✝️ HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN

Until a person is convicted and drawn by the Holy Spirit through God’s Word they can never be saved, but once you realize your need of Jesus, believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ from your heart is the way to be saved and go to Heaven. Have you been saved? Do you know for sure you’re going to Heaven when you die? If not, please continue reading.

In order to be saved and go to Heaven the Bible says,

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” - Romans 3:23

Our sin separates us from a Holy God and will send us to Hell unless we “change our minds” and turn to God for forgiveness.

HOW DO WE DO THAT? THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES…

“… Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” - 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Thus we have the Gospel Message from the Bible that says …

✅ CHRIST DIED AND SHED HIS BLOOD FOR OUR SINS
✅ CHRIST WAS BURIED THREE DAYS
✅ CHRIST AROSE ON THE THIRD DAY

In other words, Jesus, God’s only Son took our place on the cross and paid our sins in full.

If you will believe and embrace these three truths about Jesus with all your heart and soul, God will forgive your sins, save you, and take you to Heaven someday.

REMEMBER: no amount of good works can ever save you. You must BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus; plus nothing, minus nothing. “

“For by grace [God’s favor] are ye saved through faith [believing]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works [human efforts], lest any man should boast.” - Ephesians 2:8-9

Some may say, Don’t we have to obey all the Law to be saved?” Listen to Romans 3:20:

“Therefore by the deeds [or works] of the law there shall no flesh be justified [or saved] in his sight: for by the law is [only] the knowledge of sin.” - Romans 3:20

So you see, it’s not by the Law or works that God saves us, but through believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ who paid for our sins by shedding His blood on the cross - plus nothing, minus nothing. That’s called “believing faith”. To add to the Gospel of Grace is like a slap in the face of Jesus. It’s saying, ‘Jesus, your shed blood on the cross wasn’t enough to save me, therefore I must help you!’ We cannot do that. Why? Because we are sinners and there is no good in us.

So, did you believe with all your heart and soul and receive God’s FREE GIFT of salvation? If you did, be sure to thank Jesus for keeping His promise and saving you. Now you will learn how to live and serve Him as His Ambassador (representative) through reading the Bible.

Also remember that a person that has truly believed and trusted Christ as Savior will have a CHANGED LIFE afterwards. You will want to quit sinning and start living for Jesus as you begin to read His Word.
