How
to Get to Heaven
- There
is only one way a person can get to Heaven.
- If
you will take a few minutes to read this page, you will learn that
way. If you are unsaved, please read on.
First,
you must realize
that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:10-12 - As
it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is
none
that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They
are
all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there
is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:23 - For
all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Second,
you must
understand the penalty for the sins you have committed.
Romans 6:23a - For
the wages of sin is death;
The death metioned
in Romans 6:23a is twofold.
First of all, it refers to physical death. Since you are a
sinner,
you will eventually die. It is also refering to spiritual
death.
In other words, Because you are a sinner, if you die unsaved you will
go
to hell. Hell
is
a place where you will spend all eternity burning while being seperated
from
God.
Revelation 20:14-15
-
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second
death.
Revelation 14:10-11
-
. . . and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of
the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of
their
torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor
night
. . .
Third,
you must
believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for your
sins.
Romans 5:19 - For as
by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of
one shall many be made righteous.
As Romans 5:19
states,
because Adam ate of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and
Evil, every man is born a sinner. Because we are all born
sinners, we must pay God's price for our sins.
Romans 5:8 - But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23b - but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Because God loves
us, he
sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins
in
our place. Jesus was perfect. He never sinned in His life,
and
because of this He is the only one who could pay the penalty for our
sins.
Because Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world, anyone may
accept
His gift of eternal life.
How
do you accept
Jesus as your Savior? Read on. God clearly tells us in His
Word what is required for salvation.
Romans 10:9 - 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.
Romans 10: 13 - For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you believe: 1)
that you are a sinner, 2) that as a sinner you will die and go to hell,
3) that Jesus came and died on the cross for you sins, all you have to
do is pray and ask Jesus into your heart, and you will be saved.
If you would like to ask Jesus into your heart, please bow your head
now and pray to
ask Him to save you. If you're not sure what to say, below is a
sample prayer you could use, but you do not have to pray exactly those
words to
be saved.
"Dear Lord
Jesus, I know that I have sinned against You. I realize
that because of my sins, I deserve to die and go to hell. But I
believe that you died on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me
of my sins, and come into my heart to save me. Amen.
I John 5:13 - These
things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of
God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son of God.
If you prayed and
asked God to save you, then you are saved for all eternity, and there
is nothing that you, or anyone can do to cause you to lose your
salvation. Also, as the verse above says, you can be 100%
sure that you are saved.
