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?
