WHAT IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE?
On
What if you had been there when Katrina hit?
What if you were one of the thousands that perished in Katrina’s wake?
Would you have been prepared to stand before God?
The Bible says,
“And it is appointed unto men once to
die, but after this the judgment:”
At that judgment, you would have gone to Heaven forever…or to Hell forever. There is no purgatory. There is no in between. If you had died on August 29th, do you know for sure that you would have gone to Heaven? To be sure that you are going to Heaven when you die, you must know four things…
You are a sinner.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” From
lying to murder, everyone is guilty of doing something wrong. (Rev. 21:8)
The payment for sin is death. That’s right. We die because of sin. “For the wages of sin is death;” When a person dies without Christ, they go to Hell. BUT when a person dies with Jesus Christ inside their heart, they go to Heaven!
Jesus Christ died to pay the payment for your sin. ”…but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. Spending forever in Hell is a very hard thing to imagine. God hates sin that much, BUT, God loves the sinner! That’s why God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for your sin. That was the only payment that would satisfy God. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish (Hell) but have everlasting life (Heaven)”. Jesus Christ died for your sin so that you would not have to go to hell! “But God commendeth his love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
You must ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sin. He died for you, He made your payment for sin, and He wants you to be in Heaven forever. BUT you must believe on Him, and you must ask for His forgiveness. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
God promises to forgive and give you everlasting
life! If you had died with Christ inside
your heart when Hurricane Katrina hit, you would have gone to Heaven.
Without Him, you would have gone to Hell.
Is Jesus Christ inside your heart?
Have you asked His forgiveness of your sins?
If not, please pray this simple prayer and mean it with all your heart…
“Lord Jesus, I know
that I am a sinner. If I had died in the
Hurricane I would be in Hell. I believe
that you died for my sins so that I can go to Heaven.
Please forgive me of my sins and take me to Heaven when I die.
I trust you now as my Lord and Saviour.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!”

Saviour, we want to send you a free Bible study to help strengthen the New
