THE FREE GIFT

    No doubt if you clicked onto this page, you were interested in obtaining something for free. I have great news! There is a free gift and it's called ETERNAL LIFE! It is available to you right now, no matter who you are or where you may live. You can only obtain eternal life one way; and that is through faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior!

    You may be thinking, "not religion, I don't want religion..." I have good news for you friend! I'm not talking about just another religion. Religion is really just a system of rituals and other "works" that people use to find favor with a certain "god". No, what I'm talking about is something religious works can never attain. This is a personal relationship with The Most High God, The Creator, and The Sovereign Ruler of all Creation!

    Why? The Bible says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). The Bible also says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). This means that we are not able to obtain eternal life by our own merit. We are all guilty of some type of sin. We need a saviour and the Bible says that the savior is Jesus Christ.

    You may be thinking that you are a good person and you don't need this free gift of Eternal Life. The truth is, no matter how good you and I try to be we can never be good enough to deserve Heaven. Maybe you think you could make it to Heaven without Christ since you may have not killed anyone or something. Would you like to take a little test to see if you measure up to Gods standards? Here goes:

    That was only three of the Ten Commandments. Not many people, including myself, can say that they have perfectly lived up to Gods' standard when compared with just those three; and there are still seven more on top of these! My question is, how do you think you would measure up if today were judgment day? I'd say probably not very well. The Bible even says that if you break one commandment, you are guilty of all! (James 2:10) This is the reason why everybody needs a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    The answer is, He loves you! That's right! The God that created the Universe thought enough of you to crucify His only Son on the cross for the wrong things we have done in our lives. The Bible says, "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). The Word of God also says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Isn't that awesome? God loved us so much that He willingly sacrificed His only Son! It is because of the Blood of Christ, the Perfect Sacrifice, that now our sins can be taken away and not remembered against us ever again! A contemporary version of the Bible says "God gave Him as a way to forgive sin through faith in the blood of Jesus' death" (Romans 3:24 NCV).

    This is the hard part. My friend, if you reject this free gift, and die in your sins, you will face eternal punishment. I'm not trying to scare you or condemn you, but sadly many good people will suffer eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire simply because they didn‘t accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I don't want anyone to face this and that's why I am presenting this message to you, even if it costs me a few whip orders or even more! As a God called Minister of the Gospel, it is my duty to sound the alarm that there is danger ahead for all that will not receive Jesus Christ. God is a God of justice; he will not allow unrepentant sinners to go unpunished. The good news (or gospel) is that He is also a merciful and loving God that has made a way for you and I to escape the coming judgment!

    As with every "give-away", there are terms and conditions to receiving this gift. The first step is to Believe! Believe that God loves you and sent Jesus to die for you. In the Bible (Acts 16), God caused an earthquake to free the Apostle Paul and his helper Silas from a jail cell, afterwards, the scared jailer asked them, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?". Paul and Silas answered by telling him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house". That very night, the jailer and his family received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and were baptized.

    Confession: This is not where a person goes into a little room and tells a Priest all the bad things they have done. No, that won't get you into Heaven. I'm talking about confessing Christ! Have you confessed Christ as your Lord and Savior? It's important! The Bible says, "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". The Bible is very clear here, you must "believe in" and confess Christ! If you do these things the Bible doesn't say "maybe you'll be saved". It says you will be saved!

    The Bible also enjoins repentance with the salvation experience. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...". Repentance in the Greek means to "change your heart" or to reconsider. Many look at repentance as turning away from our evil ways and feeling sorry for the wrong things we done. The Bible says, "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death". Have you repented of your sins?

    Are you ready to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior? Perhaps as you've read this you've felt something inside you that is telling you that you need to be saved. If you are feeling that way it is because God is drawing you! Why don't you receive Christ now? Here's a prayer you can pray:

    "Lord, I come to you confessing that I am a sinner in need of a saviour. I realize that my works are not enough to get me to Heaven. I need You. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and that You raised Him from the dead. I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. Lord, forgive me of the sins I have committed and make me a new person. Lord, help me follow your Holy Spirit as I walk with you. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen"

    If you just sincerely prayed this prayer and accepted Christ, you are now a Christian! This doesn't mean you are "religious", but you now have begun a personal relationship with God. God doesn't want you to be a mindless robot. No, you don't have to wear a suit all the time and always quote scripture. God created you to be a unique individual. He just wants to change the bad things about us and make us better. You can still be a cool person and be a Christian. Sure, God will help you change the things in your life that doesn't please Him, but He will do it in His own way and in His own timing as you follow Him.

    Getting saved is only the first step to being a Christian. God didn't intend for Christians to be alone in the world. There are many other things you will want to do, like being baptized and meeting other Christians. This is why Christ established the Church. Most people think the church is a building where a group of hypocrites meet up on Sunday to gossip. No, it's not that at all! The church is the collective body of all those who are saved! I encourage you to look for a good Bible believing fellowship and begin to meet with them. Keep in mind that no assembly of believers will be completely perfect. While all Christians should seek to live in a manner that sets a good example for others, remember that we are all human and we still make mistakes. Don't go into a church looking for perfection in it's members or clergy, but go looking to find a group of imperfect people who are serving a perfect God. Go to church to learn about God and how to be a better Christian. Read your Bible as an instruction manual for your life. I encourage you to pray and ask God to lead you to the church he wants you to attend!

    Thank you for taking the time to read this page! If you have just became a Christian, let me know! I want to pray for you and be a further help to you. If you have more questions, the Helpline of TVU Christian Music Television (not affiliated with Rhett's Whips) may be able to assist you. Just call 1-877-949-HELP weekdays between 4pm and midnight pacific time. It's confidential and free! If you want me to help you, feel free to email me!

    Even if you still do not agree with the message I have presented to you, I rejoice that you have now heard the message of the Gospel. I present this because it is what I have found to be truth in my life. I once was an Atheist, but God, through Jesus Christ, has changed my whole life. I want to share that with you! You may wonder why I have placed such a controversial message on a website tailored toward selling whips? Let me put it like this; if there was a collapsed bridge in the middle of a highway on a very foggy morning, you would want someone to stop you before you drove off of it, right? If I knew the bridge was collapsed and did nothing to stop people from perishing into the river, I would be partially responsible for their death, right? Well, that's why I am doing this. You see there is danger ahead and it would be wrong for me not to warn you about it. I realize this may cost me a whip order or two, but I don't ever want to be accused of hiding my faith just to be popular.

Thank you for your time and God bless you!
