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 elseís
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:
A. Salvation,
B. Forgiveness of sins and
C. 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

area or study with you further over the internet, please
