FAITH
F IS FOR FORGIVENESS.
- We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness.
- In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace. _Ephesians 1:7
A IS FOR AVAILABLE.
- Forgiveness is available for all.
- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. _John 3:16
- But not automatic.
- Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. _Matthew 7:21
I IS FOR IMPOSSIBLE.
- It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
- Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgment is against sin.
- Because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. _James 2:13
- Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner.
- For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. _Romans 3:23
- But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no son?
T IS FOR TURN.
- Turn means repent from sin and self.
- But unless you repent, you too will all perish. _Luke 13:3b
- Turn to Someone; trust Christ only.
- That 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. _Romans 10:9
H IS FOR HEAVEN.
- Heaven is eternal life.
- I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. _John 10:10
- And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. _John 14:3
- How? How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I believe You died for my sin and ony through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for loving and forgiving me.
