Get Your Free Ticket To Heaven
Do you crave good entertainment? Do you like Broadway shows, sporting events, Las Vegas spectaculars, good movies, etc? Do you pay anywhere from $10 to $250 for a ticket to attend one of these short-lived events?
How about travel? Do you like visiting the exotic places of the world - Europe, Egypt, Asia, Australia, or drive the United States from coast to coast? Can you afford the price of the tickets, gas, hotels, food, etc., that goes with it? For those of you who have the money and time to constantly travel and be entertained - congratulations. For those of us on limited funds and hardly enough time - I can tell you how to do all this, and far more, with no money at all. All it requires is that you believe in Christ and have a little patience.
All the entertainment travel and good times we experience here on earth cannot equal anything found in Heaven. If you feel you are missing out on all the good things that this world has to offer because of a lack of funds, or because of sickness or other problems, or because of work, don't fret about it for even one second, because there are better things coming. Your life on earth may only span 70, 80, or even 100 years - not a big deal compared to eternity.
Do not be jealous of anyone because he has an expensive house and can afford lavish entertainment. Someday you can live in a heavenly mansion and enjoy an existence that cannot even be imagined in this world.
So if you crave great entertainment and can't afford it, then set your sights higher than anything that this world can offer. And all of you who can afford all the good earthly stuff - set your sights higher too - because you ain't seen nothing yet.
If you want an eternity of peace, happiness, joy, beauty, etc., and share it with God Himself, then turn your life over to Jesus, and live out your life here, believing and working for Jesus. He's building that mansion for you right now (John 14:1-3).
Don't wait another second. Acknowledge Jesus. Acknowledge that you know that he died for our sins. Accept his gift of forgiveness, salvation and eternal life:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16 (NIV English translation)
It is the greatest gift of all time. And it's free.
