The best you can do will land you right in the lake of fire. Men simply hate the truth. The truth is, you’re not going to make in your own righteousness.

What is Eternity? Am I going to live forever? Do I have eternal life? What's it going to be like in Eternity? Am I saved from my sins? Have I asked Jesus to save me? Did He do it? Where are my sins right now, on me or Jesus? Have I really trusted Jesus Christ Himself as my Savior? Am I counting on being good to get me to Heaven, or am I counting only on Jesus Christ to get me to Heaven?

* You'll die one day because you're a a sinner...the wages of sin is death...Jesus died because He bore our sins, not because He sinned...Christ died for sinners, for sins, and for SIN...

* In everyone's heart, there's a throne and a cross. When you're on the throne, Christ is on the cross; and when you're on the cross, Jesus is on the throne.
* There’s a difference between religion and salvation. Religion is what a man does to try and justify himself before God. Religion is a man’s search for God, the Gospel is God’s search for lost sinners. Religions are dead, religions are things, religions can’t save your soul, and they can’t give you life on the inside. He that hath the Son hath life, he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (I John 5:12). A religion is what a man does to try and justify himself. Salvation is what God does for a sinner who knows he can’t justify himself before a holy God. Salvation is something Jesus Christ gives an undeserving sinner that knows he is ungodly. And what God is waiting for you to do is real simple: God is waiting for you to come to the end of your self where you will admit that you are no good, and that your religion is no good, and you humbly come to His Son for FORGIVENESS and LIFE. And until you do that, you are DEAD in your sins, alienated from the life of God, and you will eventually end up dying in your sins and perishing and die the second death in the lake of fire, unless you repent and acknowledge and trust that Jesus Christ is the true God, THE TRUTH, and the ONLY WAY to heaven (I Timothy 3:16; John 14:6).
* Conscience makes cowards of us all, and it is the memory of our past sins that unnerves us.
* God was manifest in the flesh. God became a man, and that's why salvation is in a Person and never in a religion. And that person was an alien from outer space. Who? The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was God manifest in the flesh. A sinful man can't be saved unless a man saves him. There is one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. In order to save man, God had to show up here on earth as a man, and take the blame for human sin, which He did, in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus bore our sins Himself in His own body, and paid the debt we couldn't pay. That's why no religion ever saved a dead dog. A religion is a thing, and you're not save a thing, you are saved by a Person. Thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.
