Miracle of Salvation

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life...." John 3:16



God's whole purpose in sending His Son was to give Him up to suffer and die. God's whole purpose in giving His Son was for the Son to suffer the punishment for our sins. Everyone who believes "shall not perish". It means hell and eternal death for those who do not believe!

Hallmark's Christmas cards say things like:
Joy to the World
Glory to God
Season's Greetings
Peace on Earth

 
You will never find a card that says- "Saved from Hell".


We need to know about hell. Only then will we know how to avoid it. Only then will we know how much God really loves us. Only then will we know what God has done for us in Christ. Only then will we know what Christ has saved us from. Only then will we realize why Christ has come.

Someone is dying and you don't tell them the cure. Is that showing comfort and love? Someone is lost and you don't give them directions. Is that showing comfort and love? Someone is drowning and you don't throw them a life-jacket. Is that showing comfort and love? Someone is in danger and you don't warn them? Is that showing comfort and love?

Jesus can save you, whoever you are. No matter what you have done, no matter how evil and godless you have been, no matter how richly you deserve hell. Whoever you are, you can be saved, if you – by grace – repent and believe.

Believe in Jesus. Trust Him today. And you will not perish in hell. Instead, you will have eternal life in heaven. Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for you!
