In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

These are the saddest words in the world. Jesus said there are MANY who think they are going to Heaven but sadly will end up in Hell.

II Corinthians 13:5a says "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith."

John 17:3 says, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." Jesus said eternal life is KNOWING God. Do you KNOW Him? Are you sure?

Here is how you can know for sure.

God desires every man, woman and child to be a part of His everlasting family. In His Word, He shows us how this can be possible.

God Loves You
"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." John 3:16

Your Sin Has Separated You From God
"...your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you..." Isaiah 59:2

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

Man Cannot Save Himself
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done..." Titus 3:5a

Jesus Christ Is our Only Remedy For Sin
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"...Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God..." I Peter 3:18a

You Must Personally Receive Christ As Your Lord and Savior

• Repent - Turn from your sin to God.
• Receive - Put your trust in Christ to save you.

"...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

"...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3b
