I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except
through me.

If you were to die today, where would you spend eternality? Most
people think they are going to heaven. But how can you be sure?
Many think that if they are a good person, they will go to heaven.
If that were the case, then Jesus wouldn't have had to die on the
cross.
Many think that going to church qualifies them into going to heaven.
Satan's in our churches too prowling amongst our services to hinder
people from worshiping God. Satan knows the Bible better than any
living man and he has something a lot of Christians don't have -
he has the fear of God in Him. But Satan isn't going to heaven,
so what makes it certain that you will be going to heaven? So you
pay tithes...so did the Pharisees. You may be able to buy your way
into a lot of places, but you won't be able to buy your way into
heaven.
God makes it very clear to us on what is required to spend eternality
with Him. His plan of salvation for us is found right in the Bible.
The following plan of salvation is taken from the New Living Bible.
The salvation plan is also available in the King
James Version.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning the
Word already existed. He was with God and he was God. He was in
the beginning with God. He created everything there is.

Born Of A Virgin |
| |
|
Luke 1:26-35 In the sixth month
of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth,
a village in Galilee, [27] to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged
to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. [28]
Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Greetings, favored woman!
The Lord is with you!" [29] Confused and disturbed, Mary tried
to think what the angel could mean. [30] "Don't be afraid, Mary,"
the angel told her, "for God has decided to bless you! [31] You
will become pregnant and have a son, and you are to name him Jesus.
[32] He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most
High. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
[33] And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never
end!" [34] Mary asked the angel, "But how can I have a baby?
I am a virgin". [35] The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit
will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will over shadow
you. So the baby born to you will be holy, and he will be called the
Son of God." |

Philippians 2:5-11 Your attitude should be the same that
Christ Jesus had. [6] Though he was God, he did not demand and cling
to his rights as God. [7] He made himself nothing; he took the humble
position of a slave and appeared in human form. [8] And in human form
he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death
on a cross. [9] Because of this, God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, [10]
so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on
earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue will confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |

or plan - this rebirth comes from God.

religious are really godly. They may refer to me as 'Lord' but they

2 Timothy 3:15-16 You have been taught the holy Scriptures
from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the
salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. [16] All Scripture
is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to
make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out
and teaches us to do what is right.
John 3:3, 6 Jesus replied, I assure
you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of

it. [18]
There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who
do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the
only Son of God.

Matthew 3:13-15 Then Jesus went from Galilee
to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. [14] But John didn't want
to baptize him. "I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,"

It must be done, because we must do everything
that is right. So then John baptized him.
Acts 2:38 Each of you must turn from your sins and turn
to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness

the people of Israel that he was healed in the name and power of
Jesus Christ from Nazareth, the man you crucified, but who God raised
from the dead. [11] For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures,

recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later
will be in you.

how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.
Acts 2:1-4 On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after Jesus'
resurrection, the believers were meeting together in one place.
[2] Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of
a mighty windstorm in the skies above them, and it filled the house
when they were meeting. [3] Then, what looked liked flames or tongues
of fire appeared and settled on each of them. [4] And everyone present
was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages,
as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
Acts 19:2-6 "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you
believed?" he asked them. "No" they replied, "we

Holy Spirit." [3] Then what baptism did you experience?"
he asked. And they replied, "the baptism of John." [4]
Paul said, "John's baptism was to demonstrate a desire to turn
from sin and turn to God. John himself told the people to believe
in Jesus, the one John said would come later." [5] As soon
as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
[6] Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came
on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied.

continue to live in Christ.

you are standing there.

Galatians 1:3-9 May grace and peace be yours
from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [4] He died for
our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from
this evil world in which we live. [5] That is why all glory belongs
to God through all the ages of eternity. Amen. [6] I am shocked that
you are turning away so soon from God, who in his love and mercy called
you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ. You are already
following a different way [7] that pretends to be the Good News but
is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who twist
and change the truth concerning Christ. [8] Let God's curse fall upon
anyone, including myself, who preaches any other message than the
one we told you about. Even if an angel comes from heaven and preaches
any other message, let him be forever cursed. [9] I will say it again:
If anyone preaches any other gospel than the one you welcomed, let
God's curse fall upon that person.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 And God will provide rest for you
who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears
from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels [8] in flaming
fire, bringing judgment on those who don't know God and on those
who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. [9] They will
be punished with everlasting destruction, forever separated from
the Lord and from his glorious power [10] when he comes to receive
glory and praise from his holy people. And you will be among those
praising him on that day, for you believed what we testified about
him.
1 Peter 1:22-25 Now you can have sincere love for each other
as brothers and sisters because you were cleansed from your sins
when you accepted the truth of the Good News. So see to it that
you really do love each other intensely with all your hearts. [23]
For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your
earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death.
But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal,
living word of God. [24] As the prophet says, "People are like
grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty
of wildflowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall away. [25]
But the word of the Lord will last forever." And that word
is the Good News that was preached to you.
1 Thessalonians. 1:10 And they speak of how you are looking
forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven - Jesus - whom God
raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the
terrors of the coming judgment.
Revelation 1:18 I am the living one
who died. Look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys
of death and the grave.
1 Peter 4:17, 18 For the time has come for judgment, and
it must begin first among God's own children. And if even we Christians
must be judged, what terrible fate awaits those who have never believed
God's God News? [18] And "If the righteous are barely saved,
what chance will the godless and sinners have?"
James 1:21-25 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your
lives, and humbly accept the message God has planted in your hearts,
for it is strong enough to save your souls. [22] And remember, it
is a message to obey, not just to listen to. If you don't obey,
you are only fooling yourself. [23] For if you just listen and don't
obey, it is like looking at your face in a mirror but doing nothing
to improve your appearance. [24] You see yourself, walk away, and
forget what you look like. [25] But if you keep looking steadily
into God's perfect law - the law that sets you free - and if you
do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless
you for doing it.
