Tract Number 43

     There is only one reason men and women go to Hell, and that is to reject the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.  There are many steps that lead a man to Hell.  Here are a few:

 1. IGNORE THE BIBLE AS GOD’S WORD.  To ignore the Word of God is to help doom your own soul to Hell.  The Bible is God’s record to warn each of us of eternity.  In it we find the way of Eternal Life.  The Bible says:  Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

2. SHUN THE PREACHING OF GOD’S WORD.  God has chosen the preaching of the Bible to convict us of sin and to tell us of the Saviour who died for us.  To shun the method God has chosen is a sure way to end up in Hell.  1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

3. DESPISE THE CROSS OF CALVARY.  On a hill far away stood and old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame.  And on that old cross died a Saviour for your sin and mine.  To despise or hate what the Cross stands for will place you another step toward the pits of hell.  The Cross of Calvary is an emblem of Salvation.  It was on the Cross our sin debt was paid in full so we could have Eternal Life.

4. AVOID THE ALTARS OF REPENTANCE.  People everywhere are trying to get to Heaven their own way.  To repent of our sins is the only way acceptable with God.  To avoid the altar of repentance will close Heaven’s door to our soul.  Man must realize he is a wicked sinner before God.  After he realizes he is a sinner, he must repent of his sin.  A failure to do so is tragedy to the soul.  Many Churches have taken out the altars.  Those who have not taken them out don’t use them any more.  Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

5. TRAMPLE THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST UNDER YOUR FEET.  The Blood of Jesus Christ is the only thing that will wash away our sins.  The Blood can wash away the blackest sin man could ever commit in this life.  Thank God for the Blood of Calvary.  There is a fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Emmanuel’s veins, and sinners plunged beneath the flood lose all their guilty stains. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

6. REJECT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR.  To reject the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour is to reject the only plan God has to redeem your soul.  To say “NO” to Jesus Christ when He knocks on your hearts door is to say that He died in vain for your soul.  It is to say that the death of Christ was of no value.  The fact is, He is the ONLY way of Salvation.  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
