The urgency to give this last invitation and warning seems self-evident due to the current events. No one can continue to ignore the fulfilment of the numerous prophetic predictions. All the remaining unfulfilled biblical prophecies are in the process of coming to pass. The Prophet Daniel was told, “... shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” (Dan. 12:4). Only when the time comes for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled are we given the understanding for it.

Every reader herewith is given something to think about, to seriously consider this issue. After all, this concerns you personally. God has a plan for humanity which is very clear and right before our eyes. Signs and wonders alone are not the decisive biblical criteria. Also the atmosphere, which can be created, does not count before God. With Him all things must be right. Now the same proclamation of God’s Word and the same practice of the apostles must be found together with the scriptural faith in God’s Word, based and anchored in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

With true respect, all who have the fear of God and belong to the Church of Jesus Christ will believe the »message of the hour«, receive the promises for this last period of time, and expect and experience their fulfilment. Before the return of Christ everything must be brought back to its rightful order according to the Bible and be restored to its original state, as spoken of in Acts 3:21 in view of the Return of Christ, “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

Eternal life and salvation are not given automatically by some religious act or institution. Everyone must have a personal salvation experience with God through faith in Jesus Christ, who was crucified and rose victoriously. This is accomplished by the faith that comes from hearing the Word of God — the full gospel, by the faith in the redemption and forgiveness; it becomes the power of God within us (1. Cor. 1:18).

Each one of us must have these personal experiences to regain the relationship with God. A biblical conversion to Him, a new birth by the Spirit (Jn. 3:6), the attainment of the assurance of salvation (Rom. 8:16), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4, a. o.) are the required experiences. We will receive the seal of the Holy Spirit only after the acceptance of the Word of Truth (Eph. 1:13). God reconciled humanity, including you, with Himself in Jesus Christ, our Lord (2 Cor. 5:19). Thus true faith is connected to the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Let yourselves be reconciled with God!”

In conclusion, may this be said: There are people who believe that God is found in every religion, and they regard Jesus Christ as one of the many religious founders. That truly hurts. Our Lord and Saviour is as distant from the rest of the religious founders as heaven is from the earth. Faith in Him is faith in God Himself, which gives eternal hope and salvation. It is an insult to our Lord to compare Him with any self-appointed prophet. They all died and were buried with their ideas, and not one of them rose from the dead. They were human beings like we are and could help neither themselves nor save others. Those who followed them will end up where they are. For ever there is only One Who could say, “I AM the way, the truth and the life”! Those who follow the Lord will be where He is. In Jesus Christ God personally met with us, only in Him can we meet God personally. There was only One in all the history of mankind through Whom the heavenly Father has manifested Himself on earth. That is in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. In Him He made us sons and daughters of God, “ ... having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will” (Eph. 1:5).

Right towards the end, before the Return of Christ, there will be fellowships of believers under Christ the Head, not an organisation but rather a living organism — the Body of Christ. The mighty spiritual breakthrough to the uncompromising, original Word proclamation and practice according to the pattern of the apostles within the Bride-Church of the Lord is close at hand, thus will the “Completion of the Reformation” be realised. As it was at the beginning during the apostolic days, so will it be now at the end. The Book of Acts is still the only valid pattern before God for the New Testament Church. Bible days are here again! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.

Dear Reader,

I hope these plain words will not cause you to be upset, but rather help you to see a guiding light leading towards heaven, showing the right way of escape. The faith which brings salvation is not found in a dead religion, but rather in the living Lord who rose from the dead, was taken into Glory and will come again. There truly is only this one way, that all those who want to be saved have to walk. Whoever desires to reach the eternal goal has to let go of everything which is not of divine origin, leave all religious traditions and turn to the Lord.

Belonging to a religion has nothing to do with the salvation of the soul, which comes from God alone. There is no sacrament, no religious act that can offer salvation. The Saviour only can save, and redemption is only found in the Redeemer. For it is written: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (Jn. 3:36). The sincere faith in the one true God, Who revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, is required from each individual person (Jn. 17:3).

Those who pledge to do the right things, having good intentions, will find out that they do not work out or lead them closer to God. Our justification before God comes through the faith in Jesus Christ. It is a free offer of grace that is being presented to humanity. You can make your decision for eternity right now. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, shall truly become a redeeming message for you personally.

Come to believe right now in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who took all your sins away and is merciful unto you. You may call upon His Name, as many have done in the times past. Salvation has been experienced by all true children of God throughout all the ages. No one needs to be misguided any longer or perhaps be misled by the statement that things will be alright anyway. They can only be right in eternity after death, if they are made right during life before death. Everyone can personally experience the salvation of God and receive the assurance that they have been pardoned and accepted by the Lord.

Please try now, as we are ending this exposition, to talk with your Saviour in prayer. Just speak to Him in faith and believe that the following scriptures and all of God’s Word are still applicable and valid today for everyone personally. Therefore also you can pray, “... Who forgiveth all my iniquities, who healeth all my diseases …” (Ps. 103). You should be assured that the Lord, our Saviour, calls you right now with the same words as He did then, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28). Also the next verse is still in force, “… him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (Jn. 6:37).

“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (Jn. 3:3). Only someone who has experienced the new birth can truly submit himself to the Will of God and will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of God.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (Jn. 1:12-13).

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins … “ (Col. 1:14).

For it is written:

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” (1 Jn. 5:11-12).

May the following scripture become true with all readers who call upon the Name of the Lord, “I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee; behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2).

This day can be the most meaningful and important one in your life!

In this pamphlet we could only touch briefly on a few points. For all those who were spoken to by the Spirit of God and desire to know more about Him and His plan of salvation we have literature available which is based only on the Holy Scriptures. It certainly was no accident but ordained by God that this simple brochure fell into your hands.

With all my heart I wish you the blessings of the Almighty God.

»Free Peoples Mission« was founded in 1960. It is an evangelical biblical interdenominational mission for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. We serve people in over 140 countries with literature in many languages and also provide audio and video cassettes of our sermons by request. All material is being sent out free of charge. No bills are issued. Money and prisces are not mentioned. Since the beginning, the entire mission outreach has been done through the free will offerings of God’s children, even until today. »Free Peoples Mission« is recognised as a non-profit association, serving only religious purposes in sharing the end-time message world-wide.

The missionary Ewald Frank, the editor of this tract, has personally visited well over 120 countries. He has held citywide evangelistic campaigns and has spoken by radio and TV to entire nations. As Bible teacher he was called to speak in international seminars, sharing God’s Word with the ministers on every continent.

Every first Sunday of the month he ministers in his home church in the Krefeld Mission Center. The special meetings are attended by believers from many different countries. As it becomes necessary the service can be translated simultaneously into 12 different languages as needed.
