Pastor's article 03-22-26

Views about reaching heaven vary. Some believe good deeds and caring for family ensure entry, while others stress strict religious observance. Some think heaven is earthly, and others think that death ends existence. The Bible is the definitive authority, teaching that only faith in Jesus Christ grants access to heaven. Jesus Himself said that He was “the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father but by Me.”  (John 14:6) That is what the thief on the cross discovered in his last hours on this earth. He cried out to the Lord Jesus and was gloriously saved, not from dying but from eternal death. When your death day comes, all that will matter is what you have done with Jesus. If you have accepted Him then you will have eternal life; if you have rejected Him, you will have eternal death. No matter how messed up your life has been, no matter how mean you have been, there is hope for you in Christ Jesus. The only hopeless man is the one who hangs his hopes on the wrong person or the wrong thing. Please understand today that the most important decision you can make in life is to call on Christ and allow Him to be the Lord and Savior of your life. If you accept Him as Lord, He will also be your Savior. What about it? Do you know Him? Will you surrender to Him today?
