God flooded the earth to
destroy all living things
because of man's
wickedness. God says
the thoughts of man's
heart was evil continually.
That sounds like what is
happening in the world
today. The worldwide
flood was God's
judgment against
man's wickedness.
Please keep reading
to learn more.
Genesis
6:5 And GOD saw that the
wickedness of man was
great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually.
6:6 And it repented the
LORD that he had made
man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
6:7 And the LORD said,
I will destroy man whom
I have created from the
face of the earth; both
man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and
the fowls of the air; for
it repenteth me that I
have made them.
After the worldwide flood
God made a covenant
(agreement) with
Noah and his sons
(our ancestors) that
God would never
again flood the whole
earth to destroy all
life. The token (sign)
of that covenant was
the rainbow or as
God calls it in verse
13 below 'a bow in the
cloud'. And because
God keeps His
promises (He can
not lie), we never
have to worry that
there will be another
worldwide flood!
Genesis
9:8 And God spake
9:8 And God spake
unto Noah, and to his
sons with him, saying,
9:9 And I, behold, I
establish my covenant
establish my covenant
with you, and with your
seed after you;
9:10 And with every
living creature that is
with you, of the fowl,
of the cattle, and of
every beast of the
earth with you; from
all that go out of the
ark, to every beast
of the earth.
9:11 And I will
establish my
covenant with you;
neither shall all
flesh be cut off any
more by the waters
of a flood; neither
shall there any more
be a flood to destroy
the earth.
9:12 And God said,
This is the token of
the covenant which
I make between me
and you and every
living creature that
is with you, for
perpetual
generations:
9:13 I do set my
bow in the cloud,
[RAINBOW]
and it shall be for a
token of a covenant
between me and
the earth.
9:14 And it shall come
to pass, when I bring
a cloud over the earth,
that the bow shall
be seen in the cloud:
9:15 And I will
remember my
covenant, which is
between me and
you and every living
creature of all flesh;
and the waters shall
no more become a
flood to destroy all
flesh.
9:16 And the [rain] bow
shall be in the cloud;
and I will look upon it,
that I may remember
the everlasting
covenant between
God and every living
creature of all flesh
that is upon the earth.
9:17 And God said
unto Noah, This
is the token of the
covenant, which I
have established
between me and all
flesh that is upon
the earth.
God says that in the
last days that people
will be willingly ignorant
that as God destroyed
all that lived on the earth
by a worldwide flood
in the near future God
will destroy the earth by
fire in the day of judgment.
It is coming. Please keep
reading because some
good news is coming...
2 Peter
3:3 Knowing this first, that
there shall come in the last
days scoffers, walking after
their own lusts,
3:4 And saying, Where is
the promise of his coming?
for since the fathers fell
asleep, all things continue
as they were from the
beginning of the creation.
3:5 For this they willingly
are ignorant of, that by the
word of God the heavens
were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water
and in the water:
3:6 Whereby the world that
then was, being overflowed
with water, perished:
3:7 But the heavens and
the earth, which are now, by
the same word are kept in
store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly
men.
Now, that good news I told
you about. God wants
everyone to be saved from
their sins and spend eternity
in heaven with him. But you
have to choose to accept
Him and His Way into
heaven. Here is how:
How can I be saved
from my sins and know
that I will go to heaven
when I die? God's Holy
Word, the King James
Bible, tells us how:
Agree with God in
heaven that you are
a sinner and need a
Saviour. GOD SAYS
WE ARE ALL
SINNERS. But keep
reading because
there is Good News
for you:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned,
and come short of the
glory of God;
Be willing to turn from
your sin (repent).
Acts 17:30
And the times of this
ignorance God winked
at; but now commandeth
all men every where to
repent:
Believe that Jesus
Christ, the Sinless Son
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay
for your sins and
mine, was buried,
and that three
days later He rose
from the dead.
Romans 10:9
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.
Repent of trusting in
anything or anyone
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism,
good works, idols,
false gods, $/tithes,
man-made church
rules or traditions,
or religious
ceremonies) to
save you.
Titus 3:5
Not by works of
righteousness which we
have done, but according
to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of
regeneration, and
renewing of the Holy
Ghost;
Jesus said that we do
not get to heaven by our
good works (stuff we
have done). See verses
7:22 and 7:23 below!
Matthew
7:21 Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the
will of my Father which
is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to
me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy
name? and in thy
name have cast
out devils? and in
thy name done
many wonderful
works?
7:23 And then will I
profess unto them,
I never knew you:
depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.
Accept God's Free
Gift of eternal life
through his Sinless
Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. It is a free gift
to you, but it cost Jesus
Christ his life! You do
not have to work to
earn a Gift - It is free!
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of
God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
Ask Jesus Christ to be
your personal Saviour
and Lord of your life.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall
call upon the name
of the Lord shall be
saved.
So, if you did that and
sincerely meant it,
then you are now a
Christian! Welcome
to the family.
Romans 10:9
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.
And when you die, you
will go straight to heaven
to be with Jesus Christ
forever and ever! The
following Bible verse
is one of my favorites.
It gave me comfort when
I went through double
breast cancer surgery
for I knew that if I died
on the operating table
I would immediately be
in heaven with Jesus!
Knowing that is why I
no longer fear what
comes after death.
What freedom there is
in knowing that.
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be
absent from the body,
and to be present with
the Lord.
One note to all dear
Catholics: The Catholic
church says that it is
wrong to believe that
you can know you are
saved before you die.
Please think about
this: God is a God of
love. After all he sent
his Son to die for your
sins so you could be
with him in heaven for
eternity! That is love!
Why would a God of love
want you to worry all of
your life whether you will
go to heaven or hell when
you die? God in heaven
wants us to have peace
and joy in this life as we
live for him and draw
others to him as their
Saviour. Only a cruel
God would want us
worried and stressed
about what comes after
death. But GOD LOVES
YOU and wants you to
have peace knowing that
you are saved now and
can know now that you
are going to heaven when
you die! Please trust your
loving heavenly Father's
Holy Word (the King James
Bible) when God tells you
that you will be with Him
after death if you trusted
Jesus Christ as your
Saviour!
And now that you have
become a Christian, it
is important to learn how
to live a life that glorifies
God in heaven who gave
you the Gift of salvation.

Now That I Am Saved?'
