There Is A God In Heaven Who Will Save Your Soul From Hell
There is a God named Jesus who wants to save your soul from hell. Salvation is not in a plan but in a person named Jesus who wants to save your soul from hell. Acts 4:12 tells us Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Paul said at 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. And Romans 10:13 tells us For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved.
Right now friend anywhere allow Jesus to save you. Repent, stop sinning, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Jesus won't reject anyone that accepts him as Lord because Jesus said at John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Don't let your past sins stop you from getting saved with Jesus. Remember Jesus is able to save the most wretched sinner on this earth because Hebrews 7:25 promises Whereby He (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him (Jesus) seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.
How Harlan Sanders And Ty Cobb Got Saved At An Old Age
Harlan Sanders and Ty Cobb waited until they were old men to get saved. The bible tells us to get saved at a young age to avoid the troubles of this world and have peace. Ecclesiastes 12:1 says Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them. Statistics prove that most people get saved between the ages of 15 to 30. After the age of 30, the chances of someone getting saved is very slim because older people get set in their ways and refuse to change their untrue beliefs.
But remember all things are possible to them that believe and even a stubborn old man or woman can get saved if we continually witness to them and pray for their salvation. Harlan Sanders and Ty Cobb were old men that got miraculously saved because people continued to share Jesus with them. Take time to read below about the incredible testimonies of how salvation happened for Harlan Sanders (who invented Kentucky Fried Chicken) and Ty Cobb (one of the greatest baseball players ever who was one of the meanest men to ever live).
Colonel Harlan Sander's Incredible Testimony About His Salvation
In his autobiography Colonel Harlan Sanders who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) said that he was always a God fearing man. In every venture he gave God a tenth of the profits. Yet he knew that if he died God probably wouldn't take him to heaven. Worried, he traveled to Australia to a special church convention for the answer. He didn't find it.
One day Sanders was walking down a street in Louisville Kentucky when Reverand Waymon Rodgers of Louisville's Evangel Tabernacle invited Sanders to a revival. Several days later Sanders went. At age 79 Sanders claimed the promise of Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Sanders said that when he walked out of Evangel Tabernacle that night I knew I was a different man. All my tithing and all my good deeds had never given me the sense of God's presence that I knew then. Colonel Harlan Sanders got gloriously saved at the old age of 79. This proves that it's never too late for anyone to get saved. Keep praying for and witnessing to your unsaved loved ones that are elderly. As long as someone is breathing, there is always hope that they can get saved and live eternally with Jesus.
Ty Cobb's Incredible Testimony About His Salvation
Ty Cobb was one of the greatest baseball players who played 3033 games, led the American league for 12 years in batting average, and batted over 400 for four years. Ty Cobb had the reputation of being one of the meanest men on this earth. But before Ty Cobb died as an old man, he got miraculously saved and the blood of Jesus washed away all of Ty Cobb's sins and made him white as pure snow.
A preacher explained to Ty Cobb God's plan of salvation while he was in the hospital. Ty Cobb listened with perfect attention. As he was told how Christ came to save sinners and of his incomparable love for us, Ty Cobb accepted the Lord Jesus and got gloriously saved. Ty Cobb put his complete trust in Jesus to save him.
Ty Cobb told everyone how comforting it was to put his complete trust in Jesus. Two days before Ty Cobb died he said, I feel the strong arms of God underneath me. It is wonderful to be able to pray. Ty Cobb died peacefully in the christian faith. He never once mentioned baseball before he died. Ty Cobb was wholly occupied with the God who made him and redeemed him through His Son Jesus Christ.

Ty Cobb said you tell the boys I'm sorry
it was the last part of the ninth inning
that I came to know Jesus Christ
I wish it had taken place in the first half of the first inning
that I came to know Jesus Christ.
There Is A God In Heaven Who Speaks To His Children
How comforting that the Holy Spirit speaks to saints and gives them answers to overcome any problem. Isaiah 30:21 tells us And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying This is the way; walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left. God can speak to anyone anytime by His Holy Spirit . Exodus 33:11 says that God spoke unto Moses face to face as a man speaketh unto his friend. God is no respecter of persons; If God spoke to Moses, God can speak to you friend and give you answers to overcome all your problems.
God spoke comforting words of guidance to Paul on the ship as a theophany Angel of God (or visible manifestation of God) when Paul testified at Acts 27:23-24 saying For there stood by me this night the Angel of God (theophany that was Jesus) whose I am, and whom I serve, saying Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar and lo God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
Notice that everyone on the ship got saved from a storm because God spoke to one man named Paul. Everyone on the ship survived the storm and floated safely on boards and broken pieces of the ship to the shores of Melita. Like Paul, you might be the only way of salvation for your entire family or neighborhood. You might be the only person that can get the gospel to your family or neighbors. Be faithful and always tell people everywhere you travel how to be saved. Remember Jesus told us at Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Finally, the scripture that proves that the Holy Spirit speaks to God's children is when the Spirit spoke to Peter to witness to an Italian centurion named Cornelius. Acts 10:19 says While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold three men seek thee; Arise therefore, and get thee down and go with them doubting nothing; for I have sent them. At first Peter did not want to preach Jesus to the Gentiles, but God's Spirit spoke to Peter and corrected him saying God will save Gentiles along with Jews. And after Peter obeyed the Spirit and visited Cornelius, Cornelius got saved and filled with Spirit.
There Is A God In Heaven Who Is Soon Coming Back
The Coming Of The Lord Is
A Comforting Hope 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
A Challenging Hope Titus 2:12-13
A Cleansing Hope 1 John 3:1-2
First, the coming of the Lord is a comforting blessed hope. Jesus said to comfort one another with these words from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorent brethren concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel (Michael) and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Next the coming of the Lord is a challenging hope. Titus 2:12-13 tells us Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. In other words when we look for the blessed hope of Jesus' soon return in the clouds to catch up his saints, we should be challenged to live soberly, righteously, and godly always ready to meet Jesus without sin or shame. Remember all the blessed witnessing we do for Jesus will be rewarded at the bema judgment seat that occurs immediately after the saints are caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds. Jesus will judge the quick and the dead in Christ at his appearing in the clouds with rewards.
Finally, the coming of the Lord is a cleansing hope. 1 John 3:1-2 says Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved now are we the sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when He shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this (blessed) hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
In other words when anyone looks for Jesus to return soon in the clouds he purifieith himself and determines to live holy and not be ashamed when Jesus returns. Take heed to the warning from 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. Remember the blessings you will receive if you abide and constantly live holy each day for Jesus. The bible says you can ask for anything and receive it if you abide daily and live holy for Jesus. Jesus said at John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
There Is A God In Heaven Who Supplies Your Every Need
The bible says that Jesus will always supply the needs of His saints. Philippians 4:19 promises But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Always remember my saved friends everywhere, Jesus will always pay your bills, always provide you with food and clothes and shelter, and always heal all your diseases. Just don't sin; Live holy each day for Jesus and God will take care of all your needs. Stay in the Word daily, keep praying, and always attend your local church services and God will take care of all your needs.
Remember what God did for others He will do for you. In Exodus, God provided and supplied the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness. In 2 Kings 4:1-7 God supplied the widow woman with vessels of oil to pay her debt and live off of the rest. And in John 6:1-14 the Lord supplied enough food (fishes and barley loaves) from a little lad for thousands of people to eat and there were leftovers.
There Is A God In Heaven Who Will Secure You After You Get Saved
Once saved always saved. Friends you can't lose your salvation which is secured after you get saved. This is proven by the following scriptures. Philippians 1:6 promises Being confident of this very thing that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 1:12 assures us For the which cause I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that His is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.
Don't worry my friends you can't lose your salvation because the Lord Jesus is keeping you and not your good works. Jesus told us at John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me; And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them me is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. In other words, I might look like a rooster, but I've never been plucked. Thank God Jesus is holding me and I'm not holding Jesus; Hallelujah Jesus secures my salvation. No man (not even yourself) can pluck you out of the Lord Jesus' hand.
Finally 1 Peter 1:5 promises that we are kept by the power of God (not our own power and works) through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. This gives us an assurance and confidence to know that we have a secure salvation sealed unto the day of redemption by Jesus. After salvation God will give a person a witness to know that they are saved. This is promised by 1 John 5:13 that says These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, they ye may know that ye have eternal life (in other words if someone doesn't know they are saved they are not saved) (After salvation you'll get a witness and know you are saved with eternal life). The Holy Spirit that anyone receives at salvation is like the wind. You can't see the wind but you can feel the wind and get a witness of your salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit living in you.
