

sunday service. communion. rosary. saints sculptures/artifacts. all the religious stuff/practices. i was taught that we attend Church during sunday then what happens the rest of the week was fine as long as i confess my sin, ["God is loving and He forgives everything" or "pray 100 hail marys to be forgiven"] was taught that as long as i go to church and do good deeds i will go to Heaven. that all humans are children of God. was taught prayer and service as a routine [digging deeper is only for priest and pastor, a layman should just attend or come to church whenever and pray and thats it], taught stuff that was not in the Bible.  

jumping at the new year, eating 12 round fruits at new year, counting money at new year, feng shui, and many many more luck base teachings. was also taught that as long as i dont hurt others, whatever i do was right. [homosexuality was right, unforgiveness was right, passive aggresive was right, white lies were right, masterbation was right, porn was right, cursing or saying bad words was right. as long as i am not hurting others physically or verbally just to name a few] but in what basis? whose standard? human standard. i standard that is subjective or relative. standard that changes depending on who is who and what is what. standard that changes every year, every millennia. accepting what was wrong as right and what was right as wrong. no absolute truth. no black and white but just grey. that right and wrong was relative.

[but when i grow up i learned as i encountered God that most of these, if not all of these, was wrong.]

not saying that they intentionally teach me what was wrong. but they also thought it was all right as well. as the majority of human being believe it was right. 

in those 18 years of life. [until feb 2010] i claim i know God, that i love God. for it was what i was taught.

i remember being asked "have you received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savor?" back in 2008/2009. and i just answered "yes, since birth" because i thought i did. i go to Church, attend Bible study and sunday school since grade 6, read and memorized Bible verses [reading without understanding fully and truly but just superficial meaning], pray the rosary in my elementary years [my mother is roman catholic, father is methodist by religion], pray memorized prayers.. all the religious stuff.. but then later i found out that i did not truly know God yet until i encountered Him february 2010

then as i get to know God. everything change.

i learned that many of the things taught as religious stuff or way of worship or way to know God are not in the Bible (rosary, praying to saints and so on).

that the Bible, God's Word, is the only basis of Truth and is our users manual (2timothy3:16-17) and not human knowledge/standard, which is actually sin, an act of rebellion (romans1:18-32). 

that digging deeper into the Word of God is not only for priests, pastors or leaders but for every believer (acts2:42, matthew4:4, 2timothy3:16-17).

that meeting together as believers/fellowship is not only limited to sunday alone (acts2:46)

that our only basis of Salvation is faith in Jesus Christ alone and not our own deeds (ephesians2:8-9, john14:6, acts4:11-12, isaiah64:6). that only those who accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior are given the right to be children of God (john1:12). 

and many more 

Christianity is not a ritual. not a religion. but relationship, deep intimacy, with God.

-THE REASON FOR THIS SPECIFIC BLOG/ENTRY-

a wake up call. we are having relaxed lives here on earth that we forgot about Jesus' 2nd coming and the Final judgement. we forgot that we are all sinners in need of saving and that apart from Jesus, we are all doomed for hell. [most even do not believe about Heaven or hell] we become relaxed that we sin knowingly and unknowingly. unforgiveness. homosexuality. stealing. curse/bad/foul words. idolatry and many more sins we accept as right but is not truly right in God's standard [idolatry also includes having own defintion of who God is, making our own gods "...for me god is.." not accepting His own description about Himself. also romans1:18-32.] 

Life does not end here on earth or when we die. life continues in eternity. and there are only two destinations: Heaven or hell

we need a Savior and that is Jesus alone. ourselves can't save us. our good works can't save us. 

"...we are all infected and impure with sin.
    When we display our righteous deeds,
    they are nothing but filthy rags.
Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall,
    and our sins sweep us away like the wind..." isaiah64:6 [NLT]


we need Jesus. and only Jesus, to be saved. 

"...For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,

‘The stone that you builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.’[psalms118:22]

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved...” acts4:11-12 [NLT]

"..God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it..." ephesians2:8-9 [NLT]

Receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior is not the end. but the beginning. we should continually grow in our relationship with God. with fellow believers. with the right doctrine/statement of faith until He comes. and fulfill the great commission (matthew28:18-20), bringing many to God, saving more souls before the coming judgement. His 2nd coming is near. we don't know when exactly He will come. but He commands us not to decipher when [because only God knows when and not man nor angels], but, to be ready until He comes. 

"...You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected..." matthew24:44 [NLT]

Receiving Him is a must. NOW. for we don't know what tomorrow will bring nor when Jesus will come. we must be ready. receive Jesus NOW :)

and as it is written as well, troubles and tribulation will come before His 2nd coming. more worse than coid19. that is why we must be ready. be ever growing in Him and Him alone. AGAIN. we can't save ourselves. WE NEED JESUS :)

Blessings and Things to look forward for (things to capitalize on)

*will try to keep this short :)

Blessings amids COVID-19 

1] Family time (and friends): bonding time sa pamilya, lalo na at madalas nasa bahay lang and more time to make tawag ngayon dahol sa quarantine

2] New things and/or skills learned: bored sa bahay kasi walang magawa? may time ka na ngayon to start learning a new skill dahil dyan :)

3] Time to soak kay God and encounters with God: busy daw kaya walang time kay Lord, ngayon meron ka ng time :) know Him more :) and tulad nga ng Pangako ng ating Panginoon sa Jeremiah29:13, we will seek Him and find Him when we seek Him with all our hearts :) gusto Niya ring makipagbonding sa atin noon pa :) ngayon wala na tayong excuse kasi wala na tayong masyadong kinabibisihan :) soak in the Lord during and even after ECQ

Things to look forward for (and/or capitalize on)

1] Grow old and new bonds: maraming stock at home, mga taong need prayers and need help. yung mga di mo madalas makausap sa office or even mga friends na matagal mo ng di nakakausap, now is the time na makausap, makabonding online and grow the bond :)

2] Learn and grow in new things/skills: why stop in learning new skills lang, we can also enchance yung mga talents na meron na tayo, time rin para makapag exercise and makapag zumba :) more time para makamit ang fit body and healthy life style na inaasam-asam natin :)

3] Time to grow spiritual disciplines and grow kay God more (also to share the Gospel): marami ang aligaga, balisa, kelangan ng tulong at panalangin. it's time to reach out sa mga tao and also may oras narin tayo na hindi nag mamadlai pumasok sa office or school but have that unhurried time makipag usap kay God, devotion, Bible reading, and so on :) babad kay Lord at lakad with Lord :)

4] Mag ayos ng schedule: habang di pa hectic, pde na mag plano ng time table and schedule, para sa oras na naglift-up na ng ECQ eh di ka gulat sa rush time and also para hindi ma sa walang bahala ang lahat ng natutunan, and new habits and disciplines na nabuo during ECQ.

5] New beginning: learn from sa mga past mistakes, ECQ also opened a way na makita natin ang mga maling gawi natin. mapa gobyerno man yan, o mapa personal na buhay. simula sa mga sugal and bisyo na wala namang ambag sa personal na buhay natin hanggang sa mga pangongorakot, katiwalian at marami pang iba. naway makita natin itong oras na ito as an oppurtunity na magsimula ng matinong pamumuhay and end yung mga katiwalian and mga maling gawi. (can also be a start ng mas maayos na pamamalakad sa bawat syudad at bawat baranggay, learning (from current crisis) and preparing (sa mga susunod pa).

also, new life truly starts in knowing. accepting (as Lord and Savior) and growing (our relationship with God) in our Lord Jesus :) kasi sa Kanya lang talaga may totoo at ganap na buhay :) (john10:10, 2corinthians5:17)

sa lahat ng panahon, kahit sa panahon ng crisis, there is always a blessing to be thankful for and things to learn. lahat ng nasa mundong ito ay mawawala, pero ang Salita ng Diyos at Siya mismo ay walang hangganan (1john2:15-17)

habang buhay ka pa ay may oras pa, pwede mo pa Siyang matnggap bilang Panginoon at Tagapagligtas at matanggap ang Kanyang Regalo na buhay na walang hanggan, dahil ang Panginoong Hesus lang ang tunay na daan papuntang Langit (john14:6, romans6;23, romans5:8, acts4:11-12, romans3:23-24, ephesians2:8-9) ito ay personal na pagtanggap at hindi pwede gawin ng iba para sayo. walang purgatoryo, Langit lamang at impyerno, at walang dasal na makakaligtas sayo kapag patay ka na. kaya habang buhay ka pa ngayon, make that decision to accept Christ as Lord (meaning sinusunod) and Savior (pag tanggap natin na kailangan natin ng Tagapagligtas, dahil Siya (Hesus) lang at wala ng ibang makakapagligtas sa atin) :) 

have you made the decision? want to know God more? you can PM me at FB (mondy barez) and we can arrange an online connect group :)

habang may oras pa, habang buhay ka pa, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior :) dahil pag patay ka na, wala ng oras. walang purgatoryo, Langit o impyerno lang, at di lahat ng namamatay, sa Langit pumupunta, dahil si Hesus lang ang tunay na daan sa Langit at wala ng iba :) (ephesians2:8-9, acts4:11-12)

New Beginnings

Ngayon ay ika 4 ng abril. taon 2020

Isinulat ko ito para magbigay lakas loob, mag paalala at mag bigay payo sa mga tao. Ito ay para sa kapwa ko Pilipino


**1] Sa lahat. naway magsilbi pamulat sa ating lahat itong ganap na crisis. mahirap, mayaman, pulitiko, sindikato, at marami pang iba. sa lahat ng taon ng pangungurakot at pandadaya, pambibiktima at mga krimen na organizado.. tayo-tayo rin ang umani at nakawawa. walang mayaman sa harap ng krisis. bansa rin natin ang lulugmok dahil sa mga pansarili at malatalangkang kaisipan. 

Yung mga pondo ng bawat syudad na kinorakot ay nagamit sana bilang emergency funds ngayon o nagamit sana para ihanda at palaganapin ang medisina, ospital ng bawat syudad, agrikultura at iba pang infrastractura para sa ganitong mga sakunaa.

di natin pwedeng isisi lahat sa pangulo. dahil di niya hawak ang lahat ng tao sa ating bansa. may mga partidong against sa kanya. may mga patuloy na nangungurakot. at meron ding mga malalaking sindikato sa likod. ang pangulo mismo, ginagawa niya ang parte niya para matulungan ang bansa natin. di madali maging pangulo. pag nasa matuwid ka, gigisain ka ng mga sindikato at iba pang pulitiko na liko mag-isip.

sana itong krisis na ito eh maging daan na ang mga liko ay maging matuwid at tuluyang magbalik loob sa tamang landas. magbalik loob sa tamang daan sa mata ng Diyos.

sinasabi nating ang bansa natin ay nagmamahal at may takot sa Diyos. pero bakit tuloy parin ang mga likong daan.

imagine niyo nalang kung merong tunay na pagkakaisa at tunay na takot sa Diyos. walang sindikato. lahat ng pondo nagagamit sa tama. lahat may disiplina. hindi ba maganda?

kaya please. naway itong nagaganap ngayon na krisis ay maging daan para magbalik loob at sumunod tayong tunay sa Diyos. at tumalikod na sa ating mga likong daan.



**2] Sa mga sindikato, kriminal at mga kurakot. ang mga buhay na nakitil dahil sa inyong gawa. ay dugo sa inyong mga kamay.

ito ang panhon ng pagbabago. panahon ng pag babalik loob sa Diyos at pagtalikod sa maling daan. Ito ang panahon ng bagong simula. kaya kahit sa pagkatapos ng krisis, wag na kayo bumalik sa likong daan. tuloy tuloy na sa pag sunod at pagbalik sa Diyos.

Ang mga nakaw na yaman ay walang pupuntahan. at ang mga likong daan ay may kaparusahan. matakasan niyo man ang batas ng tao. pero ang Batas ng Diyos, hindi. mahal Niya kayo at nais Niya kayong magbagong buhay. kaya habang maaga pa. Ngayon, magbagong buhay na kayo. Ngayon palang magbagong buhay na kayo.

naway magsilbing aral ang ganap na krisis ngayon. magbalik na kayo sa tamang landas. magbalik loob na kayo sa Diyos   



**3] Muli. Sa lahat ng kapwa ko Pilipino. Magtulungan tayo. hindi lamang sa financial na tulong. pero pati narin sa pakikipag isa sa mga tamang gawin ngayon.

itigil na natin ang pamumulitika. itigil na natin ang wala sa lugar na mga rally. itigil na natin ang tigas ng ulo. pairalin natin ang pagkakaisa. pairalin natin ang pagbabayanihan. itigil na natin ang pagkuda na wala sa lugar. itigil natin ang fakenews. maging parte tayo ng solusyon at hindi ng problema.

simpleng pagsunod sa mga patakaran. simpleng pakikipagusap ng maayos. simpleng pag bigay donasyon at tulong. simpleng pagpapasalamat sa mga frontliners, army, LGUs at simpleng pagtulong sa kapwa na maibsan ang takot at pangamba. simpleng pagpapalabas ng mga tamang balita. at simpleng pagsunod at pagpapagamit sa Diyos.

kailangan natin mag tulungan at sa pag tutulungan lamang tayo magtatagumpay. lalo na kung makikipag-isa at makipag tulungan tayo ng tunay sa Diyos.

sanay ang pag kakaisa na ito'y mag tuloy-tuloy kahit sa pagkatapos ng krisis. at maging simula ng panibagong yugto ng ating bansa



**4] Tunay na Kaligtasan ay na kay Hesus lamang. marahil ang iba ay nagtataka bakit ko ito nasali. sa huling libro sa Bibliya, Revelations, nabanggit ang mga sakuna na magaganap. marahil isa ang krisis na ito sa mga una na sakunang nabanggit o marahil hindi. pero ito ay panahon ng kamulatan para sa ating lahat.

Tulad nga ng nsabi ko sa taas. karamihan sa ating pilipino ay kilala ang Diyos. pero hindi lahat sumusunod at may relasyon sa Diyos.

dahil kung meron tayong lahat ng tunay na relasyon sa Diyos. meron tayong disiplina, wala tayong utak talangka, meron tayong pagkaka-isa, titigil ang droga, titigil ang mga sindikato at krimen, walang mali at tiwaling pamamalakad. at marami pang iba.

marami sa atin iniisip na lahat ng namamatay ay pumupunta sa langit. at sa totoo lang, hindi po totoo yun.

liban kay Kristo, wala ng ibang daan patungo sa Langit (John14:6, Acts4:11-12). Hindi rin po sapat ang mabubuting gawa lamang para dalhin tayo sa Langit (Ephesians2:8-9, Romans3:23-24). si Hesus lang po talaga ang daan.

At sa pagtanggap natin sa Kanya bilang Panginoon (ibig sabihin ay sinusunod) at Tagapagligtas (dahil Siya lang talaga ang makakaligtas sa atin) ay simula ng pagkakaroon sa Kanya ng relasyon.

at kung meron talaga tayong relasyon sa Kanya, ay araw-araw natin Siyang susundin at ang relasyon na ito ay araw-araw din nating papalaganapin o palalalimin.

palalalimin sa pamamagitan ng pagbasa at pagsunod sa Kanyang Salita sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu (si Lord mismo) at kapwa tunay na mananampalataya (Tunay na Simbahang sumusunod sa Kanya. Ang Simbahan ay hindi ang gusali kundi ang kapatiran o pamilya ng mga mananampalataya)

tayo ay magbalikloob ngayon sa Diyos at lumago sa ating relasyon sa Kanya kahit sa pagtapos ng krisis. Gawin natin ito ngayon habang may panahon pa.


**5] Pagtatapos. Binigyan ako ng Diyos ng kasabikan sa aking puso sa pagtatapos ng krisis na ito. ang krisis na ito ay may kaakibat na biyaya. nandun na ang oras sa pamilya. andyan na rin ang oras at opurtunidad na matuto ng mga panibagong bagay. andyan narin ang opurtunidad na magkaroon ng bagong simula.

pag hindi natin ito nasayang. pwede magkaroon ng panibagong simula ang ating bansa.
 
1) TAMANG PANUNUNGKULAN NG MGA NASA KAPANGYARIHAN AT TAMANG PAKIKIISA NG MAYAYAMAN AT MAHIHIRAP,

2) PAGTALIKOD SA KASAMAAN AT LIKONG DAAN AT PAGBABALIK LOOB SA DIYOS,

3) PAGKAKAISA'T WALA NG PAGKAWATAK-WATAK, WALA NG UTAK TALANGKA,

4) PAGKAKAROON NG TUNAY NA RELASYON AT PAGSUNOD SA DIYOS,

naway hindi masayang ang panahong ito na tayo ay makapag-isip, makapagngilay-ngilay, balik tanaw, balik loob at mag simula ng panibagong simula :)

merong bagong yugto sa pagkatapos. handa ba tayong makipag-isa sa Diyos para dito?

New Season Coming

Get ready everyone for a new season is coming. God have spoken through His servant, Prophet Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, about a new season coming, a new ERA.(the new season is related to this passage: Joel 2:28-32) Not only for His church, not only for believers, but for EVERYONE. A new year in God's calendar. God have promised to give all of us a new NEW CLEAN PAGE in our book of life, which means HE WILL ERASE and FORGIVE ALL OUR PAST SINS. IF AND ONLY IF WE DO WHAT HE INSTRUCT US TO DO.He wants us to SEEK HIM LIKE WE HAVE NEVER SOUGHT HIM BEFORE, REPENT AND CONFESS our sins to Him, ALL unconfessed sins WOULD carry on to the next page, FIX broken relationships especially with people whom it seems its okay yet deep inside there is a problem or anger or hatred, FIX this relationships also the unfulfilled and broken vows, especially vows and relationship with God. all of his sins would carry on to the next page if we do not fix them. Pray to God that He may reveal to us what we need to confess on especially the sins we did not know we have committed, pray that he may reveal to you in what way you should seek Him, ask for His guidance not only during the ten days but also days after, continue on following, and obeying Him. God has a GREAT PLAN for ALL of us. follow Him, obey Him. All His teachings and commands should NOT BE ONLY HEAD KNOWLEDGE, if we really LOVE HIM. we will follow, obey and live His commands.




 "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen" 1 John 4:20

"The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked" 1 John 2:4-6

God have given us another chance to go to Him, to live with Him, He is ready to forgive our sins if we are also ready to repent, go t Him, repent, confess, and follow and obey Him, He is loving, yes, yet remember that He is also JUST and HOLY. He is our Savior but He is ALSO OUR LORD, GOD, AND KING. Repent and go back to Him.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened" -Matthew 7:7-8

God bless everyone.. take care.. together we are with God in this journey, Amen..

The Good News

a repost of a wonderful message of a friend of mine:



"What if YOU died tonight?

have you ever thought about it?
what would happen to you?
where would you go?
where would you spend eternity?
some would say we can't know for sure
others say they "hope" they will go to Heaven
but the Good News is
WE CAN KNOW!

That's right ... we CAN know, I KNOW
and I want to share with you how you too can KNOW

Do we have to go to a certain church? NO
Do we have to be baptized? NO
Do we have to follow a certain set of rules? NO
What if I am a "good person" ... will that do it? NO

All these things are nice, they are good things,
but they won't get us into Heaven!

Let's look at what God says .... after all, it's His Heaven
and He should be able to tell us how to get there,
wouldn't you agree?


God tells us in His Word, the Bible,
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23)
How many have sinned? ALL have sinned, that includes you! That means you have to realize and admit you are a sinner.

There is a penalty that must be paid for sin.
"For the wages of sin is death"
(Romans 6:23)

This death is called the second death and Revelation 21:8 tells us what it is and who will go.
"The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolators, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death"
The second death is eternal separation from God in a literal HELL!

We read the word murderers, and also liars. A person only has to murder once to be a murderer, as well as a liar only must lie once to be a liar. The above verse says ALL LIARS, that just above covers everyone.

So is there any hope for Heaven?
The answer is YES!!! This is the Good News!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8)

Jesus was the pure sacrifice who shed His blood to pay the sacrifice, before a holy God, for your sin and mine. He says ...

"I am the way, the truth and the life
no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
(John 14:6)
God wants to give you the gift of Eternal Life in Heaven.
There is nothing you can do to earn it, you don't deserve it, but
IT IS YOURS! All you have to do is accept it.

"But the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE
through Christ Jesus the Lord"
(Romans 6:23)
Why would God do that? Again, we find our answer in the Bible.
John 3:16-18
"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.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Accept God's FREE GIFT of salvation, believe that Jesus is Lord and ask Him to save you from sin and give you Eternal Life.
Romans 10:9-10, 13
"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.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Remember I said, you CAN know for sure, that is because God says ...

"These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life."
(1 John 5:13)
Call upon the Lord Jesus now in prayer. Tell Him that you believe that He is the Son of God and you believe that He died and rose from the dead for you, and that right now you want to receive Him into your life as your personal savior.
