How Do I Get To Heaven

Finding the way to heaven has been the question for all of mankind.  All religions, philosophy, and human thought still struggle with this question.  Common answers are: be a good person, go to church, be religious, or even believe in God.

The place to look for real answers is the Bible.

 God is Patient

"who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."

I Timothy 2:4

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

2 Peter 3:9

 Yet We Have A Problem

The Bible teaches that you and I are sinners by birth.  

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Romans 3:23

The Bible tells us that there is a penalty for being a sinner - namely, death in Hell.  

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 6:23

The Answer Is Jesus Christ

 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

He Gives Us a Promise

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 

Acts 2:21

All You Have To Do Is Pray

"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

Romans 10:9-10

 

So How Do I Get To Heaven? Pray. It's that simple! Ask God to save you and forgive you of your sins. Right here. Right now. Pray this simple prayer: "Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose from the dead. I ask You to come into my heart as Lord and Savior.

Eternal life in Heaven is only the beginning. God has a purpose for us on this earth.

 Purpose

Our purpose in life as a Christian is not just that we go to heaven, but that we are transformed (changed from the inside) to be like Christ.   We do this by worshipping God, reading His Word daily, and talking with Him.  Find a good church that preaches the Bible. We are also to share the Good News of Jesus to others.
