] 1 .. omplete oofiden€ A rn you confident yonc pfans will succeed' Most of us would freely admit we have had plans go wrong. Often these setbacks had little to do with how smart or dedicated we are. Perhaps we lacked good information, or another duty took priority. Maybe we reached the goal, but not by our original deadline. Our plans might have failed because the people entrusted with certain tasks failed to carry them out properly. After all, no one is perfect...right? Then what confidence do you have in your plan to get to heaven? Are you relying on your own good works to earn admission to God's eternal paradise? Are you trusting in some religious system created by men? This is no time to take your chances. Wouldn't you rather be sure? Only one person is perfect-Jesus Christ, who is both God and man. He will never fail you, and He provides the only way to heaven. The Bible tells us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Yesterday. In the past, Jesus Christ came to earth to tell us about God and to die for our sins. When He came back to life, He proved that nothing, not even death, could prevent Him from accomplishing His plan. Today. Right now, you can accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Put your confidence in Him. Believe that He died, was buried, and rose again to pay the penalty for your sin. Ask Him to forgive you and save you from eternal death in Hell. Forever. In the future, Jesus Christ will welcome you to His heaven-you will live forever because of Him! Since He is God, He loves you and has all the power necessary to make certain that His plan for you comes true. You can depend on Him. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time" (1 Peter 1:3-5). Please read the following verses in the Bible to learn more about God's plan of salvation: Romans 3: 10-12; I Corinthians 15: 1-4; Romans 5:6-8; Hebrews 1: 1-3; Romans 10: 10-13.
