I believe that a person in order to make an educated choice must first be educated.

I recently heard an analogy that goes like this "Suppose that your father died and left a will to the living family, but you did not have time to read it so you did not bother. Then shortly you saw your mom driving a Jaguar, and you brother buying a mansion, and so on, but you're living in a cardboard box on the side of the highway, because you did not bother to read the will..." You see this is what Satan wants, he wants us to not read our will (the bible) because if we did we would be heirs to all of the glories in heaven, so he tells us lies like "The bible is boring", or "Jesus isn't important"; he does this to keep us from going to heaven.

There was a man a few centuries ago who saw in a vision what hell was and he said that after seeing that he would not wish it on his worst enemy.

Do you know how simple it is to receive eternal life?

Do you realize that eternal life means going to heaven and that the bible clearly shows how to get into heaven and it clearly shows that it is not by works alone but by the grace of God... what this means is:

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IS TO ACCEPT JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD AND YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR

It does not mean read the bible everyday.. many religions teach that to get into heaven you must say chants, mantras, or vain repetitions, such as "OM" or "50 Hail Mary's". Nowhere in the book does it say that you must do anything but believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord to get into heaven. In fact the bible says it is not by works that you get into heaven! This means you can be a wonderful person, always helping the poor, or working at a soup kitchen, or kind, or loving, but if you do not accept Jesus as Lord, it will not get you into the gates of heaven. All of the other things you do in the gospel (like reading the bible, going to church, helping others) give you rewards once you are in heaven, but it is not needed to get there.

I also recently heard this analogy about eternity: imagine picking up the grains of sand off every beach in the world one by one; those millions of grains of sand each grain representing a year. That would not even be an eternity. Now where would you rather be living? In a literal lake of fire or in a paradise that has golden streets and rivers that you can swim in with out worrying about holding your breath. You can breathe under water.. and every person has a mansion all to themselves...

Eternity is too long to be wrong.

There are a few more intriguing things like: who gets to go to heaven first, what will happen when Satan sends us the antichrist.
The end of the world is coming quick. Almost all of the end time prophesies are being fulfilled or have been fulfilled about the Second Coming of Christ..

I saw a bumper sticker recently...

Most people who are waiting for the 11th hour to accept Jesus as Lord.. Die at 10:30
