Let us go back to the Bible. As God tells us in I
Peter 4:11, "If anyone speaks,
let him speak as the oracles of God." In other words, we
are to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is
silent. We must call Bible things by Bible names and do Bible things
in Bible ways. We will not be wrong in doing this. To do this we must
get rid of all the manuals, creeds, disciplines, and confessions that
men have written and follow only what we can read in the Bible, because
the Bible is our only guidebook to heaven.
We must dust our Bibles off and start studying them for ourselves. We
must stop taking someone else's word for what it says and find
out for ourselves what God is trying to tell us, if we will only listen
to God. This is very important, for God says in Hosea
4:6, "My people are destroyed
for a lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I also
will reject you." It is a very serious matter to be rejected
of God because we did not care enough about what God is saying to us
in His Word to read and study it for ourselves. Instead, we have taken
someone else's word over God's Word. This is the reason we have so many
different kinds of churches today. It is not good enough to be religious,
but we must be right religiously. Everything we do must be according
to God's word in the Bible. We will not make it to heaven by following
guidebooks which men have written. Please don't think less of me for
trying to point you to what the scriptures say concerning our salvation.
As the apostle Paul says in Galatians 4:16,
"Have I therefore become your enemy
because I tell you the truth?" In am only wishing
the best for you.
In closing, we ask the question again. Are
You Really Sure Of Your Eternal Salvation? If you have seen from
the scriptures that have been pointed out in this course or from your
further study of the Bible that you have not done all the will of God
and only the will of God, so that you can go to heaven, then please
make those changes now so that your salvation can be assured. We are
told in Amos 4:12, "Prepare
to meet your God." On the Day of Judgment we will be either
prepared or unprepared. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
What are your plans for eternity? Are you going to be spending
eternity in Heaven or in Hell. The choice is yours. Remember
that only few will go to Heaven but the majority will go to Hell.
This great responsibility rests upon each of us.
If you are not prepared to go to heaven, then make things right now.
Don't put it off. Satan wants you to put it off. Satan works on all
of us all of the time. He does not want us to change for the better.
He wants our company in hell. He will do anything and everything to
get us there. Do not allow anyone to explain away what you can read
in the Bible that God wants you to do. We must take God seriously, because
God is serious in what he is telling us in his word. Ecclesiastes
12:13 (KJV) sums up everything quite well when it says: "Let
us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments
for this is the whole duty of man."
We have tried to be open and honest with you. If you have any questions
concerning the things discussed in this course or any other Bible
questions please let us know. We would also like your input as to
what you think of this course. Please feel free to contact
us anytime.
If you were to die today, do you know for sure, without a doubt, that
you would go to heaven? Remember most people will not go to heaven,
Matthew 7:13-14. Do you believe
in God and Christ? I am sure you do. Are you willing to repent
of your sins and confess that
you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? Will you be
baptized (immersed) for the remission of your sins so you can
be saved? Then the Lord will add you to His church, the church of Christ,
where we can worship Him faithfully until death when we will receive
the crown of life in heaven.
1) Do you want to go to heaven?
2) Have you been saved the Lord's way as specified in the Bible?
3) Have you been baptized for the remission of your sins?
4) Were you baptized in order to be saved?
5) Did your baptism put you into Christ where all spiritual blessings
are such as: salvation, forgiveness of sins and eternal life?
6) Do you wear only the name Christian?
7) Are you really sure of your eternal salvation?
If we can help you to become a Christian or to locate
the church of Christ in your area or study with you further over
the internet, please contact us directly.
