Are You Saved or Lost?

There are only two kinds of people on earth today. Those whom God has saved, and those who are still lost. Right now you are either saved or lost and in your sins. Here's how to find out which:

The Holy Bible says: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Holy Bible 1 Tim. 1:15 NIV

Jesus said to a swindling cheat who had repented and trusted in Him;

Today salvation has come to this house, for the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. Lk. 19:9+10

Has God's Son, Jesus Christ saved you yet?

If so, where, when?

If you don't know, you are still unsaved.

That is why you are here, you can be saved right now by acknowledging;

You were born lost. Separated from God by the sinful nature you inherited from your ancestors Adam and Eve. That is why you must be born again.

They messed things up for you, made you rebellious, proud, and unrighteous in God's sight. You can blame them for that.

But God has provided a way, the Only Way, for you to be saved, brought back to Him as His friend; righteous, holy, and blameless.

He did this for you, it was His idea, because He created you and loves you. God Himself came to earth in Christ. Bore your guilt and sin on the Cross. Took the full punishment you deserve for breaking God's Laws.

Jesus died in your place, so you don't have to suffer punishment for your sin, but have God's life and righteousness.

The condition is simple.

Accept Christ as, Lord (God in the Flesh), and trust in Him.

Or reject Him, and remain lost in your sins, bearing the punishment for them at your Judgment.

That is your choice.

Don't blame anyone else if you choose wrong.

If you are lost, you'll be a mixture of the following :

• Deeply Insecure:
  Despite outward bravado, you'll have profound anxiety in your heart.
• Proud and Self-Reliant:
  You'll make it your own way. You always have done haven't you?
• Mock and Sneer at Sin:
  To the mocker, the concept of sin (and forgiveness) is 'flexible', foolish, or even 'unreal'.
• Very Religious:
  You have your own strong beliefs. Perhaps traditional religious ones, personal pick and choose ones, or some bizarre mixture. All are totally false.
• Ignorant:
  You simply do not know where you came from or where you are destined. You guess, imagine or dream. Your best guess is wrong.
• Captive To Sin:
  You are held in bondage to sin and sinful habits.
• You are very curious About Christ:
  Who is He? What did He do? Why is He different? How can I know the Truth?

When You are saved, you will know without doubt:

Jesus Christ is Almighty God (YHWH) in Human Flesh. Jn. 12:41+45; Is. 6:5; Jn. 1:1+14; Rev. 1:8, Rev 22:13+16; Is. 48:12; Lk. 6:5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... The Word became flesh. Jn. 1:1+14

All your sins are paid for in full. Christ died to settle your sin debt once and for all. Rev. 1:5; 1 Pe. 3:18; Heb. 7:27

To him who loves us, and has freed us from our sins by his blood. Rev. 1:5

God is your Father. You are His child.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we (believers in Christ) are!
1 Jn. 3:1

You have eternal life in you right now.

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 Jn. 5:10-13

Nothing can separate you from God and His Love for you.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ro. 8:38-39

You have an inheritance in Heaven waiting for you.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade; kept in heaven for you. 1 Pe. 1:3-5

You will never die, just 'fall asleep' and wake up in Heaven.

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Jn. 11:25-27

God's Voice is real to you.

His sheep follow him because they hear his voice. Jn. 10:4

You have perfect peace with God as you trust in Christ. Ro. 5:1 Phil. 4:7

Being justified by faith, we (believers) have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Ro. 5:1(KJV)

Now, you decide:
