-You Are A Sinner
The first fact that you need to realize in life is that you are a
natural-born sinner, a natural transgresor against God: "For all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. "As it is
written, there is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10. "Behold, I
was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm
51:5.
=A0=A0=A0=A0Most people have the false idea that we all LEARN to be
sinners as we grow older and are influenced by evil, but this isn't
true. God's word declares that we are all sinners by nature. We are all
transgressors against God.

Absolutely definitely true. 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Bravo!

-You Are Going To Die
Death isn't a very popular subject, but it is certainly a very REAL
subject. Sooner or later, your heart will beat for the last time, your
loved ones will mourn over your passing, and your body will be laid to
rest in a grave. It's a fact of life. People die, and the Bible tells us
WHY:
=A0=A0=A0=A0"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned." Romans 5:12.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. Why do people die? People
die because people are SINNERS. Do you remember the story of Adam and
Eve in the garden of Eden? It wasn't until AFTER they had sinned that
they were subject unto death. God told them in Genesis 2:17 that they
would "die" when they ate of the forbidden fruit. Before man had sinned,
he was ABOVE death, not subject unto it. Today, however, we are all
sinners, because we have all inheirted our sin nature from Adam. We must
all die, just as Adam died (Genesis 5:5).

Mostly true. 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. Myriads of mortal authors
have loved and wrote extensively about the subject, particularly
about Death and Hell--the Inferno, Limbo, and Purgatory--Spheres
of Heaven & Hell, and the Paradisio--Empyrean, Crystalline Focus.

Plus the thousands of gifted psychic mediums who communicate with
the dead, and ghost hunters, paranormal investigators, who are by
persistence confronted by first-hand evidence of ghostly activity.
As they say, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. :)

And whether they talk about it openly or not, all mortal men fear
"what dreams may come" in the hereafter, a.k.a. the "undiscover'd
country", etc. So Death and Hell may not appear on the surface to
be a popular subject, but rest assured it's arguably the number 1
most popular subject on every feeble, mortal, human mind... that,
and sex! Death and Sex. Those are the two "biggies" of the world,
albeit the love of gold & silver gives them a run for their money.

It would be nice if more people thought about major arcana things,
heavenly, GOLDEN treasures. But that's not the way of the profane.
The world could do with more of the "other self", and less of the
"self"--more of God's Golden Rule, and less of man's Rule of Gold.

-You Will Be Judged
God is the All-powerful Creator, the Supreme Commander of the Universe.
He is in complete control of all people, places, and things, so no one
should think it unreasonable that God intends to judge all men. We must
all give account to our Maker.
"For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Ecclesiastes 12:14. "And as
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."
Hebrews 9:27.
It may be a terrifying thought, but it is still the truth: YOU will
stand before God and you will be judged by Him. Every sin that you have
ever committed will be revealed--EVERY SECRET SIN! You may have managed
to hide many things from your fellow man, but you have hid NOTHING from
God. He knows all things, and He will hold you accountable. You WILL be
judged.

Again, absolutely definitely true! 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.
Excellent usage of the word "terrifying". Terrifying indeed.

-You Can't Save Yourself
When God judges this world, millions upon millions of people are going
to be absolutely SHOCKED to find out that NO ONE--ABSOLUTELY NO ONE--was
able to earn their way into Heaven. People have the false idea that
they'll be permitted to enter Heaven as long as they "do more good works
than bad." The word of God tells us just the opposite: "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.
"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth
the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5. "But
we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as
filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the
wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6.
The "good works" that you do are only good in YOUR eyes. In God's sight,
you are a hopeless sinner, and your works are totally unacceptable. If
you are counting on your own righteousness to save you, then you are
setting yourself up for a very big disappointment. "For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own
righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that
believeth." Romans 10:3-4.
=A0=A0=A0=A0The Bible clearly states that we are all cursed with sin,
and that we are all totally incapable of earning our salvation by our
own righteousness. Friend, unless your SINS are removed, God will NOT
accept you. You are hopeless.
=A0=A0=A0=A0Your Only Hope Is The Lord Jesus Christ
When you are ready to accept the fact that you are a lost and dying
sinner and that your "good works" are unacceptable to God, then you can
begin to see your need for Jesus Christ. He came into this world to lay
down His sinless life for YOU--to pay for your sins, because you
couldn't. Jesus is your only hope for salvation. Only by receiving Him
as your Savior can you enter the gates of Heaven. There is no other way.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father but by me." John 14:6. "Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12.
The Lord Jesus Christ has come and PAID for your sins by shedding
His own Blood on Calvary. By receiving Him as your Savior, you can be
WASHED from all your sins in His precious Blood (Rev. 1:5; Col. 1:14;
Acts 20:28; I Pet. 1:18-19). Notice these important words from Romans
5:8-9: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by
his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
=A0=A0=A0=A0Jesus PAID your way to Heaven for you! By receiving Him as
your Savior, you will be receiving God's ONLY means of Salvation for
you. Are you willing to forsake YOUR righteousness and receive Jesus
Christ as your Savior, your ONLY HOPE for Salvation? Romans 10:13 says,
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans
10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved."
Are you willing to forsake your own righteousness, and ask Jesus
Christ to save you? Why not pray right now and ask the Lord to come into
your heart and cleanse you from all sin. He will save you just as He
promised. That's a fact. Why not receive Him today?

10 on a scale of 1 to 10, with the caveat that you had better read
the whole bible. Be sure and read *all* of the extant testimony of
Jesus recorded in the ancient Judeo-Christian scriptures (I prefer
the Latin Vulgate translation), then decide for yourself who's who
and what's what. Don't let would-be "priests" be your intercessors.
Don't get caught in the "free-ride Christian" trap! Whatever karma
you're liable for to the third part, you're liable for to the last
penny--whether your soul be saved or not! Here's a memorable quote:

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall
be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever
speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
--Matthew 12:31-32 AV
