A. HUMAN EFFORTS, as: Living a good life Good works, deed Church membership YES NO _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____

#3. Most people answer question 3 YES. They are trusting their own HUMAN EFFORTS to help EARN their salvation. Gods Word says: All our righteousness (human efforts to earn salvation) are as FILTHY RAGS (Isa. 64:6). Do you know WHY God sees our human efforts, good works, etc., for salvation as filthy rags? YES ______ NO ______ It is because His word says: Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the Scriptures - and rose again (I Cor. 15:3, 4). THEREFORE, when we try to earn our salvation, we are actually REJECTING Christs death which has ALREADY PAID for our sins and salvation. Should we REJECT His payment for our sins and try to earn our own salvation? YES ______ NO ______ LETS SEE HOW GOD SAYS WE ARE SAVED: For by GRACE (mercy) are ye saved, through FAITH and that not of yourselves; it is the GIFT of God: NOT OF WORKS (Eph. 2:8,9). Do you know what GRACE means? YES ___ NO ___ (Mercy which we do not deserve, opposite of justice.) CAN you WORK for a Gift? YES _____ NO _____ How do we get Gods GIFT of salvation? Accept it by faith ______ or Earn it by doing good works ______ WHERE DO WORKS FIT INTO GODS PLAN? Good works SHOULD FOLLOW or be the result of your salvation (Eph. 2:10). They should be a THANK YOU TO GOD for His GIFT of Salvation. CAN HUMAN EFFORTS HELP EARN YOUR SALVATION? YES _____ NO _____ PARTLY _____ #4. Most people answer question 4 that they are NOT trusting Jesus Christ ALONE (100%) for their salvation. Please notice Gods Word: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His SON. HE THAT HATH THE SON hath life (eternal); and he that hath not the SON of God (Christ) hath not life (eternal) (I John 5:11, 12).

NOW, lets see HOW you can have eternal life in Jesus Christ and KNOW it with PROOF. He that BELIEVETH ON (trusts in, depends on) the Son HATH (immediately possesses) EVERLASTING LIFE and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life (eternal) but the WRATH OF GOD abideth on him (John 3:36). What will you have if you BELIEVE ON (trust in, depend on) Christ? (Underline answer above) What do you have without Christ? (Underline also) WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO CHRIST NOW? Do you realize the LORD Jesus Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again? YES ______ NO ______ WILL YOU PLACE ALL YOUR TRUST (100%) IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR YOUR SALVATION RIGHT NOW?

This map shows Gods Plan of the ages from Eternity Past to Eternity Future as recorded in His inspired written word (II Pet. 1:20,21). There are 7 dispensations in the outworking of Gods overall eternal purpose (Eph. 1:9, 10). In each man is given a specific test or responsibility; each ends in failure and this brings judgment. The overall revelation of the dispensational tests show that man is utterly sinful and lost (Rom. 3:10, 23). Salvation in every dispensation is by the GRACE OF GOD (un-deserved, un-earned gift) and is received BY FAITH. Some examples are Abel, Heb. 11:4; Enoch, 5-6; Noah, 7; Abraham, 8-19; Moses, 23-29. See also Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 6:23.
Leon Bates 1969

We are now living in #6, Grace or Church age. This dispensation will end with the return of Christ. He will first return in the clouds to resurrect the DEAD IN CHRIST, to change the LIVING IN CHRIST and RAPTURE or receive them up together to Himself (John 14:1-3; I Thes. 4:16, 17). This event MAY BE SOON -notice the regathering of Israel - SUDDEN (I Cor. 15:52), and a SEPARATION of the saved (born-again, in Christ; John 3:6, 7; Rom. 8:1, 9) from the unsaved. Those who hear the Gospel truth, are convicted by the Holy Spirit to trust Christ to be saved, but refuse and reject Christ to the Rapture will come under Antichrist delusion and eternal judgement. (II Thes. 2:10-12; Rev. 13:14-18; 14:9-11) After the Tribulation Christ will return to earth in His glory to bring His 1,000 year Kingdom (Matt. 24:29, 30; Rev. 19:11-20:6; Jude 14, 15).

JUDGMENT: Rev. 20:11-15 (Eternal Hell)

LAKE OF FIRE

RESURRECTION OF ALL UNSAVED

REV. 20:12, 13

The Tribulation will be Gods wrath on this Christ rejecting world and men will beg the mountains to fall on them to hide them (Rev. 6:12-17). There will be wars and AT LEAST 1/2 THE WORLDS POPULATION WILL BE KILLED (REV. 6:4, 8; 9:15-18)! Men will be scorched with fire, there will be great earthquakes and 100 pound hail. Cities will fall and every island and mountain will disappear, AFTER THE RAPTURE (REV. 3:10; 16:8, 9, 18-21).

The White Throne will be Gods final judgment on all who have rejected His GRACE, BY FAITH salvation. They will be resurrected from all ages, judged, then cast into the Lake of Fire forever (Rev. 20:11-15). NOW TWO QUESTIONS: #1. If the Rapture comes today, will you be taken? #2. Would you like to KNOW you will be with Christ? IF SO, PLEASE FILL OUT THE QUIZ ON THE BACK
