Here I have a one dollar gold piece: Here I have ten pennies: Which is worth more? - the one dollar gold piece, of course. So CHRIST is worth more than all the sinners of all ages. CHRIST JESUS - was perfect man, and perfect GOD. CHRIST is His Heavenly name, JESUS is His earthly name. Jesus died for every man, woman and child including you, including me. Then why isn't everyone saved? Matthew 7:13, 14, says, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." This free gift must be personally received, John 1:11, 12 - "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believed on His name." - He came to His own things (that He created) and His own (the Jews as a race) received Him not. But as many (you and me) as receive HIM CHRIST (as our personal Savior), to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD; even to them that received on HIS name. Salvation is a free gift. How do you receive a gift? You must reach out your hand and take it. That's the only way you can have salvation, be saved from Hell and go to Heaven; by reaching out the hands of your heart and taking CHRIST into your heart. Remember, CHRIST over me and in GOD'S sight. I am righteous. GOD sees Christ over my sinful heart, and I am righteous. This is an act of faith. You must believe that CHRIST is. That He died for you, and that He now sits at the right hand of GOD the Father waiting for you to become a Christian (Christ's little one). If you never have done this before, will you right now? Just close your eyes; envision the hands of your heart, reaching out and taking Christ into your heart, and simply say, GOD be merciful to me a sinner and save me for Jesus sake! (This is not embracing a religion this is receiving a person). Fill in the blanks: (Your name) ________________ am now this day,
I have already accepted Christ: ___ YES ___ No When ___________________________________________ Where __________________________________________
