Here are the two most important questions which you can be asked.
1. Have you come to a point in your spiritual life, that if you were to die today...would you spend all of eternity with God?
Yes, no, or not sure? Here is question number 2, ready?
2. Say today you died. A car accident, a bad staph infection, heart attack, electrical shock...whatever, but today you died, OK? You are now standing before the God of the universe and God asks you this question: "WHY SHOULD I LET YOU INTO MY HEAVEN?" What answer would you give to GOD?
Many years ago, someone asked me these same questions. "Have you come to a point in your spiritual life that if you were to die today you would go to heaven or is that something you are still working on?" I responded "yes I think I would go to heaven." The second question was asked me..."If you were to die today and stand before GOD and HE were to ask you 'Why should I let you enter MY heaven?'...what would you say to HIM?" That is quite a question, I thought and I answered "I have lived a pretty good life and think the good things in my life have out weigh the bad things and God will let me into heaven kind of like a teacher grading on a curve."
The person asking me the questions explained to me I would not be allowed into heaven based on my answer. I was stunned! I thought I was good enough to get into heaven!
You know and I know we all have a common problem called death, and I had always wondered what would happen to me when I died. For several years I went through military training with the thought that I would head to war at the end of that time and end up leading a platoon. I always wondered what would happen to me if I were shot and killed in battle. Would I go to heaven? What exactly would happen to me?
Many years later I was in a situation in Eastern Europe with a machine gun punched into my stomach; the man holding the gun on me had his finger on the trigger.
The person that asked me those 2 questions earlier in my life explained to me how I could know for sure that when I died I would have eternal life in heaven with GOD. They told me that it is a gift GOD offers to me freely! Shortly after that conversation, I received GOD's free gift of eternal life. Know that death on earth would not end my life allowed me to have a peace that passes all understanding at that moment when my life was at the end of that gun point.
Since that time GOD has richly blessed me with the knowledge that HE has a plan for my life and that it is a plan of HIS steadfast love and kindness for me, no matter the circumstances.
The following explains in detail how you may receive the free gift of eternal life GOD offers to you. Please take the time and read it and act upon it...you will be very glad you did! If you would rather see and hear a video presentation of this very, very Good News, then CLICK HERE NOW.
1.
"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near" (Isaiah 55:6).
For all eternity you'll be glad you did.
HEAVEN (ETERNAL LIFE)
IS A FREE GIFT.
The Bible says, ". . . the GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23b)
And because heaven is a gift like any other genuine gift......
IT IS NOT EARNED or DESERVED
Therefore, no amount of personal effort, good works, or religious deeds can earn a place in heaven for you.
"By grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES. it is
the gift of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast. " Ephesians 2:8.9
WHY is it that no one can earn his way to heaven? Because ...
2.
MAN IS A SINNER.
"AII have sinned and fall short of the glory, of God. " Romans 3:23
 Sin is transgressing God's law and includes such things as lying, lust, cheating.
deceit, anger, evil thoughts. immoral behavior, and more.
And because of this .....
MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF.
If you wanted to save yourself by good deeds, do you know how good you would have to be?
The Bible says you would have to be perfect. "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. " Matthew 5:48
With such a high standard, no one can save himself for God also says,
"Whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10
In spite of our sin, however ...
3.
GOD IS MERCIFUL,
and therefore
DOESN'T WANT TO PUNISH US.
This is because ...
"God is love. . . " I John 4:8b 
and He says,
"I have loved you with an everlasting love."
Jeremiah 31:3b
But the same Bible that tells us that God loves us also tells us that . . .
GOD IS JUST, and therefore
MUST PUNISH SIN.
He says ...
"I will by no means clear the guilty"
Exodus 34:7b
"The soul who sins shall die."
Ezekiel 18:4
We have a problem; we have all sinned. The penalty for sin is death.
We need forgiveness so that we can have a right relationship with God.
God solved this problem for us in
the Person of ...
4.
JESUS CHRIST
Who exactly would you say Jesus Christ is?
The Bible tells us clearly that He is the infinite 
GOD-MAN.
"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) ... and the
Word (Jesus) was with God ... and the Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us. . ." John 1:1,14
Jesus Christ came to earth and lived a sinless life, but while on earth ...
WHAT DID HE DO?
He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the grave to purchase a place for us in heaven.
"All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, every, one, to his own way, and
the Lord has laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6
God hates our sins but because of His love for us, He has placed them all
on His Son. Christ bore our sin in His body on the cross.
Now Jesus Christ offers you eternal life (heaven) as a free gift.
This gift is received by ...
5.
FAITH
Faith is the key that opens the door to heaven.
Many people mistake two things for saving faith:
1. Mere INTELLECTUAL ASSENT, that is, believing certain historical facts. The
Bible says the devil believes in God, so believing in God is not saving faith.
2. Mere TEMPORAL FAITH, that is, trusting God for temporary crises such as financial, family, or physical needs.
Now these are good, and you should trust Christ
for these, but they are not saving faith!
 SAVING FAITH is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. It means resting upon Christ alone and what He has done
rather than upon what you or I have done to get us into heaven.
"Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. . . " Acts 16:31a
Faith is like the hand of a beggar receiving the gift of a King. We don't deserve the gift of eternal life.
But we can have it, if we will receive it by faith.
You have just read the greatest story ever told about the greatest offer
ever made by the greatest Person who ever lived - Jesus Christ.
The question that God is asking
you now is ...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE?
Because this is such an important matter ...
LET'S CLARIFY just what this involves.
It means, first of all, that you
TRANSFER YOUR TRUST from what you have been doing to what Christ
has done for you on the cross.
It means, next, that you RECEIVE THE RESURRECTED, LIVING
CHRIST into your life as SAVIOR.
He says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock [at the door of your life].
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. "
Revelation 3:20
It means further that you RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR LIFE AS LORD .
He comes as Master and King. There is a throne room in your heart, and that throne is rightly His. He
made you. He bought you and He wants to take His rightful place on the throne of your life.
It means, finally, that you REPENT OF YOUR SINS. That means that you are willing to turn from anything you have been doing
that is not pleasing to Him and to follow Him as He reveals His will to you in His Word. Understand you may have long standing sin filled habits...God will direct your paths and lead you to turn away from what is bad in your life; you must be willing to trust Christ as Savior and Lord and allow Him to work in and through you.
Now, if this is what you
really want ...
YOU CAN G0 TO GOD IN PRAYER
right where you are. You can receive His gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ right now.
"...with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made to salvation ... for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10: 10, 13
If you want to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, then
call on Him, asking Him for this gift right now.
HERE"S A SUGGESTED PRAYER:
"Lord Jesus Christ, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Lord Jesus, come into my life; take control of my life; forgive my sins and save me. I acknowledge I am a sinner and ask you to turn me from my sinful ways and now I place my trust in you for my salvation. I accept the free gift of eternal life."
If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at what Jesus promises to those who believe in Him.
"Most assuredly, I say to you., he who believes in Me has everlasting life. " John 6:47
WELCOME to God's Family!
If you have truly repented (forsaken, turned away) from your sins, placed your trust in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death,
and received the gift of eternal life, you are now a child of God!
Forever! Welcome to the Family of God!
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."
John 1:12
TODAY is your SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY
a day that you will always want to remember!
