Steps of Faith for the Deaf

Hello,

Is your name in the Book of Life?

“And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15

”And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life;

and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according (as to) their works (what they did). Revelation 20:12

Wow !  That is serious ! That is eternal life—forever and ever !

If you want to go to heaven —-then you need to make sure your name is in the Book of Life.

How can you do that?

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou (you) shalt (shall, will) be saved.” Acts 16:31

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13

“He that hath (has) the Son (Jesus) hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not life.

These things have I written unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God that ye (you) may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” I John 5:12-13

(If you do not believe on the Son of God —you do not have life eternal.)

You need to believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay your death penalty (punishment) for sin.

You need to confess your sin to Jesus and ask for forgiveness.

When we do that—we need to do it with the thoughts that we intend to stop doing sin and begin to obey God’s word in the Bible and do what pleases God.

God will forgive your sin and the Holy Spirit will help you live in a right way.

It does not matter who you are or what sin you have done—-God will forgive your sin.

Then you need to learn what God wants you to do how he want you to live. Read the Bible. Find a Bible with easy words so you can understand.

Obey and trust and pray —ask God to show you how to live to please Him.

You need to “stay with Jesus” until you die. You will know your name is in the Book of Life.

Good-bye for now. I’ll write again.          Sincerely, Joyce Webb
