The Most Important question Of Your Life...?

Dear treasure friend,

Grace and peace be showered upon you in abundance in Jesus name. Crucifixion day, which dawned two thousand years ago, was the darkest day in the history of the world. On that day, Jesus Christ, the son of God was hung on a cross and crucified.

Calvary’s crucifixion day was dark and full of despair. But the brilliant dawning of Resurrection morning will forever shine in our hearts, because that was the day Jesus rose from the dead. And because He lives, we shall live also.

But before I will ask you this most important question, of your life, I will share a true story of a gang member who has the answer!

His story goes this way:
My name is John Wilson and I live in Dumfries, Scotland. When I quit school at 15, I already had two convictions for burglary and under-age drinking. One year later, I was leading a local gang that used knives, razors and even axe to get its way. During the Christmas holiday, a couple of us stole a car, wrecking it in a high speed chase with police. The crash put me in the hospital, where I was told I’d never walk again. But nine months later, I hobbled out, a very bitter young man, even more violent and dependent on drugs and alcohol.

Two years later I ended up in a detention centre for a violet behavior. At 20, I married and then deserted my bride in less than 3 weeks. Such were my selfish ways. The next eight years were one disaster after another- full of drunkenness, fighting and crimes. Among other physical injuries, I lost my left kidney in a stabbing incident in London- my life was a mess.

Trying to keep up my “hardened criminal” reputation took its toll on me: ten prison sentences ranging from 3 months to 2 years for crimes ranging from armed robbery to attempted murder, and five spells in mental hospitals, at times being restrained in a strait jacket and a padded cell.

Then one Sunday night, while walking past Bethany Gospel Hall in Dumfries, a poster caught my eye. As I was reading it, a woman invited me in. That was the first time I heard of the saving power of the risen Christ. But I didn’t act on what I heard because of my selfish lifestyle.
My life went from bad to worse, and soon I was homeless, sleeping in the streets. The so called hard man was now such a wreck that even the local mental hospital barred me from entering. Alcoholism gripped me so much, I was even drinking rubbing alcohol and after shave lotion.

I was about to commit suicide by jumping from a third story window, when the words I had heard about Jesus spoke to me within. I knelt in he middle of the filthy room my mother had rented for me and cried out to the living God. “Lord I’m so selfish, proud, dirty minded, violent, and blasphemous- a total failure. If you come into my heart and strengthen me I will accept you as my savior and live for you.”

At that moment, I felt a gentle breeze come over me, and a sense of great relief in my heart. The more I cried the better I felt.

Freedom and liberty flowed through my body. It was so good to be saved, not by any religion, church attendance or good works, but simply by trusting in Christ’s finished work on Calvary’s cross. What He said there pertained to me: “it is finished”. (John 19:3). No matter how bad a person is, if he trusts Christ as Savior he will be saved. (Romans 10:13, John 3:16). There is nothing more for you to do. Christ has done it all (1 John 2:2).

John Wilson is asking now, can you relate to my true story? Maybe you think because you have never reached this low you don’t need to be saved. God says it’s impossible to save ourselves (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 8:7-8). I don’t have all the answers, but I know the answer has me, and He’ll never let me go (John 10:28).

John Wilson is now giving you offers, why not join me in a eternal relationship with Jesus Christ by speaking to the Living God right now?

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF YOUR LIFE IS, ARE YOU SAVED? Where will you spend your eternity?

If you are unsure of the answer to this question, or if you are afraid you will not spend eternity in Heaven, there’s good news for you:…..God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE” (John 3:16).

Because God loves and values you so much, He made a way for you to be saved. He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die so mankind could be redeemed from sin. The Bible says concerning salvation: “….Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3)

Salvation does not come by joining a church as I said earlier, following a certain religion, doing good deeds, or living a good moral life. The Bible says there is only one way to receive salvation. You must be born again by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.

Settle the most important question of your life. Pray the following prayer and receive Jesus as your savior:

Dear Heavenly father,
I come to you in the name of Jesus.
You said in your word: “…..if thou shalt confess with thy month the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED” (Romans 10:9).
I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
I believe He was raised from the dead for my justification
Your word says, “….with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH.
Confession is made unto salvation”. (Romans 10:10)
I do believe with my heart, and I now confess with my mouth Jesus as my Lord. Therefore,
I am saved.
Thank you, Lord!
