A LIFE WITHOUT CHRIST Very soon we shall all stand before the throne of God to give an account on how

we lived our lives here on earth. You may say No time now to study my Bible, no time to pray, no time to go to church, no time to live a holy and righteous life but a day is coming when you will so desire to live a holy and righteous life but it will be too late. what shall it profit you if you gain the whole world and lost your precious soul in hell fire. The Bible says But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2Peter 3:10 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 2Peter 3:12. Though you accumulate trillions of naira in different banks all over the world, you may have transport vehicles all over the world, you may have great estates in all the cities/states in the world; if you do not have Jesus, it is just a waste. Peter said in 2Peter 3:10,12 the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. What is after acquiring everything on earth without salvation then Jesus comes and you open your eyes and watch all youve been accumulating just melt away and you are just left like that what will you do? When the door of heaven has been shut and all that you have gone and you are just left with the cloth you put on. When you no longer have money, house not even a bicycle to ride on and you go to hell. What is the gain? A life without Christ is a hopeless end but A life with Christ is an endless hope. Chose you this day where you want to spend eternity: in heaven or in hell?. Following Jesus today will be the best decision you will ever make. Isnt it better if you have money and then you are saved so that when this life is over and then every earthly things melts away you continue with a better life in Heaven?. Set you affection on things above not on things on the earth!. [/b]There is only one way to God the Father, one way to having eternal life and that is Jesus. He is ready to save those who are lost. Dont let anyone deceive you that it isnt possible to live in this life where there is sin and corruption everywhere without sinning. Jesus has purchased our salvation and has redeemed us from the kingdom of darkness into his marvelous light on the cross and has given us the power to live above sin. Jesus is still searching for a sincere man, woman, boy or girl who will accept Him[b] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Re 3:20. Four Simple Steps to Salvation 1. Recognise, accept and confess that you are a sinner and hopelessly lost without God (Romans 3:12,23). That should not take long for you to accept. If you are sincere, you will realise that you have, on several occasions seen yourself in wrong moods, feelings, desires, motives, actions, etc. We have all been sinners. And between you and God you accept and confess yourself lost. 2. Accept and believe the good news that God sent Jesus Christ to take your place, die in your stead, and pay the full penalty for your own sins (Romans 5. He also was buried, but He resurrected, and is alive forever to be your Advocate before God (1Corinthians 15:1-5; 1 John 2:1,2; Hebrews 7:25). 3. Now rely on God's promises, not upon your own feelings or theories. Only sincerely confess your sins, promising God to live right and believe you are forgiven according to His Promise (John 3:16; Romans 3:25; Ephesians 2:8,9; 1 John 1:9).

4. Declare and realise that you are saved by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ and the gospel, and that you are forgiven by God and cleansed from all sins because you have met the conditions of God which are: (a) proper faith (b) confessions of sins (c) repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ. What has happened to you now is known as conversion or salvation or the New-Birth experience. Your life will now be new. "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
