As long as you have one breath left ... its never too late ...there's still Hope

A Hill with 3 crosses: The crucifixion of Christ
[Luke 23:32-33,39-43]
"Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Jesus, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. "
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."


As long as you have one last breath ... its never too late ... to receive the gift of Salvation -- the forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God, through faith in Jesus Christ Their is no other "religion", "belief system", or "intellectual construct" that offers a hope of eternal life in Heaven ... through the forgiveness of sins ... through Faith, not deeds.

God paints us a picture of our world. Two sinners, each crucified with Christ on each end. Both criminals guilty of sin and receiving the punishment for what their sins deserved. One man spit at God ... challenging him; the other man repenting to God (Jesus) ... acknowledging him.
One man redeemed and sent to heaven; the other man condemned ... separated from God eternally. Yet, the man who received Christ didn't earn eternal life with God. It was a Gift of Grace because of his repentence and faith in Gods' Son -- Jesus Christ.
  • "Salvation Comes From the Lord" [Jonah 2:8-9]
  • "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." {Stated by Jesus} {John 3:16-18}
  • Jesus Said, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to Heaven except through me"

Either Jesus is the Son of God -- the Hope of All Nations... OR.. a liar and there is no hope for us.
Please ... Do this for yourself ... There is no other hope, no other way ... God loves you and wants you to live with him forever in Heaven. He gives you this gift ... but only you can take it. Today is the day to place your faith in him, you have no time to waist, tomorrow is not promised.
Will you take the gift of salvation--eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ??
