Heaven
The Bible Says You Can Know
I John 5:13
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the S0n of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
God makes it clear in His Word that we can KNOW that we have eternal life. He does not want us to die without Him. In fact, God lays out the perfect road map to understanding how we can know for sure that we are on our way to Heaven.
II Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Everyone Is A Sinner
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
The first stop on God’s road map is to realize that everyone is a sinner. The word “all” includes you and me. No one can live a perfect life and, therefore, we all fall short of God’s glory.
There Is A Price On Sin
Romans 6:23a
“For the wages of sin is death…”
The next stop is realizing that our sin comes with a penalty. That penalty is death, but the Bible specifies something else.
Revelation 20:14
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
The Bible says that the penalty for sin is not only physical, but is also a spiritual death. The eternal penalty for our sin is death in a place called Hell.
Jesus Paid For Our Sins
Romans 5:8
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried, and rose again so that we could have eternal life. Because Jesus paid for our sins, He can offer us the gift of eternal life.
Romans 6:23b
“… but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Anyone Can Be Saved
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.”
The final stop on God’s road map is realizing that we must believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and accept His payment for that sin.
If you would like to accept His payment for your sin, please bow your head now and pray something like this. Realize also that it is not the words that save you, but the belief in Jesus’ payment.
“Dear Jesus,
I know I’m a sinner, and that I can not get to Heaven on my own. I know you came to Earth to die, be buried, and rise again for my sin. I accept your free gift of eternal life today. Thank you Jesus for dying for me. Amen.”
If you prayed that prayer and believed it, we’d love the opportunity to rejoice with you in that decision! Please use the button below to contact us and let us know about your decision.
