Have you known this<br />

change? Have you experienced<br />

this new birth? Have you turned<br />

to God in repentance, admitting<br />

that you are<br />

a sinner in<br />

need of salvation?<br />

Have<br />

you given up<br />

the false<br />

idea that you<br />

can earn<br />

God’s favour<br />

through your<br />

own “good” works? Have you by<br />

faith accepted Jesus Christ as<br />

your Saviour and Lord?<br />

Do not resent these personal<br />

questions, for they are intended<br />

to lead you to blessing. If I<br />

were to tell you of a path to<br />

wealth and<br />

fame you<br />

would probably<br />

be very<br />

interested.<br />

What Jesus<br />

Christ offers<br />

you—<br />

forgiveness<br />

of sins and<br />

eternal life with Him in Heaven—<br />

is of infinite value. Put the matter<br />

to the test. Do it now!<br />

“Your<br />

response to<br />

Jesus Christ<br />

now will<br />

determine<br />

your destiny<br />

for eternity”<br />

T H E G O O D N E W S<br />

The terms are simple:<br />

“This is His commandment:<br />

that we should believe on the<br />

name of His Son Jesus<br />

Christ” (1 John 3:23). Will you<br />

receive Him, the living Christ of<br />

God who died, rose again, and<br />

now offers salvation to all who<br />

believe on Him? Will you trust<br />

Him now as your very own Saviour?<br />

It is not the reception of a<br />

creed, or identification with a<br />

church, or becoming a religious<br />

person that saves. It is the acceptance<br />

of a Person, the Son<br />

of God. Your acceptance or rejection<br />

of Him answers the solemn<br />

question, “Are you<br />

ready?”<br />

“It is appointed for men to<br />

die once, but after this the<br />

judgement” (Hebrews 9:27).<br />

When you stand before God,<br />

will you be stained with your<br />

sin or will you have been<br />

washed clean through faith in<br />

Jesus Christ? The issue is very<br />

clear: your response to Jesus<br />

Christ now will determine your<br />

destiny for eternity. “Nor is<br />

there salvation in any other, for<br />

there is no other name under<br />

Heaven given among men by<br />

which we must be<br />

saved…’Believe on the Lord<br />

Jesus Christ, and you will be<br />

saved’” (Acts 4:12; 16:31).<br />

You must meet God. Are<br />

you ready?
