Your eternal destiny depends upon your decision.

This is why this concluding section is written as an extended invitation to you to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, not only as a great teacher and prophet, but as the eternal Son of God, the only Savior of mankind, the final message of God to man.
A desperate man asked the apostle Paul and his fellow worker Silas

"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" (Acts 16:30).

That man felt the heavy burden of sin, the agony of guilt, and the fear of the coming day of judgment.  He wanted to be saved from all of these.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31 NKJ)

was the answer of Paul and  Silas.  The desperate man believed and was saved and his heart was filled with joy.
You can do as he did.  Think about Jesus Christ, His sinless life, His love for His enemies, His love for sinners, and His forgiveness.  Think about His death on the cross for you, to pay the penalty for your sins -even before you were born.  He knew everything about you even before your birth.  The prophet David said:

You can be saved if you confess your sins to God and put your trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.  He said:

Jesus Christ is not a way, but He is the only Way.  He does not just tell the truth, He is the Truth incarnated.  He does not point us to life, He is the Life.  The apostle John says:

The apostle Peter says:

In the Gospel of John we read:

When you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, it means that your name is written in the book of life.  It means you will be with God in heaven on the Day of Resurrection.  You will never enter Hell or pass over it.  On the other hand, you have to expect that while you are on earth you will be persecuted, afflicted, imprisoned, and possibly even executed for the sake of Christ.

Jesus said to His disciples:

That is the price of your faith in Jesus Christ, but in all your afflictions for His sake you will never be left alone, you will always feel his presence, for He promised:

In addition, you will be rewarded with great reward:

This is the destiny of those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
