Please turn in your hymnals to hymn number 33, To God be the Glory. Hymn number 33, To God be the Glory. To God be the glory, Great things He hath done, So loved He the one that He gave us His Son, Who yield in His life an atonement for sin, And opened the life-gate that all may go in. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice, O come to the Father through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He hath done. O perfect redemption the purchase of blood, To every believer the promise of God, The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus our pardon receives, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice, O come to the Father through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He hath done. Great things He hath taught us, Great things He hath done, And great are rejoicing through Jesus the Son, The purer and higher and greater will be, A wonder of victory when Jesus we see. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice, O come to the Father through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He hath done. I was rather lucky to close the service with a word. Let's pray, O Lord, thank you for this service, O Lord, thank you for all the salvation today, O Lord, and the seeds that were planted, O Lord. I pray, O Lord, that you may guide us on our way back home, O Lord, and just keep us, protect us during this week, O Lord, and just keep your word in our heart, O Lord, and bring us back again in your house on Wednesday and on Sunday. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. They're really the other religion. There's only really two religions in the world. There's Good You Go to Heaven, Bad You Go to Hell, and all the varying versions of that. Some of them are very subtle. Oh, you've got to at least give up a certain amount of sin. You've got to at least try not to sin. And then there's a Bible which says, no, no, no, Go to Heaven is a free gift. And I want to show you how you receive that free gift today. A few things you've got to understand first, though, before you receive that gift. And that's number one is that you are a sinner. I'm a sinner. We're all sinners. The Bible says in Romans 3 23, For all have sinned to come short of the glory of God. See, we're all sinners. We've all broken God's commandments in one way or another. And the Bible says because of that, we come short of the glory of God. We cannot be good enough to go to heaven, which means that we're on our way somewhere else. There's only two places you go. You either go to heaven or you go to hell. And the Bible says for the wages of sin is death. We're all sinners and what we get in return is death. And in the end, that's in a place called the second death, which is a lake of fire. The Bible says in Revelation 20 14, And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. If the wages of sin is death and the second death is the lake of fire, that's not a very good picture being painted there. In fact, in Revelation 21 8, we see just a quick list of common sins to show that we're all on our way to the lake of fire. The Bible reads, But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars. And that's you, me and everyone else in the world shall have their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. However, God doesn't want you to go to hell. Hell is eternal. Hell is a very real place. But God wants you in heaven. And in fact, he made a way for you to go to heaven. In Romans 5 8, the Bible says, But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. So Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God in the flesh, came to this world. And he didn't commit any sin. He lived a perfect life. And then at the end of his life, he was hung up on a cross. He died to pay for our sins. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5 21, For he hath made him, that's Jesus Christ, to be sin for us, who knew no sin. Jesus Christ was sinless. However, he became sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. He swapped with us. He took that punishment for you. He died on that cross. And he then tasted death for every man. The Bible says in Acts 2 31, He, seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh should see corruption, because on the third day rose again. He showed the holes in his hands, the holes in his side. It was a bodily, physical resurrection. He wasn't a ghost. They ate with him. They handled him. And then 40 days later, he went to heaven. Now, what does that mean? Does that mean everyone's going to heaven? Well, of course not. See, there's one thing we have to do to receive that gift. And in Acts 16 30, someone asked the question, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? The apostle Paul and Silas answered and they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house. So what does that mean? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Are they saying to just believe that he exists? Are they saying to believe that there's a person called Jesus? No, they're saying to believe on or put your faith, your trust in that death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ to have paid for all your past, present and future sins. And you can go to heaven. That's what it means. It's to put your trust in Jesus. Like it says in the most famous verse of the world, John 3 16, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. See, the Bible teaches us time and time again that the only way you're going to heaven is by putting your faith and trust in what Jesus Christ did, not what you do. See, many people claim to be Christians and say, Oh, yeah, I'm going to heaven because I believe in Jesus and I'm a good person and I got baptized and I read my Bible and I do this and I do that. Well, they're not trusting Jesus Christ, they're trusting themselves. And the Bible says if they're not trusting Jesus Christ, they're going to hell. Ephesians 3 and 9 says, For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God, not of works as any man should boast. The Bible said it's not of yourself. It's not of your own works. It's just faith alone in Christ alone that gets you to heaven. And a lot of people find that really hard to understand. Now they look at the Bible and think, Yeah, but you've got to follow the commands. You've got to do this, you've got to do that. Yeah, look, as a child of God, when you get saved, when you become one of God's children, by faith in Christ Jesus, which is what Galatians 3 26 says for you, all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, once you become that child, God's going to punish you in life, he's going to reward you in life. However, the only way you become that child, the only way that you could ever get to heaven is by what Jesus Christ did, not what you do. Once you receive that gift, that's it, it's a gift, you're saved. The Bible says, in fact, in John 10 28, And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish. Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My father, which gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my father's hand. See, once you're saved, you've received that gift. You've become a child of God. You could never go to hell. Otherwise, Jesus Christ lied when he said all you had to do was believe. He lied when he said that you shall never perish. And that's the gospel. Gospel means good news. The good news is that your sins have been paid for. All you've got to do is receive that gift. And in fact, in Romans 10 9, the Bible reads that If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised thee from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Says in verse 13 of Romans 10, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you believe, if you want to put your faith, your trust in Jesus Christ, just ask him. And I'd like to lead you in a short prayer. Now, if you believe everything I've just said, if you believe that you're a sinner, you believe that the wages of sin is death, that you deserve hell, that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that you died, was buried and rose again to pay for your sins, and that all you've got to do is put your faith and trust in him. And once you've done that, there is no way you could lose that salvation. Then please just repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I know I deserve hell. I believe that you died, was buried and rose again to pay for my sins. I trust in you now and I need you. Please take me to heaven when I die. Amen. If you believe that and you've called the name of the Lord for salvation, congratulations, you're saved. And I'll be seeing you in heaven one day. God bless you. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
