God is love. He created mankind to have a relationship with Him and everything was very good – until Adam and Eve disobeyed Him and sinned. The consequence of that rebellion was severe: the entire human race was separated from God because all became sinners, born with a sin nature. And like the first man and woman, all of us do things that are wrong and fall short of God’s holy standard. But even though man’s relationship with the Creator was ruined, God set about with a plan to provide a way back: as soon as Adam and Eve had sinned, God pronounced that He would send a Saviour. And so God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life on the cross to pay for our sins. He died in our place so that we may have eternal life in heaven with Him. All we need to do is accept this free gift by faith. The offer is waiting for you—don’t reject it. God says, “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) And the Bible also states that “God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) One of Jesus’ many names is Immanuel, which means God with us. It means that God became flesh, born of a virgin. He alone could lead a life without sin so that He could die as the perfect sacrifice for sin. He shed His blood so that we may be pardoned and have eternal life. Christ paid a debt He didn’t owe because You have a debt that you can’t pay “For Christ died for sins, once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God.” (1 Peter 3:18) And then God raised Him from the grave and sat Him at His right hand. Jesus Christ is alive today and is both willing and able to forgive the sins of all who come to Him and ask. JESUS HAS DONE IT ALL He has done everything that is required for you to be forgiven. All you need to do is to accept His free offer by faith. This is important because there is nothing you can do on your own to get to heaven… Being a good person and doing good deeds, whilst commendable, can never replace Christ’s death on the cross for you. Only God’s way will get you there, and that way is Jesus Christ. Only He can bridge the gap between God and mankind; that gap which was created by sin. That is why Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6) Sadly, not everyone will accept God’s gift of eternal life, and many souls will spend eternity in hell instead of heaven. Don’t be fooled—hell is real! It was created for the devil and his demons, but it is also the destiny of every human being who rejects God’s pardon. God loves you, yet He is also a God of justice. He takes no pleasure in sending people to hell, but if you die without having your sins forgiven, God’s justice demands that YOU PAY the penalty for YOUR SINS.

God’s justice is fully satisfied by Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on your behalf. Putting your faith in Him is the only way you can be saved from an eternity in hell.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Tract where will you spend eternity a4

God is love. He created mankind to have a relationship with Him and everything was very good – until Adam and Eve disobeyed Him and sinned.

The consequence of that rebellion was severe: the entire human race was separated from God because all became sinners, born with a sin nature. And like the first man and woman, all of us do things that are wrong and fall short of God’s holy standard. 

But even though man’s relationship with the Creator was ruined, God set about with a plan to provide a way back: as soon as Adam and Eve had sinned, God pronounced that He would send a Saviour.

And so God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life on the cross to pay for our sins. He died in our place so that we may have eternal life in heaven with Him. All we need to do is accept this free gift by faith. The offer is waiting for you—don’t reject it.

God says, “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) And the Bible also states that “God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

One of Jesus’ many names is Immanuel, which means God with us. It means that God became flesh, born of a virgin. He alone could lead a life without sin so that He could die as the perfect sacrifice for sin. He shed His blood so that we may be pardoned and have eternal life.

Christ paid a debt He didn’t owe because You have a debt that you can’t pay

“For Christ died for sins, once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God.” (1 Peter 3:18)

And then God raised Him from the grave and sat Him at His right hand. Jesus Christ is alive today and is both willing and able to forgive the sins of all who come to Him and ask.

JESUS HAS DONE IT ALL

He has done everything that is required for you to be forgiven. All you need to do is to accept His free offer by faith.

This is important because there is nothing you can do on your own to get to heaven… Being a good person and doing good deeds, whilst commendable, can never replace Christ’s death on the cross for you.

Only God’s way will get you there, and that way is Jesus Christ. Only He can bridge the gap between God and mankind; that gap which was created by sin.

That is why Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)

Sadly, not everyone will accept God’s gift of eternal life, and many souls will spend eternity in hell instead of heaven. Don’t be fooled—hell is real! It was created for the devil and his demons, but it is also the destiny of every human being who rejects God’s pardon.

God loves you, yet He is also a God of justice. He takes no pleasure in sending people to hell, but if you die without having your sins forgiven, God’s justice demands that YOU PAY the penalty for YOUR SINS.

But because God is love and He wants to set you free, He has provided a rescue package. His love and mercy are available to all who truly believe. God’s justice is fully satisfied by Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on your behalf. Putting your faith in Him is the only way you can be saved from an eternity in hell.

And if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you will not only spend eternity with Him in heaven but also have His support while still here on earth. He will be with you through the storms of life as a loving Father whom you can trust with all your cares. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

Salvation is a free gift from God But you must humble yourself and ask for it!

CHANGE YOUR PATH — START A NEW LIFE Secure your future!

• Acknowledge that you are a sinner who is separated from God, and that you need Jesus as your Saviour and Lord.

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” (1 John 1:8-9)

• Believe that Jesus died for your sins, that He has the power to save you from eternal death in hell, and that He rose again and is alive forevermore.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Your destiny is your choice!

Will it be HEAVEN or HELL?

It all depends on how you respond to Jesus...

There is a prayer guide for you on the next page, suggesting what you could say when turning to Jesus in faith.

Page 2: Tract where will you spend eternity a4

If you feel convicted deep in your soul that your sins have offended God, and you truly wish to be forgiven, then turn to Him right now. Don’t put it off! Ask Him to pardon you and save your soul from hell.

USE THE FOLLOWING PRAYER AS A GUIDE

Almighty God,

I realise that I am a sinner and hopelessly lost...

I am truly sorry; please forgive me!

Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me!

Add whatever else comes to mind...

If you have prayed this prayer and have experienced the burden of sin lifted from your soul, YOU WILL KNOW that you have been born again as a child of God.

Your next step should be to find a Bible believing church where you can worship your Heavenly Father, learn more about Him, grow in Christ and fellowship with other Christians.

Earnestly desire to be baptised by full immersion as soon as possible because Jesus commanded it (Matthew 28:19). It is the outward confession of your inward faith.

Trust God, read His Word (the Bible) and talk to Him daily in prayer. He will guide you and help you to live your life for Him.

If you need help with any of this, please contact us. Details are on the back page.

We hope to meet you in eternity!
