Over 35 years ago, I made my first trip to Northern Ontario Canada for a Fly-In-Fishing trip. I told my wife this would be a once in a lifetime trip. I have been back every year since.
The beauty of this wilderness is breathtaking. I have seen Eagles soar, Moose run, Bears play, Beaver swim, and Bobcats roam. I have shared many shore lunches of fresh caught Walleye with my fishing buddies. Of course during any fishing trip you have to listen to fishing stories. Some of the stories are funny and some are just hard to believe. It is funny how over the years the fish caught always get bigger and never smaller.
When seeing the beauty of God's creation it is hard to understand how anyone could say there is NO GOD! The fact of the matter is, not everyone is able to see the beauty of God's creation, because many live in sad and ugly conditions. When Adam sinned, he brought corruption and death to the face of the earth. Every day since then, sin continues to take its toll on the earth and man. Have you noticed, things around the world are getting worse and NOT better?
The BIBLE teaches that "all men have sinned" YES all men, even Preachers, Sunday School Teachers, and all Church Members have SINNED! God's word, the BIBLE, teaches that because of our SIN, we must be judged and without Salvation through Jesus Christ we will spend eternity in Hell - The Lake of Fire.
The good news is that God does not want anyone to die and go to HELL. That is why Jesus willingly came down from heaven, was born of the virgin Mary, lived without SIN, died on Calvary's Cross, was buried and Rose from the Dead that we could be SAVED from our SINS, by trusting in God's gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
How to be SAVED from your SINS
1. Who has sinned? Everyone has sinned! Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
2. God's price on SIN (Death and Hell/Lake of Fire...Separation from God for all eternity) Romans 6:23: For the wages of SIN is Death.
3. God's Gift (Salvation for all who repent and call upon Christ) Romans 5:8: but God commendeth HIS Love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
4. Can you be saved today? (YES if you repent and call upon Jesus Christ to be your Saviour) Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED. Whosoever includes YOU. Shall be Saved means..NOT Maybe, nor can be, BUT Shall be SAVED. Surely you realize you are a sinner and have fallen short of the Glory of God. Right NOW, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in Prayer
In Luke 18:13 the sinner prayed "Be merciful to me a sinner, Just pray right now..Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the CROSS, I believe HIS shed Blood, death, and resurrection were for ME. I now receive Jesus as my Saviour. Lord I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins, your gift of Salvation and Everlasting Life, Thank you Lord for your merciful GRACE...in Jesus Name I pray this..AMEN.
Just take God at his word and Claim His Salvation by Faith. Believe and you shall be SAVED. No Church, No Good Works can save you. Remember God does all the saving...ALL of it! Romans 10:13..For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL be SAVED
