Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross his blood is our salvation to an eternity with God if we just accept him!

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.1 Peter 1:18-21

I was reading an article about where will YOU spend eternity, and it really hit my heart! God wants us to come home with him and he gave us his son so we could IF we accept Jesus! When I think about eternity it doesn't really click in my brain how long that really is. I worry about today and maybe tomorrow, but thinking about forever is just mind blowing. I need to take the time to remember what is important in my life God, Jesus, my husband, and my daughter! We all get wrapped up in the worlds wants that we forget about what is important our life with God! God has no beginning or end. He just IS! Always has been and always will be!

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Pslams 90:2 

Eternity to man is different though. God gave man a soul,flesh, and a spirit. And when a man dies this is what happens to his spirit. 

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.Ecclesiastes 12:7

But what about your soul? Your soul is in your hands! You decide where it goes! If you are sinful and unrighteous your soul can not come in the presence of the lord! 

Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.Isaiah 59:1

You can't take away the stains of your sin we are all filthy! 

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

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."Isaiah 64:6

 God tells us that our punishment for being sinful is the death of our soul. Our soul doesn't mean our body once you are dead your body means nothing. Your soul on the other hand does! If you do not accept Jesus and go to be with him in God you will spend an ETERNITY in a lake of fire! 

"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."  John 3:16

Perish means being separated from God forever! Where will you go you ask? 

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.Matthew 25:41-46

I can not imagine the pain and awfulness of hell! It is worse then any pain imaginable. Nothing can really describe it. I don't want to go Hell!

 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:44

God does NOT want us to go to hell! But he has no choice to send us there if we do not stop our evil ways! 

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"Ezekiel 33:11

How is it possible not to go to Hell? By the shedding of blood.

 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." Hebrews 9:22

Long ago priests would bring sacrifices to the  very holy place called the Holy of Holies to offer a sacrifice to God on behalf of the people because of their sin. He had to do this very often. 

But because of our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is perfect he sacrificed his life ONCE for all of us! 

"Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26: For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."Hebrews 9:25 

He has made it possible for you to be reconciled to God!

"For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."Romans 5:10

God loves us so much even though we are sinful and wicked that he gave his ONLY son for us! As a mother I've pondered that thought so much, and his love for you and I that he gave his son! Someone that says God doesn't care or love us is just a fool! He loves us so much!None of us even give God the love he deserves and he loves us anyway! 

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.1 John 4:10

"And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."1 John 2:2

God wants us to be white as snow even though we are not...

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool Isaiah 1:18

How do we become white as snow? By accepting Jesus! It's that simple!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me John 14:6 

Jesus is the only way to reconcile and connect with God! Many verses state that having faith in his son Jesus Christ that we maybe cleansed of our sins!

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 3:22-26

We only have salvation through faith in Jesus! The law no longer is what gets you to heaven. 

Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:Romans 5:1

The jailer asked Paul what he must do to be saved, and Paul told him:

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:31

God is calling you if you just listen and open your heart Jesus accept his blood for your sins! If you feel like nothing you do can save you from your sins accept Jesus he is the only way to be saved! Don't ignore God he is listening and watching us all. He knows everything we do. He wants us to come home! Let's pray to him to forgive us through Jesus's blood that we know he is our savior!

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9: 27:28

 

Don't die and have to face God with the guilt of your sin. Won't you let Him make you free today?  I want to spend eternity with God and Jesus! Lets accept Jesus and go to heaven! 

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Philippians 3:20-21 Amen!
