Gospel Tract for My Upcoming Mission Trip to Norway

I have written a tract for my upcoming mission trip to Norway--a tract that will be produced by Marv Plementosh. Here's the artwork and the text (English and Norwegian).


Fredrik Meltzer, a member of the parliament, designed the current flag of Norway in 1821. The colors were chosen because they represented freedom in the international community. The red and blue represents Norway’s partnership with Denmark and Sweden, respectively. The Nordic Cross represents Christianity. Sadly, only 5% of Norway’s people attend church on a regular basis. Norway has forgotten the cross. A great country’s flag no longer represents the hearts of her people. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin . . . So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:34, 36). When you die and stand before God, you will give an account for your life. If you’ve ever lied, stolen, taken God’s name in vain, harbored hatred or lust in your heart, or sinned against God in any other way, He will judge you a slave to sin. God’s punishment for sin is eternity in Hell. God has provided only one way for you to receive forgiveness of your sins, true freedom, and the joy of eternal life in Heaven. God the Father sent His Son to earth in the person of Jesus Christ—fully God and fully Man, who knew no sin. He voluntarily went to the cross where He shed His innocent blood and died, taking upon Himself the punishment you deserve. God the Son subjected Himself to the wrath of God the Father in order to pay the ransom (the sin debt) for many. Three days later, He defeated sin and death when He rose from the grave. What God commands you to do is repent (turn from your sin and turn to God) and, by faith alone, receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Look again at your nation’s flag. True freedom is only found in the cross of Jesus Christ. Turn to Christ and live.

Frank Meltzer, et medlem av parlamentet, designet det norske flagget i 1821. Fargene ble valgt fordi de representerte frihet i et internasjonalt samfunn. Det røde og blå representerer Norges samhold med Danmark og Sverige. Det nordiske korset representerer kristendom. Dessverre er det bare 5% av nordmenn som regelmessig går i kirken. Norge har glemt korset. En stor nasjons flagg representerer ikke lenger nordmenns hjerte. Jesus sa "sannelig sier jeg dere, alle som praktiserer synd er slave av synd...så hvis sønnen setter deg fri er du virkelig fri.(Joh.8:34 og 36) Når du dør og står foran Guds trone må du stå til ansvar for ditt liv, hvis du har fortalt en løgn,stjålet noe,misbrukt Guds navn,begjært eller hatet noen, eller syndet mot Gud på noen annen måte, vil han dømme deg som en slave av synd. Guds dom for synd er en evighet i pine i helvete. Men Gud har ordnet det sånn at du kan få tilgivelse for din synd og arve evig liv og glede i himmelen med han. Gud fader sendte sin sønn Jesus Kristus i menneske skikkelse, fullt menneske og fullt Gud, som ikke hadde eller gjorde synd. Han gikk frivillig til korset hvor han utøste sitt blod helt uskyldig for deg og døde. Der tok han på seg straffen som du fortjener. Guds sønn Jesus Kristus ble gjort til synd for deg og Guds vrede ble fullt utøst på han på korset for mange mennesker. Tre dager senere stod han opp igjen og beseiret med det døden gjennom sin oppstandelse. Gud befaler deg å omvende deg (snu fra din synd og til Gud) og ved tro alene motta Jesus Kristus som din herre og frelser..Se en gang til på det norske flagget, ekte frihet er bare funnet i Jesu kors. Snu, og omvend deg til Jesus og vinn livet..
