It was a dream come true. I opened my Christmas gift from my wife - and there was a ticket to Israel! What a gift! To walk where Jesus walked.
I was going where Jesus has been. The gift God wants to give you this Christmas is a ticket to go to where Jesus is. In heaven. Oh, we hope we'll go there when we've taken our last breath. But here's great news - you can know for sure that you'll go to heaven when you die.
Because it isn't about how good you are. If it was, none of us would be able to meet the holy standard of a holy God. Here's the shocker about going to heaven - it's a gift, not a reward! The Bible says that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23). When something's a gift, someone else paid for it. And when it comes to paying the death penalty for our sin that separates us from God, Someone else did pay for it. Jesus.
But like any gift, it's not yours until you take it. Helping you take that step is why we're here. Would you contact us at 888-NEED-HIM or ChatAboutJesus.com?
