What Can A Dying Man Do?

As long as you have life, you can repent and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation. Only the dead are without hope.

"No one is so bad that he cannot be saved, and no one is so good that he need not be saved. All who are saved will be saved by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ." - Adrian Rogers

Some think they are too wicked to be saved. They may be murderers or rapists, but as long as they have life, they can repent and turn to Jesus for their salvation.

Others think they are good enough to save themselves. They don't murder or rape. They don't cheat people of money. They even do charity. Their friends think they are good and nice people. But they did not stop to consider what is God's KPI. Some may even think that He does not exist.

Certain tasks are the exclusive work of God. Salvation is one of them. No one can save themselves. Only God can save because only God can forgive sins. Those who think they can save themselves are already committing blasphemy.

"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mark 2:7 ESV)

"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)

Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:30-31 ESV)
