STEPS TO PEACE

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Faith?

In Your Personal Opinion,

What do You Understand it Takes for a Person to go to Heaven?

May we share with you how the Bible answers this question? 

It all begins with this word F.A.I.T.H.

F is for Forgiveness

 We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.

 In Him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,

 Eph 1:7a NKJV

A is for Available

 Forgiveness is available. It is available for ALL

 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him

 should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 NKJV

I is for Impossible

 It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven

 GOD is...

 LOVE (John 3:16 NKJV)

 JUST “For judgment is without mercy” James 2: 13a NKJV

 MAN IS SINFUL “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” 

                 Romans 3:23 NKJV

Question: But how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin?

T is for Turn

Question: If you were driving down the road and someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (change direction)

 Turn means repent. TURN from something - sin and self

 “But unless you repent you will all likewise perish” Luke 13:3b NKJV

 TURN to Someone; trust Christ only

 (The Bible tell us that) “Christ died for our sins according to the

        Scriptures; and that He was buried, and the He rose again the third day

 according to the Scriptures” 1 Cor 15:3b-4 NKJV

 “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart

 that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Rom 10:9 NKJV

H if for Heaven

 Heaven is eternal life.

 HERE “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have

  it more abundantly” John 10:10b NKJV

 HEREAFTER “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and

          receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be

          also”  John 14:3 NKJV

 HOW How can a person have God’s forgiveness, heaven and eternal

      life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?

F.A.I.T.H.

FORSAKING ALL I TRUST HIM

Understanding what we have just shared, would you like to receive this       forgiveness by trusting in Christ as your personal Savior and Lord?
