![Page 6: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Eternal life is a free gift!
The Bible says,“…The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Romans 6: 23).
Heaven1.
...to be with God

And because, HEAVEN IS A GIFT,
like any other genuine gift:
IT IS NOT EARNED OR
DESERVED
No amount of:
Personal effort…
Good works or…
Religious deeds…
can earn eternal life.
![Page 8: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“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.” (Ephesians 2: 8, 9).
WHY is it that no one can earn his way to heaven?
The reason is quite simple...
![Page 9: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MAN
THE PROBLEM IS:
WHAT WE ARE!
MAN IS A SINNER(Man is depraved, not deprived)
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 3: 23).

![Page 10: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is sin?
All sin is breaking the law of God.
It includes such things as: lying lust cheating deceit anger evil thoughts immoral behaviour and more.
AND BECAUSE OF THIS…
![Page 11: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We Are Totally Incapable of Saving OurselvesHelpless – YES! Hopeless –YES!
Yet, this doesn’t stop some from trying.
![Page 12: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If you wanted to save yourself by good deeds,
do you know how good you would have to be?
The only standard God could accept is absolute
perfection.
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5: 48).
![Page 13: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
With such high standards, we cannot save ourselves.
HOWEVER, IN SPITEOF OUR SIN….
THE SITUATION IS NOT HOPELESS.
![Page 14: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3 God
GOD IS MERCIFUL
The Bible reveals that God doesn’t want to punish us. He is a God of Love
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten (unique)Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
But the same Bible tells us that God is Light….
![Page 15: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Bible Says...GOD IS JUST!
and therefore must punish sin.He says...
“… the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18: 4).
![Page 16: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM
God loves us andwants us to be saved
But He is just andmust punish sin.
Thankfully, this is a problem God has already solved.
How?
![Page 17: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4 JESUS CHRIST
WHO IS HE?
The Bible tells us clearly that He is the eternal God yet he became a
real man.
...God was manifested in the
flesh... (1 Tim 3:16).
He solved this problem in ...
![Page 18: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
His life was holy, sinless and pure.
…But why did He come into the world?
Jesus Christ was completely different from you and me …
![Page 19: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
THE BIBLE SAYS
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
(1 Timothy 1: 15).
He rose from the dead and now offers you eternal life
as a free gift.(1 John 5: 13).
![Page 20: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Jesus Christ bore our sins in His body on the cross and now
offers you eternal life (heaven) as a free gift.
This gift is received by faith...
![Page 21: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
5 FAITH
IS THE KEY THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO HEAVEN.
![Page 22: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Many people mistake 2 things for saving faith:
Saving faith is not mere INTELLECTUAL ASSENT,
like believing certain historical facts.
The Bible says that the devil believes there is one God.
so believing that there is one God is not
saving faith.
1.
![Page 23: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2Others think faith is an emergency measure in
times of crisis for financial, family, or physical needs.
But this is temporal faith
Now these are good, and you should trust Christ for
these, but this is not the faith that saves us eternally.
![Page 24: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SAVING FAITH
Is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and eternal life.
It means resting upon CHRIST ALONE and on His sacrifice at Calvary to save you.
You give up trusting in yourself or your church or your religion.
![Page 25: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
“...Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ; and thou shalt be saved….” (Acts 16: 31).
Nothing else is necessary. Nothing less will do.
![Page 26: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
You have just read the GREATEST STORY
ever told about the GREATEST OFFER
ever made about the GREATEST PERSON
Who ever lived
JESUS CHRIST.
It’s decision time!
![Page 27: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVETHE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE?
![Page 28: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Because this is such an important matter…
Let’s clarify just what it involves.
It means that you need to:
Away from what you can do to what Christ has done for you
on the cross.
TRANSFER YOUR TRUST
![Page 29: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Therefore… by grace you are saved
through faith and that not of your selves, it is the gift of God not of
works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2: 8-9).
When The Lord Jesus died on
the cross He said…‘It is finished’.
![Page 30: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR…
As many as received Him to them gave He the right to
become the children of God. (John 1: 12).
![Page 31: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
He says: “Behold I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My voice, and open
the door, I will come in unto him… (Revelation 3: 20).
![Page 32: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS LORD
Give Him full control of your life
YOU MUST REPENT
Change your attitude to yourself and your sin.
Be willing to turn from all known sin in your life and turn simply to Him.
Now, if this is what you really want…

For with the heart man believeth unto salvation...
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.”(Romans 10: 10, 13).
![Page 35: The Vital Question Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56813aa4550346895da29de9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
