I See Dead People

Millions of people presently walking upon the face of the earth are dead and they don't realize it. You may be one of them. To find out if you are among the living or the dead, honestly answer the following questions.

Have you ever told a lie?
Have you ever stolen something?
Have you ever hated someone? Jesus said that you have committed murder in your heart by harboring anger or hatred toward someone.
Have you ever taken God's name in vain?

Then, by your own admission, you're a lying, thieving, murdering, blasphemer at heart. You are guilty of breaking God's Law (The Ten Commandments). Not only does God see you as guilty; He also sees you as dead in your trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1). Finding you guilty of breaking His Law, He will sentence you to eternity in hell, as the just punishment for your sins against Him.

Although tragic, there's good news. Two thousand years ago, God the Father sent His Son Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to take upon Himself the punishment sinners rightly deserve for their sins against a holy God when He shed His innocent blood and died on the cross. Three days later, He defeated sin and death when He rose from the grave.

As a result of Jesus Christ's perfect life and shed blood, you can have peace with God, have your sins forgiven and inherit eternal life, but you must be "born again" (John 3:3). Being born again is a supernatural work that only God can do when He transforms your heart and gives you new desires. Once you are born again, God will enable you to repent (turn from your sins) and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation.

Please consider these things carefully. When you stand before God, you do not want to be counted among the dead; but those who have received the free gift of eternal life that only He can give.

Please read Mark 8:34, John 14:6 and Matthew 10:34-39.
