Angelina Jolie Removes Breasts

Angelina Jolie announced recently that she has had double mastectomy (breast removal) and reconstructive surgery. She did so in an attempt to prevent breast cancer. "My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent," wrote Jolie in a recent Times editorial. While it's great news that she will probably never get breast cancer, she's still going to die one day... just like the rest of us. What happens when that day comes?

"It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). When you face God on Judgment Day, will you be good enough to get into Heaven? The Bible says, "No one does good, not even one" (Romans 3:12). Using God's standard of good, we can see if that's true. Ever lied? Ever stolen something? Ever used God or Jesus or Christ as a curse word? If yes, that makes you a lying thieving blasphemer in God's sight. The punishment is an eternity in the lake of fire (see Revelation 21:8, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Exodus 20:7). Does this concern you? Are you interested in finding out how you can be forgiven and escape the fires of Hell?

God loves you and wants to forgive you, but He cannot let a guilty person go free without someone else taking a punishment for that guilty person. God sent Jesus Christ to be punished for your sins. Jesus "was despised and rejected by men... He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities... He was oppressed, and He was afflicted... although He had done no violence, and there was no deceit in His mouth... He poured out His soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors... He bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors" (Isaiah 53). Jesus rose from the grave three days later, defeating death and Hell

Jesus paid your fine with His blood and offers you eternal life in Heaven. You must repent (turn away from sin) and entrust your life to Jesus Christ as Lord in order to receive the gift that He offers. Please do this today before it's too late!
