Which
way will you go?
Heaven
or Hell
Did you know that God created you to be like Him?
"God created man in His own image, in
the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
God’s desire for us is to be like Him—holy, pure
and without sin.
Are you like God?
"But like the Holy One who called you,
be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall
be holy, for I am holy.’"
God is a Holy God and He requires us to be Holy
like He is.
Do you want to test yourself to see if you
are Holy—like God?
God has given us ten rules to live by. We can compare our lives to God’s rules to see
how well we are doing to live up to His standards.
Answer
the following questions:
1.
Have you ever served
other Gods? (Exodus 20:2)
2.
Have you ever bowed
to an idol? (Exodus 20:4)
3.
Have you ever used
the Lord’s name in vain? (Exodus
20:7)
4.
Have you ever worked
on the Sabbath (Saturday)? (Exodus
20:8)
5.
Have you ever
disobeyed your parents? (Exodus20:12)
6.
Have you ever
murdered anyone? (Exodus 20:13)
Note:
7.
Have you ever
committed adultery? (Exodus 20:14)
Note:
8.
Have you ever stolen
anything? (Exodus 20:15)
9.
Have you ever told a
lie? (Exodus 20:16)
10.
Have you ever wanted
something that belonged to someone else? (Exodus 20:17)
Did you answer yes to
any of the questions?
If so
then you are not living up to God’s standards.
IN FACT
you have broken God’s Law!
"Everyone
who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness."
Breaking
God’s law is the same as sin.
"For
whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty
of all."
It
does not matter if you break one law or just break it once—YOU ARE GUILTY!
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Did you know that you will die someday and
then stand before God to be judged?
"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men
to die once and after this comes judgment,"
"But I tell you that every careless word
that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment."
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU WILL
BE ASKED TODAY!
When you die you will stand before a Holy, pure,
just, sinless God.
Based on how you have already answered the
questions earlier will God let you in to Heaven?
"Now the deeds of the flesh are evident,
which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities,
strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as
I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the
kingdom of God."
This verse tells us that those who practice such
things will not go to Heaven!
"For this you know with certainty, that
no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an
inheritance in the
This verse tells us that not only will you not
make it to heaven but you will experience the wrath of God—now!
If God’s wrath is on you now—how much more
severe will it be on the day you stand in judgment?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? YOU ARE HELPLESS!
1.
You admitted you are
guilty.
2.
God’s wrath is on
you.
3.
Those who are
practice such things do not go to Heaven.
4.
Now you are awaiting
Judgment.
There is still hope for you—GOD’S GRACE
"For while we were
still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps
for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own
love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much
more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the
wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to
God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall
be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."

"Therefore
having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all
people everywhere should repent,"
God has overlooked your ignorance up to this
point—but now He commands you to repent!
"Therefore repent and return, so that
your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from
the presence of the Lord;"
Repent means stop doing what you have been doing
and go in the opposite direction (back to God).
God will remove your sin and will refresh you
with His presences.
