Facts Each Must Face

Life Is Short: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down" (Job 14:1-2). "What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away" (James 4:14). Death Is Certain: "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Heb 9:27). The strength of man's mind and the wealth of the world have been spent from earliest times to find a way to escape the fate of death. Still, all die. Eternity Is Long: "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal" (Matt 25:46). Judgment Is Sure: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works" (Rev 20:12). "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body" (2 Cor 5:10). There Is Only One Plan of Salvation: Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). Salvation is available to all alike only through obedience to his gospel (Rom 10:16; 2 Thes 1:8). The conditions God has set forth in the Bible to be saved are:

1. Believe on Jesus (Acts 16:31; John 8:24; Acts 8:36-37);
2. Repent (Acts 2:38; 17:30; Luke 13:3, 5);
3. Confess Christ (Matthew 10:32-33; Acts 8:36-38; Rom 10:10); and
4. Be baptized (immersed) for remission of sins (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16); 5) Live faithfully unto Death (1 John 1:7; Rev 2:10; Matt 10:22; James 1:12).
