If you died in the next ten minutes, would you go to heaven or hell? Hebrews 9:27 says that it is appointed for you to die. It also says that after you die, you willbejudged. Are you ready?
You need to understand that after you die, you will be judged.
And The Righteous Judge will sentence you to hell or grant you entry
into heaven. The question then begs to be answered, "How do I get
to heaven?"
The purpose of this page is to explain to you, according to the Bible, how you can get to heaven.
The first thing you must understand is that you are a sinner deserving of hell.
Romans 3:23 says, "...all have sinned and come short of the glory of God".
Romans 3:10 says, "There is none righteous, no not one".
Isaiah 64:6 says, "...all our righteousness are as filthy rags". You see, we are all sinners, and our best acts of righteousness are filthy rags to God.
The second thing you must understand is that there is a price for your sin.
Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death...”
Romans 5:12 says, "...so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned." The price for our sin is death.
The third thing you must understand is the price for your sin has been paid.
In the Old Testament, people were commanded to offer a lamb without
blemish for their sin. When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came He
was called the Lamb of God. He was to be the Sacrifice to end all
sacrifices.
John 3: 16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoeverbelievethin Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:17 says, "...that the world through Him, might be saved."
Acts 4:12 says, "...there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
John 14:6 says, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The only way to get to heaven is through Jesus Christ and what He accomplished on the cross.
The fourth thing you must understand is that salvation is a gift.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works lest any man should boast.
Remember Isaiah 64:6? It says that all our righteous acts are
like filthy rags to God. If you rely on your best efforts, your
best works, your best intentions, you will still go to hell.
Like a gift, salvation needs only to be received. This gift, like all true gifts, has already been paid for!
John 1:12 says, "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".
Do you want to know how to receive the Gift of salvation? Just reach out and grab hold of it! Pray to God, acknowledge
your sinful state, and acknowledge that He paid the price for your sin!
Romans 10:9-10 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.
Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
If you would like to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal
Saviour, and be born again into the family of God by faith, simply pray
from your heart, Dear God, I know I am a sinner. And because I am a sinner I
know I deserve to go to hell. But thank you for loving me, and
thank you for giving me Jesus. And right now I ask you to forgive
me of my sins, and come into my heart and give me your gift of eternal
life. Thank you Lord for saving me. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen!
What comes next? I would like for you to e-mail me or call and
share with me that you have been born again into the family of
God. I will rejoice with you and explain to you what you should
do next.
