Jesus said, “I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John
14:6)
There are 4 things God wants you to know that you might go to Heaven:
1) KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SINNED
AGAINST GOD
“For all have sinned and come short
of
the glory of
God.” (Romans 3:23)
2) KNOW THAT THERE IS A
PENALTY FOR SIN
“For the wages of sin is death…”
(Romans 6:23)
“And death and hell were cast into the
lake of
fire. This is the second death. And
whosoever was not
found written in the
book of life was
cast into the lake of fire.”
(Revelation 20:14,15)
3) KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST
PAID THE PENALTY OF SIN FOR YOU
“But God commendeth
his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us”
(Romans 5:8)
4) KNOW
THAT GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN
“The gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
There is 1 thing God wants
you to do in order to go to Heaven:
Believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of
the world and personally ask Him to save you and give you the gift of eternal
life. “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 whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9,13) “Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.” (Acts
God promises that He will
save ANYONE from sin and Hell who calls on the Lord Jesus Christ and
asks Christ to be their Savior. Bow your
head right now and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and save your soul. Make this the prayer of your heart:
“Dear Lord, I realize that I
am a sinner and I repent of my sin asking You to be
merciful to me. I now receive Jesus
Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Amen.”
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12)
Baptism is God’s appointed
way of confessing Christ before men. “Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”(Matthew
28:19) “Then they that gladly received
his word were baptized: (Acts
