What if you died today? Even while reading this tract, you could be having a slight pain in your chest or head. Within a few hours, you could be dead of a heart attack or brain hemorrhage. You might think that could never happen to you. However, the Bible states, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appearethfor a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:14). Even if you are in excellent health, you could be killed in an auto accident today. Do you remember the shock you felt the last time you heard someone you knew was killed in an accident? They certainly never thought that death would come so suddenly to them. Perhaps these will be the last words you will ever read! You cannot escape death! "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27). Maybe you are thinking, "If I would die today, I'm ready to go; after all, I've never done anything really bad. I don't believe that a merciful God would send me to hell." The Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23). "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a). "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

(Revelation 21:8). According to God's Word, it does not matter how good you are. You deserve to to burn in the lake of fire for ever and ever!
However, there is good news. God provides a way of escape, because He has given you a Saviour, "...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
(Romans 6:23). "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16). Please stop for a moment and read that last verse once again. How does the Bible say that you can have everlasting life? It does not say that you can have everlasting life by trusting in some church or saint! "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12). The Bible does not say you can have everlasting life by doing good works! "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9).
You can only get everlasting life by completely trusting Jesus. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath ofGodabideth on him." (John 3:36). Why don't you admit to God that you are a hell-bound sinner. Admit to Him that you are willing to turn from your sinful life and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. If you will do that with a sincere heart, God's Word says that you can know for sure that you have eternal life. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:13). This is not just a coincidence that you are reading this tract. God planned for you to read it and not someone else. This could be your last warning!
Will you reject Jesus? The Bible states, "...he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18b).
Will you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour? Remember, salvation does not depend on feelings or on an emotional experience. It is based on what God has promised in His Word. God promised, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13). Call on God today. Don't put it off another minute! If you will accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, please pray this prayer or one similar to it: Dear God, I admit l am a sinner, going to hell. I know that I cannot save myself. I repent of my sins and put my faith in the blood that you shed for me on the cross to pay for all my sins. 1 now accept you as my Saviour and trust you to take me to heaven. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
