Before we begin, would you answer three helpful questions?

1.  What have you been told that the Gospel is?

2.  If you died tonight and stood before God, and He asked:  "Why should I let you into My heaven?" what would you say?

3.  If you died right now, do you know with absolute certainty that you would go to heaven?

Could you answer:

Yes!  I am absolutely certain that I would go to heaven.

or

No, I do not know with "absolutely certainty" that I would to heaven.
