THE PROMISE
With anticipation, every believing child of God should look forward to that day when we
shall be in heaven together with our Savior.
There is one question, then, that you need to answer. If you were to die tonight, where
would you go? Would your soul enter heaven or hell? And if you came to heaven, why should
God permit you to enter? Remember God demands perfection in your life. He said, "You
shall be perfect for I the Lord your God am perfect." What does God see in your life?
He sees sin. God warns us, "The soul that sins shall die." Many people deny that
they are sinners. They try to save themselves by boasting, "I am better than others.
I try to do what is right." But God tells us, "By the deeds of the law, there
shall no man be justified," or forgiven. What can you do? God has done everything for
your salvation. God saves you through Jesus Christ. Jesus came "to seek and to save
those who are lost." Jesus died for you on the cross bearing your punishment. Now God
declares you righteous for Christ's sake. God's promise to you is, "BELIEVE IN THE
LORD JESUS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED."

CHAPTER SEVEN IN YOUR BIBLE.
PRAYER -
Dear God, in your Word you teach me many things. I learn that I am a sinner. I know that I
need a savior. You have shown me Jesus Christ. He is my Savior. I ask you to open my heart
and mind. May I always believe in Jesus Christ. Through him lead me to eternal life in
heaven. In Jesus' name I ask this. Amen.
