The one and only means of spending eternity with God in heaven is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we cannot save ourselves by good works, good character, personal effort, or merit of any kind, God sent His Son to die as a substitute for sinners like you and me. When the Lord Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, He finished the work necessary for salvation. Now all God requires of you is to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior: \"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved\" (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when you trust in Jesus you are saved and are destined to spend eternity in Heaven. Jesus said, \"He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life\" (John 5:24).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill you accept God's way of salvation? The choice is yours. You may continue to trust in those things listed on page 2. If so, you will go to the grave without Christ and wake up facing God's eternal punishment. Or, you can believe in Jesus Christ and be saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe wise! Choose Christ!

A host of 26 scholars shows how covenant is not only clearly taught from Scripture, but also that it lays the foundation for other key doctrines of salvation. The contributors, who engage variously in biblical, systematic, and historical theology, present covenant theology not as a theological abstract imposed on the Bible but as a doctrine that is organically presented throughout the biblical narrative. As students, pastors, and church leaders come to see the centrality of covenant to the Christian faith, the more the church will be strengthened with faith in the covenant-keeping God and encouraged in their understanding of the joy of covenant life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e672 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781433560033-covenant-theology-biblical-theological-and-historical-perspectives-edited-by-waters-guy-prentiss-reid-j-nicholas-and-muether-john-r.pdf?v=1648425797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eView excerpt here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-section-header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(J.
