The Bible says you can... example:
1John 5:11-13 "I've written this to those who believe in the Son of God so that they will know that they have eternal life."
We know one thing, this body that we are trying to prolong and protect with insurance will ultimately deteriorate and die. The Bible says that each of us are in these bodies for a purpose. Do you know what your purpose is? Would you like to have this kind of peace; the kind of "peace" that passes all understanding?
Suppose you died today and stood before God and He asked you, "Why should I let you into my Heaven?" What would you say?
According to the bible, there is only one correct answer.
Do you know what that answer is? Here is what the bible
says:
1. All of us are sinners and have come short of what God requires.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of
God."
That is the real problem, isn't it? You, me and everyone have sinned. In God's
eyes there is no sin bigger than another. We compare ourselves against other
people, so that we can say that our sin is not as bad as the next person... but
each of us must meet God one day. Hebrews 9:27 says, "It is appointed
unto man once to die and then the judgment."
Compared to God's perfect holiness, even the purest person that you can think
of: the Pope, Billy Graham, or Mother Theresa sinned many, many times each and
every day of their lives.
Even if we only sin 3 times per day X 365 days per year, that is over 25, 000
sins in only 25 years. What would a judge do if you stood before him with 25, 000
crimes? Even if they were just 25, 000 parking tickets?
2. There is a penalty or "wage" for sin.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death"
If you worked 40 hours a week, what do you expect on payday? Wages, right?
God is not only a good God, or a gracious God, He is also a JUST God. Sin must
be punished.
3. Jesus Christ has ALREADY paid the penalty for your sins.
Romans 5:8 "But God proves His own love for us in that while we were
still sinners Christ died for us!"
Hold a book in your left hand, one as big as a phone book. Pretend that
it is all of the sins that you have committed in your life. Now hold your other
hand higher up in the air. You see God is up here in the top, right hand and we
are down here in the bottom, left hand - weighed down by our sins. We cannot be
good enough to get to God on our own. Therefore, He gave up his omniscience,
omnipotence, etc. and became a baby, lived a life like us with all the temptations
that we suffer, except He did not sin. Then, even though he had not sinned, He
took all of our sins upon Himself, once for all. (Now put the book in the other
hand and raise your left hand... Get the picture?) This made us free to go to
Heaven with God.
4. If you would ask Jesus to save you and trust his
payment on the cross as your only hope for heaven, you will have
your ETERNAL
LIFE INSURANCE POLICY!
Romans 10:8-13 "The message is near you, in your mouth and in your
heart. This is the message of faith that we proclaim.. if you confess with your
mouth, "Jesus is Lord, " and believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in
righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation. Now the
Scripture says, No one who believes on Him will be put to shame, for there is no
distinction between Jew and Non-Jew, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who
call on Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
The Bible says that we are born physically into into this world, but not spiritually. To be born spiritually, we must receive this from Jesus. If you accept this free gift, you will never die. So even though your physical body will deteriorate and die, you will immediately be with Jesus in paradise and will never die again.
John
3:3-6 Jesus replied, “ I
assure you: Unless someone is born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
“But how can anyone be born when he is old?” Nicodemus
asked Him. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born?”
Jesus answered, “I assure you:
Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of
God. Whatever is born of the flesh is
flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit."

Act now! Don't wait until you have your life in order. You don't clean yourself up before you take a
bath, do you? No, you take the bath to become
clean.
Let me ask you a question, is there anything that would keep you from
asking Jesus to save you, to make you alive spiritually and to give you eternal life
right now?
If not, then it is as easy as praying a simple prayer, something like this:
Dear Lord Jesus... I admit that I am
a sinner... and I believe that you died for me... and that you are alive right now...
I ask you to forgive me... and save me... I give you my life... I accept you as
my Lord and Savior... thank you Lord Jesus for paying my debt so that I may have
eternal life with you.
THAT IS IT! Like Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished"!
You
are a new creation and if you just prayed that prayer and truly meant it, all the angels in heaven
are rejoicing
You have now made the most important decision of your life. Your life will not be the
same.
Assurance:
This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is found in his Son. The person who has the Son has this life. The person who doesn't have the Son of God doesn't have this life. I've written this to those who believe in the Son of God so that they will know that they have eternal life. 1John 5:11-13
If you just prayed this prayer, please respond and tell us so that we can
rejoice with you and God. Also, get a bible and read it. (If you email us, we
will send you a bible) Read and learn the bible for yourself, do
not just take our or anyone else's word for what it says. Spend
time with God in His word and in prayer daily and find a bible
teaching church and start hanging out with other believers. You
are now part of His family, an adopted and loved son or
daughter.
