Where are they Now?

by John Davis

All the people on the front and back cover have influenced millions all around the world in some way, whether good or bad! I personally never met any of them, and now they have all died. Every opportunity to meet them here on earth has gone. No matter how much I liked or disliked these people, most of them I will never see; but a few of them/ certainly will!

Let me explain …

There is life after death! Once you have died, you do NOT cease to exist, you will spend eternity somewhere. Death is NOT one long sleep as some make out. Your soul, the real you, will live forever in one of two places, Heaven or Hell. We are here on earth for a very short time, and then we pass into eternity. Most people enter eternity unprepared, and once there, it is too late to change things. Where you spend eternity, all depends upon what you believed and who you trusted in, while you were here on earth, remember that! Because of this, I would like to direct a few thoughts, comments, and questions to you now …

There is a good chance that you and I have never met, but I do hope we shall meet in the future. You see, I know that when I die, I shall go straight to Heaven. I will live there in perfect peace, love, and health, with no fears or worries, and I will never experience sadness, sorrow, or death ever again. What a place that is going to be! I would like to see you there also!

But this is where the problem lies …

To go to Heaven you have to be PERFECT i.e. ‘sinless!’ If you have committed any of the following sins you will NEVER make it into Heaven … Have you ever … Broken the Law? Lied, cheated or stolen anything? Looked lustfully at anyone? Sworn or taken the Lord’s name in vain? (Blasphemy) Used deception for personal gain? Hated or not forgiven someone? Broken a promise? Committed adultery or fornication? Felt bitter towards someone regarding the success of another? Had a hard, sarcastic unyielding attitude? Picked flaws and criticised someone because you went unnoticed? Shirked from duty and responsibility? Been violent and abusive? Had unclean thoughts? Watched something sinful on TV or the Internet? Had an unthankful and unappreciative attitude? The list is endless!

Who can stand innocent in regard to this list of sins? None of us! Just ONE of those sins will keep you OUT of Heaven! You see, you can ONLY go to Heaven if you are PERFECT, and NONE of us are! So what can we do in such a helpless state? The ONLY way of getting into Heaven is to have ALL your sins forgiven and washed away, and it is ONLY the Lord Jesus Christ who can do that. This is the reason why He came to earth, to SAVE sinners like you and me! … Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners …

Jesus Christ took our sins, was punished in our place and died on our behalf. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Jesus Christ, after becoming the perfect sacrifice for us, rose again the third day. He now offers His perfect righteousness to anyone who will accept it.

In other words, He takes our sins and offers us His perfect righteousness instead, so that we can go to Heaven when we die. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Have you asked Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins? If you haven’t you will never make it to Heaven, as there is no other way of getting there.

You cannot work or earn a place in Heaven. 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. ‘Salvation’ is a FREE GIFT from God. Have you accepted it, or have you rejected this gift? Jesus Christ is that free and unspeakable gift, refuse Him and you will only reap what you have sown, i.e. you will never go to Heaven when you die.

Remember, just one sin will keep you OUT of Heaven and all have sinned, therefore we NEED our sins FORGIVEN, and it is ONLY Jesus Christ who can forgive them; no priest, pope or ‘religion’ can forgive your sins, ONLY the Lord Jesus Christ can. Going to church, being baptised, taking the sacraments or trying to ‘work’ your way to Heaven by doing ‘good deeds’ will NEVER save you from Helli! Out of all the famous people on the front and back covers, I know of only three, maybe four of them, who are now in Heaven. The others I could not say for certain of where they are right now, but I do fear that they died IN their sins, rather than having their sins forgiven by Jesus Christ … yet they ALL had the opportunity of getting saved.

Where will you go when you die, Heaven or Hell? If you are trusting in anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ to keep you out of Hell, you’ll never make it! Only Jesus Christ can save you! … the truth is in Jesus … Friend, if you have never asked the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins, you will never go to Heaven, no matter how good you think you are. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. If you would like some free Christian literature, please email us below.
