A Person May Go To Heaven..

Without Health

Without Wealth

Without Fame

Without a Great Name

Without Learning

Without Culture

Without Beauty

Without Friends

Without Ten Thousand Other Things

But he can never go to Heaven without Christ!

If in this life only we have hope in Christ,

we are of all men most miserable.

1 Corinthians 15v19

If a man die, shall he live again? Job 14v14

So, is there life after death? How can we know?

This question must have crossed your mind at some point in

life? It’s a classic question that has divided the human race for

years; staunch atheists say NO, whereas Christians say a

definite YES, and base their answers and beliefs upon their

Final Authority, the word of God, the Bible. Atheists just base

their answers on opinions as they have NO Final Authority. (It

takes a lot of ‘faith’ to be an atheist/evolutionist!)

So is there really a literal place called Heaven and a literal place

called Hell, one of which we go, when we die?

IF there is nothing AFTER death, then surely you can live a life

of total selfishness and do whatever you want, without any

fear of consequences for your actions afterwards. BUT, if

there really is a Hell, and it is the place where everyone goes

who has rejected Jesus Christ as their Saviour, shouldn’t I do

something about it regarding my own life, as well as warning

the world of what is to come? I mean, if I really believed in

Hell, shouldn’t I do all I can to stop you, your family and

neighbours from going there?

If you and I chose just five people in our families to sit around

a table and discuss this subject of ‘Life AFTER Death’, I wonder

how the conversation would go. Would it get heated and

tempers fly? Or could we discuss it in a calm rational manner?

You see, this subject has caused many arguments among many

people. Today the word ‘Hell’ is used as a swearword, and

most people don’t fear this place; they just don’t want to talk

about it!!!

Christians who believe in Hell are trying to stop as many

people as they can from going there; even when those people

don’t want to listen and don’t seem to care. Christians are

trying to reach these LOST people because the Lord Jesus

Christ loves them and doesn’t want them to go to this terrible

place called Hell. Christians all around the world are trying to

reach lost people with the Gospel - Jesus Christ loved you so

much that He came to die for you. If you put your faith and

trust in Him to forgive you of all your sins then you shall be

saved from Hell.

One thing we must all realise is this, just because you and I

don’t believe in something i.e. life after death, doesn’t mean it

is not real or true. Stop and think about that for a moment!

Heaven and Hell are real places just as your own home, village,

town or city, and the reason I have written this booklet is

because I want to do all I can to STOP you from going to Hell,

that’s it! I’m not trying to get you to join a church and I’m

certainly not after your money, I’m just doing everything I can

to warn as many people as possible that if you don’t ask the

Lord Jesus Christ to forgive all your sins, Hell is the place you

will go when you die. You have a chance RIGHT NOW to make

Heaven your FIXED eternal destination, but if you throw this

booklet away and reject the warning it is giving, you will ONLY

have yourself to blame! Friend, there is no greater decision

you can make in life; YOU choose your eternal destination by

the choices YOU make!

No matter what you have been told or taught, know this, the

King James Bible (the word of God) is 100% PERFECT and has

never been proven wrong, it is PERFECT; it is God’s Holy Book

and He has PRESERVED His words for us today (read Psalm

12v6+7). It was THE BOOK that made our nation GREAT, yet

now ‘Great’ Britain is just ‘Britain’ because we have discarded

the Bible; we have taken it out of our homes, schools,

businesses, hospitals and prisons, and we are reaping what we

have sown. No longer are the Scriptures taught to our

children, and now we are seeing the results. No longer do

children grow up fearing the consequences of their sins, they

just don’t care, because they don’t know right from wrong!

Each generation is becoming more godless, and therefore

wicked, unruly, selfish, unthankful, unholy, disrespectful,

violent, etc. (I’m sure you can think of many more words that

describe today’s society!)

The Bible predicted this would happen…

2 Timothy 3v1-5+7 This know also, that in the last days

perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their

own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural

affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,

despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady,

highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away. EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO

COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. Can you see

these traits in today’s modern man?

Back to our question ‘Is there ‘Life’ AFTER Death?’

The word of God states categorically, that there is life after

death, take a few moments to read the following Scriptures…

I have made a few comments at the end of each one…

Acts 24v15 And have hope toward God, which they

themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of

the dead, both of the just and unjust. Both sinners and those

who have had their sins forgiven by Jesus Christ shall live

AFTER they have died i.e. in Heaven or Hell! There is life after

death!

Matthew 25v41 Then shall he say also unto them on the lefthand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,prepared for the devil and his angels: Notice that the Biblesays that there is EVERLASTING FIRE! It doesn’t matterwhether you or I believe in the everlasting fire of Hell; the Bibledeclares it to be true.

Matthew 25v46 And these shall go away into everlastingpunishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Note,EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT and LIFE ETERNAL! You and I shallspend eternity either in Heaven or Hell; we need to know whatto do to escape Hell before it’s too late!

John 3v16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his onlybegotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should notperish, but have everlasting life. This is the most famous versein the Bible; it has been quoted in more sermons than anyother verse. IF you believed in it with all your heart (Note,heart not just your head!) you can escape Hell and go toheaven when you die.

John 5v24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth myword, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlastinglife, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passedfrom death unto life. Jesus spoke these words! He is sayingthat if you trust in what He said and believe that He came totake your sins and die in your place, so you could have Hisrighteousness, you can have everlasting life! Have you everasked Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins? Religionwon’t save you from Hell; neither will the church, or your owngood-works, ONLY Jesus Christ can save you from Hell. Whynot ask Him to forgive you right now before it’s too late; rightwhere you are as you read this booklet, ask Him to forgive youof every sin you have committed and to save you! If you do itfrom your heart, you will be saved for eternity!

2 Thessalonians 1v7-9 And to you who are troubled rest with

us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with

his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them

that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord

Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting

destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory

of his power; Note a few things in regard to these Scriptures

here…

1) Jesus Christ is coming back again! It could be anytime

NOW, and this is what ‘true’ Christians are waiting for. He is

coming back to collect all those that are SAVED and take them

to be with Him in Heaven.

2) He is also coming to judge all, and to punish those who obey

not God, and have not received Jesus Christ as their Saviour; in

other words, you who have turned your back upon God.

3) Those who have rejected Jesus Christ will be banished from

His presence forever in Hell Fire… whether you and I believe it

or not, that is what the Bible says… Revelation 20v15 And

whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast

into the lake of fire.

We are warning you of the consequences of rejecting Jesus,

because we love you and only want what is best for you.

Please TAKE HEED to these solemn warnings!

Romans 6v23 For the

wages of sin is death; but

the gift of God is eternal

life through Jesus Christ

our Lord. You and I die

because we are sinners.

We would live forever if we

were WITHOUT sin, hence

the reason why Christ Jesus came, to take OUR sins and give us

HIS righteousness and His gift of everlasting life. 2 Corinthians

Page 9: I L D a...have yourself to blame! Friend, there is no greater decision you can make in life; YOU choose your eternal destination by the choices YOU make! No matter what you have been

5v21 For he hath made him (JESUS) to be sin for us, who knew

no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in

him. We can have all our sins forgiven because of Jesus Christ,

we just need to TRUST IN HIM and the sacrifice He made on

the Cross by dying for us. Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection

provided a way for us all to go to Heaven, BUT ONLY, if we ask

Him to forgive us – we CANNOT get to Heaven on our own or

in our own power! Ephesians 2v8+9 For by grace are ye saved

through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Every FALSE religion e.g. Roman Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism,

Sikhism etc. and every CULT e.g. Jehovah’s Witnesses,

Mormons, Christadelphians, Unitarians etc. will try to tell you

that you can work or earn yourself a place in Heaven, but the

Bible says YOU CAN’T! I have known many people, when they

come to the end of their life, start giving money to charities;

most do this trying to ‘cleanse their soul’, knowing that very

soon they will leave TIME, for ETERNITY – they think that their

good ‘works’ will give them a good standing with God and will

SAVE them WHEN IT WON’T! God doesn’t want your money,

He wants a relationship with YOU! Not by works of

righteousness which we have done, but according to his

mercy he saved us… Titus 3v5

1 John 5v11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us

eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Here we see that the

Bible tells us that ETERNAL LIFE is IN the Son of God, Jesus

Christ. …He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not

the Son of God hath not life. 1 John 5v12. It is ONLY through

10

Jesus Christ and TRUSTING IN HIM for our sins forgiven that

we can go to Heaven! Allah, Muhammad, Mary, plus every

other ‘god’, and every person in every religion and cult will one

day have to bow down to Jesus Christ… Philippians 2v10+11

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in

heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And

that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to

the glory of God the Father. How about that for POWER!

Surely by now you can see that Jesus Christ is the only way!

- John 14v6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1 John 5v13 These things have I written unto you that believe

on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye

have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the

Son of God. Notice in this verse of Scripture that the Bible says

we can KNOW that we have ETERNAL LIFE! Ask any Jehovah’s

Witness (JW), Mormon, Christadelphian,

Unitarian, Roman Catholic or Muslim etc.

whether they KNOW that they have

Eternal Life! None of them are sure

because their false religion or cult tells

them that they CANNOT be sure.

Take for example Oliver Cromwell.

Cromwell was a devout Christian who read

and lived the Scriptures daily. He is in

Heaven right now as you are reading this

booklet because he asked the Lord Jesus

Christ to forgive him of all his sins! We areOliver Cromwell’s

Death Mask!

confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the

body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5v8.

So again I would urge you to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and

SAVE YOU and give you that peace that HE ALONE can give…

John 14v27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart

be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Such comforting words…

John 16v33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me

(Jesus) ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have

tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Jesus wants you to walk through this life WITH Him so that He

can help you in every decision you make. You won’t believe

what a difference He will make in your life, I can personally

testify of that! I have been following the Lord since 1989 and

He has helped me through every part of my life whether good

or bad, He can do the same for you if you let Him!

To finish with, I have included a Scripture that declares Jesus

Christ to be the TRUE GOD! 1 John 5v20 And we know that

the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding,

that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is

true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and

eternal life. In a day when Christianity seems to be under

attack from all sides, the Bible declares that Jesus Christ is the

TRUE GOD! He alone is our only hope to world peace, a

perfect economy, a perfect environment, love among all races,

food in abundance for all, equality for everyone etc. When He

returns to set up His Kingdom, EVERYTHING will be put right

and RIGHTEOUSNESS will reign!

12

Jesus Christ is coming back very soon…

are YOU ready for His return?

A few challenging questions…

What are you trusting in to get you to Heaven? If your

answer is NOT Jesus Christ and Him alone you will NEVER

make it! You have been deceived and will go to Hell when

you die! That is what the Bible teaches!

What is stopping you from becoming a Christian right

NOW? If it’s PRIDE or anything else, do you think it’s worth

it, knowing that the Lord could come back any second, or

you could die any time? Get saved NOW where you are!!!

Is YOUR pride worth an ETERNITY in HELL?

Are you going to trust Jesus Christ, ‘religion’, the ‘cults’ or

‘yourself?’ If you DON’T trust Jesus Christ, you WON’T

make it… Ephesians 4v21 If so be that ye have heard him,

and have been taught by him, as THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS:

So there we have it, just another booklet amongst billions all

over the world. What are you going to do with this one, throw

it away? Think upon it! What are you going to do with its

MESSAGE? Eternity is a certainty!

I hope this booklet has caused you to STOP and THINK for a

few moments in your busy life. I would be happy to try and

answer any questions you may have. May the Lord Jesus Christ

lead and guide you into all truth and may you get saved before

it’s too late and time runs out…

How to get SAVED

(i.e. to become a Christian and ESCAPE Hell)

Realise you are a SINNER and that you need your sins

forgiven! Romans 5v12 Wherefore, as by one man sin

entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death

passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

ONLY Jesus Christ can FORGIVE your sins! 1 Timothy 2v5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and

men, the man Christ Jesus; Acts 16v31 And they said,

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,

and thy house.

Repent and ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and to SAVE

YOU! Romans 10v9 That if thou shalt confess with thy

mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that

God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

What to do next…

Read the Bible (ONLY get a King James Bible as ALL others

have errors and mistakes in them, the AV Bible is PERFECT!)

Psalm 12v6+7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as

silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them

from this generation for ever.

Find Bible-Believing Christians to read, learn, share, pray

and worship God together with. Hebrews 10v25 Not

forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the

manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so

much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Page 14: I L D a...have yourself to blame! Friend, there is no greater decision you can make in life; YOU choose your eternal destination by the choices YOU make! No matter what you have been

14

Pray to God as often as you can, talk to Him about

everything, asking Him to help you. Psalm 62v8 Trust in

him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before

him: God is a refuge for us.

Do all you can to reach as many sinners as possible before

Jesus Christ returns! Give out Christian tracts and booklets

everywhere you go. If you would like some, write to me.

Millions are on the road to Hell and we need to do all we

can to warn everyone of the coming Judgment. Try to tell

as many sinners as possible about the wonderful love of

God. Proverbs 11v30 …he that winneth souls is wise. (If
