How to get to heaven...

1. Have you ever told one lie? Then you are a sinner and have missed the mark of sinless perfection. Therefore, the wage you will receive for your sin is spiritual death in the lake of fire. (See Rom 3:23, Rom 6:23, 1 John 1:8, Rev 20:15)

2. To go to heaven, you have to be perfect. One sin and you can’t get in. Salvation is a free gift. There is nothing you can do to earn it. No amount of going to church, keeping the commandments and living a good life will save you. Without the righteousness of Christ you will not go to heaven. So how do you get there? (See Rev 21:27, Matt 5:48, Eph 2:8-9, Rom 3:20, Rom 4:5, Titus 3:5, Gal 2:16)

3. God, in His love and mercy, made a way possible. To show you how much He loves you, God the father sent His Son Jesus Christ to be sin for you and die in your place, paying your sin debt in full, so you wouldn’t have to. Because Jesus Christ is God, He is the only one qualified to take away all your sin. Jesus Christ shed His precious blood for you at Calvary when He died on the cross for your sins. All your sins (past, present and future) were placed on Him. He was buried, signifying that all your sins are put away, never to be remembered again. Three days later He rose again from the dead. He then appeared to the twelve disciples and then to over 500 people at once. Later he ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God. All of this proved that God the father was satisfied with His payment for your sin. (See Rom 5:8, Isa 53:6, 2 Cor 5:21, 1 Pet 2:24, 1 Cor 15:1-4, Rom 4:25, Col 2:13-14, Col 1:14)

4. The one and only thing you must do to be saved is believe in Jesus Christ, that He shed his blood for you by dying on the cross for all your sins (past, present and future) and that He was buried and three days later he rose from the dead. (See John 1:12, John 3:16, John 5:24, John 6:28-29, John 6:47, Acts 13:39, Acts 16:30-31, Rom 4:5, Rom 5:1)

5. Once you believe in Jesus Christ, the Bible says He gives you everlasting life. You cannot lose something that last forever. If you could, it would not be eternal. Therefore, nothing you ever do can or will separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. You are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise until the day of redemption. This is how you can know you are saved, because the object of your faith is Jesus Christ, not yourself, and He cannot lie (See 1 John 5:13, Titus 1:2, John 5:24, John 6:37-40, John 6:47, John 10:28-29, Rom 8:38-39, Eph 1:13-14, Eph 4:30, Psa 37:28, 1 Pet 1:5, 1 Cor 1:7-8, Jude 1:1)

Will you trust in Christ today? If you have questions or doubts about your faith or salvation and you don’t have anyone to talk to, I would love to discuss these matters with you.
