Belief and Acceptance


a tract by Kraig Josiah Rice

Some people think there are many ways to Heaven but
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."
(John 14:6).

The Bible says that you must believe in Jesus to make it to heaven, but what does the word "believe" really mean?
(John 3:16)

Jesus said, "...Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
(John 3:3)

The Apostle Peter preached, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."
(Acts 3:19)

The Apostle Paul wrote, "...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
(2 Corinthians 5:17)

These scriptures give the clue to the meaning of the word "believe." Christ wants you to experience Him by inviting Him into your heart.
(Revelation 3:20).

This acceptance of Christ is what is truly meant by the word "believe". When Christ comes into your heart He gives meaning to your life, peace in your heart, and a conscience free of guilt.
(Philippians 4:7)

This "acceptance of Christ" is what makes you and I a "believer in Christ" and gives you the knowledge and assurance of going to heaven.
(John 11:25; 1 John 5:13)

Have you accepted Christ into your heart and life?

Jesus Said, "He that is not with me is against me".
(Matthew 12:30)

"...He that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him."
(John 3:36)

Paul said, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23)

If you have not yet chosen Jesus Christ as your personal saviour and are going through hard times in your life right now perhaps God is using these difficulties to draw you to himself. God loves you and wants to help you through your hard times. God wants to deliver you from fear and torment. If you will give Him your entire heart He will set you entirely free.

This is how to accept him:
(1) realize you are a sinner
(2) know that Jesus Christ is the only one who can save you
(3) be sorry for your sins and cast yourself upon His mercy and grace, and
(4) repent of your sins and ask Jesus Christ to come and live in your heart.

He will forgive you of your sins, comfort you, come to live in your heart, and give you a new heart. Please make this decision now for
NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.
