Not to digress too much, but I have to say that I'm not a 'religious' guy. In fact, I cringe at that label that implies all I do is carry my Bible around all day, go to church on Sunday, and sing 'Kumbaya' around a campfire every chance I get. If that's what following Jesus was all about, I wouldn't waste my time. Faith in Christ is much more than that, a very real thing that takes you from the road to hell that you deserve to the road to heaven that you don't deserve. So much so that I gave my entire life to Him, all my ambitions and all my dreams - and I live to tell others, including you, about the second chance that is available to you. Whether you consider yourself 'religious' or not, salvation is no fairy tale - you really need to think hard about your life.

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard."

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death[HELL] , but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 5:8 God proved His love for us, because while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

So The Bible says that all you must do to be saved is call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, turning from your sins and believing that He paid the price for you. It's that simple.

When you make this first step, some pretty awesome things happen. First of all, your sins are forgiven. All of them - past, present and future! And at that moment, God sends His Holy Spirit to live inside you to guide, teach, empower and encourage you in your new life. Your eternal direction turns 180 degrees and you are guaranteed a forever in Heaven. Your life now has a purpose, and God will do amazing things in your new adventure living for Him. You are reconciled to God, and begin a new relationship with Him as your Heavenly Father.

But you need to be aware that being forgiven of all your sins is not automatic. You must make a sincere step of faith toward Christ to be saved. A generic belief in God, membership in a church, and/or charitable deeds do not make a difference in your eternal future. Jesus said that on the day of judgement, "Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and driven out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty miracles in Your Name? And then I will say to them openly, Depart from Me, I never knew you". You also need to know that living for Christ won't solve all of your problems here on earth, and will many times be difficult. It will not always be an easy, high-spirited walk down the primrose path. However, the Bible says that the troubles you face on earth pale in comparison to your eternal future. If you're sure of the awesome eternity that awaits you, nothing on this earth can overshadow your confidence. God promised to help those who trust in Him to make through this life.

Now that you've heard this important message, you need to do something about it. Life is short, so don't put it off- there may not be a tomorrow. Right now, eternity in torment is your future because of your sin. But God provided a simple way for you to escape, a way that you can take right now, if you believe. Did you know that God led you to this site right now so you could hear His message? You are not here by accident! Right now, God's Holy Spirit is calling you to believe in Jesus Christ.
