EVA:What is most important to you?

   If you were apporached on the street and asked, "What is most
improtant to you in life?" - what would you reply? Perhaps your answer
would be like one on the cover of this tract...or perhaps you would
say, "I never really thought about it, but I agree, it is worth
thinking about."

   The most important thing in life to most of us is our QUALITY OF
LIFE NOW and our ETERNAL DESTINY. Don't you agree YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
NOW and YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY are important TO YOU also?

   Aren't you glad that God did not make us ROBOTS? He gave us minds
with which we can reason and choose. God wants our love and obedience,
but ONLY as an act of our will and choice. The Bible, God's Word,
declares, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans
3:23) God is sinless and our sin makes eternal separation from Him
necessary unless there can be some way of salvation. (Isaiah 59:1,2)
Now comes our decision...we can choose to accept or reject God's terms
for our salvation.

   Like most people, you may already have some hope of heaven. Upon
what do you base that hope? In other words, why should God let you into
His holy, perfect, spotless heaven? Please write your answer here:

   My hope of getting to heaven is: ___________________________________

   Are you depending on some form of your own human effort for
salvation?

   YES ___________ NO ___________ PARTLY ___________

   Now, you may be surprised as we compare your answers to the Bible,
God's Word: All our righteousness (human efforts to help earn our own
salvation) are as filthy rags -- in God's sight. (Isaiah 64:6) Many
will say to God in the day of judgement: Lord, have we not done many,
wonderful WORKS? But He will say to them, "I never knew you: depart
from me -- " (Matthew 7:21-23)

   You may be wondering, WHY does God view our human efforts to help
earn salvation as "filthy rags"? It is because He has already provided
FULL PAYMENT for our salvation and when we try to help earn it, we are
actually REJECTING HIS PAYMENT. The Bible says, "For God so loved the
world (including you) that He GAVE His only begotten Son (Jesus
Christ), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. He that believeth not on Him is not condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten
Son of God." (John 3:16, 18)

   You may be like many people who say, "No one ever explained this to
me before!" And if you are wise, you certianly don't want to reject
God's gracious, loving offer of salvation. It was paid for by the death
of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.

   Your next question may be, "If I can't even HELP earn my own
salvation, what must I do to meet God's TERMS for my salvation --- what
must I do to be saved?" The "GOOD NEWS" of this tract will answer your
questions. God's terms are clear! "Believe on the Lord Jesus Chrsit and
thou shalt be saved --." (Acts 16:30,31)

   What does it mean to believe on Christ? It is more than believing
ABOUT Him. We must abandon all other hope! We must no longer try to
EARN our salvation. We must TRUST, DEPEND, RELY on the shed Blood of
Christ ALONE, 100%, as the ONLY payment for our sins.

   By God's grace, I will stop trying to earn my onw salvation and from
this moment on, I will BELIEVE (TRUST, DEPEND, RELY) on the death of
Christ ALONE, 100% as the ONLY payment for my sins and salvation.
