If you find yourself viewing this Homepage...it may very well be that the Holy Spirit has placed it upon your heart to be here at this moment.My name is Bob Lewis and I have been a Christian since 1949.
I was 9 years old when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior and asked Him to come into my heart and take control of my life.
He never promised any Christian or me a "bed of roses". What He DID promise is Eternal Life with Him in Heaven and that He would walk with us while here on earth if we will only admit that you are a sinner, ask forgiveness for your sins, accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior, and commit yourself to following Him. That's what I have found... He is ALWAYS there. Knowing that gives you great peace of mind.
The road to Heaven starts for all people: Rich/Poor; Tall/Short; Weak/Strong at the same place...the foot of the Cross that Jesus died on for our sins.
See...2,000 years ago, God sent His Holy Spirit to this Earth to come upon the Virgin Mary. He caused her to bear a Son named Jesus.
He lived a perfectly sinless life for the entire time He lived on this Earth.
He performed many miracles, all documented in The Holy Bible: He changed water to wine at a wedding feast; He made the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak and the lame to walk; He fed 4,000 people on a small amount of bread and fish once and 5,000 plus their wives and children another time; He walked on water; He calmed the angry sea with His command; He healed lepers; He caused a coin to be in a fishes' mouth straight out of the sea so The Disciples could pay their taxes; He raised Lazarus from the dead after Lazarus had been in a tomb in Bethany for four days...and most importantly...Christ died an Atoning Death for our sins on the Cross at Calvary 2,000 years ago so that you and I could go to Heaven.
He also was buried in a tomb on that day but rose from the dead three days later. That is the day we all call Easter!
If He hadn't done this, we would be hopeless. There would be no way for us to get into Heaven where He is preparing a place for us right now. ALL sin MUST be paid for! If you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior then YOUR sins are bought and paid for by His Death, Burial and Resurrection. If you choose to NOT accept Him, then YOU have to pay the price... by being thrown into the lake of fire, for Eternity on Judgement Day.
Its SO SIMPLE! Almost as simple as the billions of people who refused to believe Noah that there was going to be a flood. They refused to get on the boat! For us, Christ is The Boat. He has VERY BROAD SHOULDERS! Believe on Him, PLEASE! He made at least ten appearances to over 500 people after His resurrection. Many of them were subjected to unbelievable torture to try and get them to renounce their Testimony of
His resurrection from the dead. None did!Within a few days after His resurrection, He ascended into the Heavens on a cloud while on the road to Bethany. Fifty days later, The Holy Spirit, whom The Lord promised would be sent, descended on a group of believers in Jerusalem.
The Holy Spirit's arrival completed the Trinity of: God, Our Father; Jesus Christ, Our Savior and The Holy Spirit, Our Counselor.
You can be a Christian and get into Heaven if you will pray to God that:
1) You know you are a sinner, (a sin is anything that is against the Will of God)
2) Confess your sins to Him,
3) Ask Him for forgiveness for your sins,
4) Ask Jesus to come into your heart as Savior and Lord and take control of your life, and
5) Ask all these things in Jesus' Holy Name.
If you can say the above prayer sincerely and mean it, you will go to Heaven because He said while He was here on Earth that He was The Way, the Truth and the Light and no one comes to the Father except by Him.
By saying the above prayer, you have gone to the Father through Jesus.
You have your ticket. No one can take it away... just as no one can ever change the fact that your parents are your parents... and no one can change that fact... once you accept Christ as your Savior, no one can alter that fact.
You are His forever! Eternally! You need have no fear of death. When you die, your spirit will immediately be in the presence of the Lord.
If you die without having accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you will go to Hell for Eternity where you will be held in an isolated cell until Judgement Day, more on this later.
One other possibility is that the Lord could return before you die, in which case, if you are a Christian, you will rise to meet Him in the air with all other living Christians to be with Him in Heaven for all of Eternity.
Alternatively, and here is the bad news that you have to know and believe:
If you die or if the Lord comes again before you die and you have NOT accepted Christ as your personal Savior, your options expire!
You will go to Hell for Eternity, just as if you had died without accepting Him, where you will be held in an isolated cell until Judgement Day which will come 1,007 years after the Lord comes again to get all Christians (The Rapture).
On that Day, unless you have accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you will be brought before God, The Father, found guilty of never having admitted to being a sinner, never having accepted Christ, His Son, as your personal Lord and Savior and you will be thrown by mighty Angels into the Lake of Fire for Eternity (Please see Revelations, the last Book in the Holy Bible). See, ALL sinners are condemned to death and eventually Hell, unless the price has been paid... and for Christians, Jesus paid the price!.
The ONLY way to remove God, The Father's wrath against YOU is to accept His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16) as your personal Lord and Savior because He has paid the price of your sins with His Blood!.
There is NO other way! No Christian will even be brought before God on this great Judgement Day. Only those who have NOT accepted Christ as their Savior.
Another very important point to remember is: If you ARE a Christian at that time, you will be looking over Christ's shoulder at those who are condemned to the lake of fire for eternity and MAY see them gaze at you as they are carried off asking why you never told them about Jesus.
Please don't let the blood of a friend, relative or loved one be on your hands at that time. Here and now, if you have doubts about someone's Salvation, tell them about our Jesus. It would be better for you to assume someone is lost, tell them about Jesus and find out they are already Saved... than to assume they are Saved, and them be lost.
How long is Eternity? Imagine a little dove sitting on the moon.
Imagine the Earth to be a solid marble ball. Every 100 years the little dove flies to Earth and barely touches one of its wings to the solid marble ball.
By the time the dove has worn the ball to the size of a little marble... Eternity would have just begun!
The nineteenth- century Scottish preacher Horatius
Bonar asked 253 Christian friends at what AGES they
Were converted.
Here is what he discovered:
Under 20 years on age: 138
Between 20 and 30: 85
Between 30 and 40: 22
Between 40 and 50: 4
Between 50 and 60: 3
Between 60 and 70: 1
Over 70: 0
Have you trusted Christ as your personal Savior?
Christ died for your sins; confess, believe and be saved. 1. Cor. 15:1-4.
Faith Alone, in Christ Alone
Believing Christ died, that’s HISTORY.
Believing Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
"SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH A FRIEND"
Don't delay your decision to accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
Please do it now.
He wants you just as you are...regardless of the kind of life you have led.... or how old you are.
He wants you JUST AS YOU ARE!
PLEASE turn your life over to Him and spend Eternity in Heaven with Him. I beg you in Jesus Name.

PS: Please let me add this note from a friend regarding helping others. It touched my heart and I hope it will yours... and maybe you know some one that needs to hear/read this:
"Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad."
-- Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) "I have mentioned this in the past and it is rather sad when you consider what great comforts and freedoms we enjoy here in America, but the current costs for treatment of depression related illnesses now exceeds the costs for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse combined. And much of the alcohol and drug problems are a result of, you guessed it, depression. King Solomon tells us that anxiety in the heart of man causes depression. And anxiety is a powerful thing, as is vividly defined by Webster this way, "Concern respecting some uncertain thing, or event or future, which disturbs the mind, and keeps it in a state of painful uneasiness." I think that Solomon provides an easy, inexpensive antidote for treating depression, encouraging words to make the heart glad. A word in due season.
"The problem with us human beings is that we are oft times so self-absorbed that we do not recognize when a friend, or family member, or neighbor, or co-worker needs our support and encouragement. We are too busy, or we are wrapped up in our own problems, or we just don't care. Depression breaks the human spirit (a deep sadness if you're there now or have been there before) and that leads to a defeated life. Many a broken spirit is compounded by a life that is devoid of a personal relationship with the Lord. The fact is, we only need God (His Grace is sufficient), but add frequent cheerful words of encouragement from someone who cares and the recovery will be quick and complete. Today, may God grant you the wisdom to know where you can help prevent or mend a broken spirit and make a heart glad!
"A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken." -- Proverbs 15:13 (NKJV)
Be encouraged, be hopeful, have a blessed day!
I love you in Jesus,
Bob
