Attention Offender, Please Read! This is NOT a parking ticket. In fact, this is not a ticket for any violation of any laws here on earth. It’s much more serious than that. This ticket is for your violations of a much higher Law - an eternal Law. One that we will all be judged by on Judgment Day. One of the most aggravating things about today’s society is the unwillingness of people to take responsibility for their actions. Perhaps you will not be the same. With an honest heart, read the reverse side of this ticket to find out the accusations against you.
Back of Tract:

(Check All That Apply)
[X] 1. Failed to Put God First

As you can see, the above offenses are not against man-made laws. They are against much higher, eternal Laws. The list above is God's holy Law - The Ten Commandments.... If you were giving yourself a ticket, which of the above would you have checked? How about number 9? Have you told lies in your life? If you have, that shows that your nature is to lie. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” If you tell lies, it shows that your heart is corrupt. How about number 8? Have you ever taken something that didn’t belong to you? That shows in your heart that you’re a thief. The Bible says that no thief will inherit the kingdom of God. Let’s try number 6. Have you ever murdered anyone? You may think you’re safe from that one, but Jesus said that if you even hate someone, you’re a murderer-at-heart. Here’s one more - number 7. Have you ever committed adultery? You might say that you’re not even married. But Jesus said that even looking at someone with lust is the same as committing adultery with that person in your heart.
Can you see the problem? The Bible says “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9) Since your heart is corrupt, the things that you do are corrupt and can never please God. What you need is a new heart. God says “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26) There is nothing YOU can do to give yourself a new heart. GOD must give you one. All you can do is cry out to God to be merciful to you. Realize that there is nothing in you that can please God and then humble yourself before Him.
For God to be just, He cannot simply forgive you. You broke His Law, and the fine must be paid. If the fine is not paid, your punishment for breaking God’s Law is eternity in hell. The only way your fine can be paid is if God pays that fine himself. 2,000 years ago, God took on human flesh and came to this earth in the person of Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life where you and I could not. God’s wrath came down upon Him on the cross... Instead of on YOU. You broke God’s Law and Jesus paid your fine. Then He proved he was God by rising from the dead. Cry out to God for a new heart - one that will please him. Then read your Bible daily and obey what you read.
