7. A man once broke all Ten Commandments. He lied, stole, coveted the good things others had, lusted after women, disobeyed his parents, murdered a baby, denied existence of God, and ridiculed those who kept the Sabbath. What will he have to do to escape the fires of hell? There is nothing he can do. Likewise, though you may not think you are as bad as this man, there is nothing you can do either. In God’s eyes, no one is good enough to go to heaven. Fortunately, Jesus said that he came to save sinners (that’s you and me). Because of what He did, it is possible for this man and for you to be saved. The penalty for sin is eternal death, so Jesus died for you. He is God, so He experienced eternal death. He is merciful, so He offers to pay for your sins. But, you must admit that you are a sinner, that you need Him, and that you believe Him. Write to us for a free booklet on how to be saved.
8. A man on horseback went on a two day trip. He left on Tuesday and arrived home on Tuesday. How could this be? The name of his horse was Tuesday.
