F.A.I.T.H.




F is for FORGIVENESS
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without Gods forgiveness.
"In whom {meaning Jesus} we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins"
Ephesians 1:7

A is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available. It is available for All.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave is only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life" John 3:16
But Not Automatic.
"Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" Matt 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.
"He shall have judgment without mercy" James2:13
Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?

T is for TURN
Turn means repent.
Turn from something-sin and self.
"Except ye repent, ye shall all like-wise perish" Luke 13:3
Turn to Someone; trust Christ only.
"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" Romans 10:9

H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life.
Here....
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" John 10:10 Hereafter....
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also" John 14:3
How....
How can a person have Gods forgiveness, heaven, and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?
By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.

Take the step of faith described by another meaning for FAITH:
Forsaking All I Trust Him.
Then tell someone about the important decision you have made.
