Whether we think about it or not, all of us will one day face the reality of death. Because death is a certainty, a wise person will prepare for it. In order to do that, we must know five truths that the Bible says:

I. All Men Are Sinners

Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

The fact is, all are sinners in the sight of God. Some have sinned more and some have sinned less -- but ALL have sinned!

II. Penalty Of Sin Is Death

Rom 6:23, For the wages of sin is death

Sin must be paid for -- and the Bible declares that the price is death. The Bible teaches that there are two deaths: the physical and the spiritual death.

Revelation 21:8,and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Just as physical death is separation of body from soul, spiritual death is eternal separation from God in hell -- which the Bible describes as a place of eternal fire, sufferings and torments.

III. Our Sin Debt Has Been Paid

Romans 5:8,But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Because of Gods love, Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross, died, was buried and rose again the third day. He paid the penalty for our sins that we must pay in Hell. This is the only way for us not to suffer in Hell. This proves that salvation cannot be attained by man by himself, but only by the grace of God.

Romans 6:23,For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

IV. Real Salvation Is In Jesus Christ Alone

John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:13,For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God is willing to forgive you if you will just trust Him as your Lord and Personal Saviour. Ask Him now to save you by sincerely praying from your heart:

Dear God, I accept that I am a sinner who deserves to pay the penalty of my sin in hell. But I trust that Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross to pay for my sins, and that He arose again on the third day. And now, I ask Him to come into my heart and be my Lord and Personal Saviour. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

V. You Are Now Eternally Secured

Romans 8:1,There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, ...

I John 5:13,These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

John 10:28,And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 1:12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 8:17, And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; ...

After you accepted Christ in your heart, you became a part of Gods family and an heir of His righteousness. The salvation that you received can never be lost. You are now part of the family of God.
