Heaven or Hell

Are you truly happy and at peace?

Are you depressed and unsatisfied with your life despite your efforts to live a good and honest life? Are you always anxious about your future? Are you facing family problems that seem impossible to solve? Where do these problems come from? Is there a solution for you?

 

number 1:

You must know where you come from. God made you with a soul in His image. God made you to be with Him. True happiness is found when you meet God. You can read about this in Genesis chapter 1 verses 27 through 28.

 

number 2:

But something went wrong. Man and woman were tempted by Satan, the enemy of God, and SINNED. The price or wage of SIN is DEATH, which means physical death, spiritual death and eternal death. Man fell into Satan's control. This is your fundamental problem. All problems and suffering come from this root cause. You can read about this in Genesis chapter 3 verses 1 through 6.

 

number 3:

 

So then all of man's problems began:

1. Children of the devil

Because of sin, we have become spiritually dead and fell into the control of the devil. This is found in John chapter 8 verse 44.

 

2. Idol worship

We naturally seek God, but Satan deceives us with religions, philosophies, cultural customs, superstitions, psychics, wealth, and power. You can read about this in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 2.

 

3. Mental suffering

As a result of idolatry, people suffer from anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, negativity, and other mental illnesses. There is not peace or rest. You can read about this in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 3 and Matthew chapter 11 verse 28.

 

4. Physical suffering

Then physical problems such as incurable diseases, physical anguish, nightmares and even unknown diseases arise. People also suffer from family breakdown, financial hardship, relationship conflicts, disasters, and societal problems. This is found in Acts chapter 8 verses 4 through 8.

 

5. Death and judgment of hell

After suffering with these problems on earth, we all face death and eternal judgment in hell because of our sin of not having met God. You'll find this in Luke chapter 16 verses 19 through 31 and Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27.

 

6. Spiritual inheritance

Even after death. the problems and curses we face are not solved: they are passed down to our children. You can read about this in Exodus chapter 20 verses 4 and 5.

 

 

number 4:

 

The Answer is Jesus Christ

For you to find the solution to all your present problems, you need to have your fundamental problem solved first. Because God loves you, He provided a way for you to be saved. As soon as the first man sinned, God promised a Savior who would solve the root problems of man. He would be called the ‘Christ’, the anointed one of God. Man cannot meet God with his own strength. So God Himself came down to the earth. He is Jesus, a true Man and true God. He was born of a virgin and so was without original sin. He is the true Prophet of God who is the way to meet God. Jesus came to pay the wage of our sin by dying on the cross. His sacrificial death set us free from the power of sin and death. He is the true Priest and mediator. Jesus resurrected from the dead as evidence that He is God. He destroyed the authority of Satan, death, and hell over man. He is the true King with all authority in heaven and on earth. This is found in Romans chapter 10 verse 13, chapter 10 verses 9 and 10, Revelations chapter 3 verse 20, and John chapter 1 verse 12.

 

 

number 5:

Believe in Jesus and be saved!

God loves you and wants you to be saved from your sin, death, and curse of hell. He has been waiting for you to meet Him. You can meet God by believing in your heart that Jesus died for you.

Follow this prayer for salvation: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I have lived my life not knowing you. But now I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of my soul. He died on the cross for my sins and rose again to set me free from Satan's power. I open my heart and receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. Jesus, forgive all my sins and make me your child. Be with me and guide my life forever. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
