"Heaven, how
do I get there?" is one question we all have to ask ourselves. Our
society has been filled with one person’s teaching after another. We
have to remember that eternal life depends upon the very Word of God.
The way to KNOW how to get to Heaven is by going to the Word of God, not
another man’s teaching. To get to Heaven we must know and believe
these four things:
WE ARE ALL
SINNERS:
Romans 3:10: "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one."
Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory
of God."
Every person who
walks the face of the earth has done wrong. Have you ever told a lie?
Have you ever taken something that was not yours? Have you ever had a
bad thought? Everyone has done wrong.
Do you believe
this?
THERE IS A PENALTY
FOR OUR SIN:
Romans 6:23a: "For the wages of sin is death…"
Revelation 21:8: "But the fearful,and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
We all know that we
must die physically someday. Just pick up any newspaper and read the
obituaries and we see that people die every day and at every age. After
physical death, there is also spiritual death. We decide now while we
are living, the place where we will live after physical life – Heaven
or Hell. The penalty for our sins is death in Hell. If we get what we
deserved it will be death in Hell.
JESUS CHRIST
PAID THAT PENALTY FOR US:
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."
God loved us so
much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for us.
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life."
Jesus Christ is
God’s gift to man. A gift is FREE. All you have to do to receive a
gift when someone is handing it to you, is to reach out and take it.
TRUST AND TAKE
JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR:
Romans 10:9, 10, 13:
"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 with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved."
Friend, why don’t
you bow your head right now. Pray, and ask Jesus to forgive you of your
sins to come into your heart and save you.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner. I
deserve Hell. I realize that You died on the cross to save me. Please
forgive me. Please come into my heart and save me now. I am trusting
only in You for my eternal salvation. Help me now that I am saved to
serve you faithfully. Thank you, Lord Jesus. – Amen
Did you do the
above? You will go to Heaven; not by what man teaches, but by God’s
Word.
Titus 1:2: "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began."
