Can you tip the scales?
Are you counting on accumulating good deeds to earn God’s
acceptance? Avoid the big mistake!
All it takes is one
weak link.
You might be a
good person. But
… perfect?
According to the
Bible, “whoever
breaks one
commandment is
guilty of breaking
them all” (James
2:10).
All it takes is one defect.
One hole in a pan is enough to lose everything.
The Bible warns that
“no one is put right
in God’s sight by
doing what the Law
requires” (Romans
3:20).
All it takes is one slip.
One rotten egg spoils an entire omelet. One bad decision can ruin
even well-intentioned plans. The Bible says
“everyone has
sinned” (Romans
3:23).
Guilty as charged!
Sinners don’t deserve Heaven. Left to themselves, guilty sinners
deserve death!
“Sin pays its wage –
death” (Romans 6:23).
Hurry! Get the doctor!Let’s say you’re in an automobile accident and break a leg and a few
ribs. What would you do?
Many keep waiting for the day they think they’ll finally be “ready” to
get right with God. But the Bible teaches that “now is the time of
God’s favor, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Son is sacrificed to save many
A Track Inspector had to
decide: sacrifice the lives of
hundreds of passengers or his
son, who was playing in the
bridge gears which had to be
lowered.
“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” (John
3:16).
Hanging in the balance
“Salvation is to be
found through him
alone” (Acts 4:12).
Pray right now, accepting
everything Jesus has done
to forgive you, and giving
Him Your life.
Avoid the big mistake: don’t rely on your own good deeds but on
Christ!
