1 Corinthians 13:12 (Amp)

3.  HOW DO I SETTLE MY ETERNAL DESTINY?

“I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know with settled and absolute knowledge that you already have life, yes, eternal life!” 1 John 5:13 (Amp)

“God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God

does not have life.”  1 John 5:11-12 (NIV)

“At one time you were separated from God.  You were His enemies in your minds, and the evil things you did were against God.  But now God has made you His friends again.  He did this through Christ's death in the body so that He might bring you into God's presence as people who are holy, with no wrong, and with nothing of which God can judge you guilty.”  Colossians 1:21-22 (NCV)

“For God so loved the world,

that He gave His Only begotten Son,

that whosoever believes in Him

should not Perish but have Everlasting Life.”

John 3:16 (KJV)

A  ADMIT   I  NEED A SAVIOR TO GET TO HEAVEN

B  BELIEVE   Jesus died for me

C  COMMIT    MYSELF COMPLETELY TO HIM

D DEPEND  On GOD’S PROMISE

4.  WHAT’S MY RESPONSIBILITY? TO TELL

“If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to warn them about changing their ways, then they will die in their sins, but I will hold you responsible for their deaths.”

 Ezekiel 33:8 (NLT)

"Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.  But how can they call on Him unless they believe in Him?  And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him?  And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?  And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?  It’s what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those

who bring good news!’" Romans 10:13-15 (NLT)
