If you were to die today, would you know where you are going? This hub will specifically answer that question and to will help you make the most important decsion of your life.

In the Beginning

To become a christian, you must believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God died on the cross for your sins that if you repent, you may live with God and other believers in paradise someday when you die. God has told us what to do through his word, The Bible, through which he breathed and man wrote. There are 66 books in the Bible. The first is Genesis, and in this book, the days of creation are explained. Genesis 1:1 says, " In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." God created the whole universe and its surrondings in 7 days! Genesis 1:3 says, " And God said, let there be light, and there was light." On the first day, God created light. On the second, God created the sky and parted the waters. On the third, God created the dry land along with plants. On the fourth, God created the Sun, Moon, and the stars. On the fifth, God created sea creatures. On the sixth day, God created all land animals and man. And finally on the seventh day, God rested. Genesis 1:31 says. "And God saw all that he had made, and it was good."

Jesus and His Life

On a cold night in Bethlehem, our Savior was born. God spoke to Joseph, Jesus' father, and said, " She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will his people from their sins." Mary, Jesus' mother did just that. Jesus was born lying in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Jesus later grew up just like any other human being. He walked among his people and gave them the good news.

Crucifixion of Jesus

Later in his life as he was sharing the gospel with the people, Jesus was taken into prison. He underwent many trials with Ponchus Pilate and Herod until finally the crowded shouted they wanted to spare Barabas, a prisoner, in return for Jesus, their Messiah! Jesus was then beaten and whipped and times until the guards finally stopped. Even with hanging flesh and bleeding badly, they still made Jesus carry his cross up to Golgotha Hill, where Jesus would be hung on the cross to die. Jesus hung on the cross as many believers and other citizens watched him die. As soon as Jesus passed, there was a great storm and a giant earthquake that split the temples curtain in two! Later that day, many of Jesus' disciples took his body and placed his body in a tomb and rolled a large stone infront of the tomb so no one would mess with it. 3 days later, a couple of women went to spread spices on Jesus' body only to find that the large boulder had been removed and an angel of the Lord sat upon the stone and said, "Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." Jesus had risen from the dead!!

The Roman Road

Interested in becoming a believer of the true God and Savior? Very easy. Here is an example called The Roman Road that will help you with receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."

Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 5:8 "God demonstrates his own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!"

Romans 10:13 "For whomever shall calleth upon the name of the Lord will be saved!!"

*Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU SHALL BE SAVED!"*

Heaven

As Christians, we believe that if you do truely believe Jesus Christ the Son of God died on the cross for your sins and you have asked him to come into your heart, you will be saved. When you die, if you are saved, your spirit will ascend to heaven to be with God and all the other believers and you will be there for the rest of eternity praising God. In heaven, you get a new body. There is no sickenss, sin, or anything bad in heaven. Don't you want to go when you die?
