To go be with Him, He provided the way.  Must choose to believe in what He did to save us from the sins that keep us from heaven.

 That He came to earth to die for all sins, 100% God, 100% man, perfect.  The only begotten Son of God.  The Lamb of God. 

The required sacrifice, shedding of blood.  Beautiful sacrifice of love.

Believe He died, was buried and rose the 3rd day.  The Savior of the world and tell Him you need Him to be your Savior.  You will be saved, receive the Holy Spirit, rapture ready, forever with Him in heaven.

Warns if reject, won’t  have sins forgiven and will not go to heaven, but hell.  

Be saved today, forever with Him.
