The Bible Way To Heaven

Are you 100% Sure You Will Go to Heaven When You Die?
The Bible says that you can know for sure that you are on your way to heaven. But there's a few things that you need to understand to know that you are on your way to heaven.
The first thing you need to understand: is that you are a sinner. The Bible says in Romans 3:10:
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
The Bible tells us that no one is without fault, no one is perfect. In Romans 3:23 it says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
The Bible defines sin as a transgression of the law. We all have sinned. There is not one human on this earth that is not a sinner.
The reason you need to understand that is because in Romans 6:23 it says:
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The first part of that verse tells us there are wages for our sin, which is death. The word wage means payment, it's what you earn. When you go to work, you earn money. But when you sin, you earn death. When the Bible talks about death, it talks about more than just a physical death. In Revelation 20:14-15:
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Here we learn about a second death. When the Bible talks about the wages of sin is death, it’s not just talking about a physical death. When an individual gets cast into the lake of fire (Hell), that is the second death. In Revelation 21:8 it says:
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
The reason God gives us this list of very bad sins, and then at the end, adds a sin we all have committed. Is to show us that there is none righteous. No matter how good you are, you are not good enough. In James 2:10 it says:
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
You need to understand that we are all sinners, and because we are sinners, our sin has condemned us to Hell. Now you don’t have to go to Hell, and God doesn’t want you to go to Hell. But you need to understand that you are condemned to Hell, and you need to be saved from Hell. Again Romans 6:23 it says:
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The Bible explains that God has a gift He wants to give you. That gift is eternal life and it’s through Jesus Christ. There's a few things you need to understand about this gift. In Ephesians 2:8-9 it 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.”
The Bible tells us the gift of salvation is from God and it’s not of works, meaning you don’t have to earn it. Today many people believe you have to live a good life in order to go to heaven or they have to repent of their sins in order to go to heaven. Or maybe they believe they have to get baptized or go to church. But the Bible tells us that the gift is not of works. You don’t have to earn it, you don’t have to pay for it. But because it is a gift someone did have to pay for it and that person was Jesus Christ. In Romans 5:8:
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
The message of the Gospel is this: That Jesus came to this earth. He lived a sinless life. He never sinned. He died on the cross, was buried, and He resurrected from the grave 3 days later as a payment for our sin.
Now there is a couple things you have to believe about Jesus: You can’t just believe that He was just a good man or a prophet. You have to believe what the Bible says about him: that He was God in the flesh. John 1:1 says this:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Later on in the chapter in verse 14 he says this:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
Now that "only begotten of the Father", was of course Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says:
“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.”
The message of salvation is that Jesus, who was God in the Flesh, paid for our sins, and He offers us the free gift of eternal life. Now there is one more thing you need to understand about salvation: it is eternal life. In John 3:16 it’s called everlasting life, In John 3:15 it says:
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
The first part of John 3:36 says:
”He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:”
Now what that means is that when God gives you salvation, it lasts forever. It doesn’t mean you’ll live on this earth as some sort of immortal. But what it means is when you die physically, you will not die the second death of being cast into the lake of fire, but you’ll go live with God for eternity and it'll last forever. Titus 1:2 says this:
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
The Bible says that our hope for eternal life is that God cannot lie. Once He gives it to you, He’ll never take it away. Now that doesn’t mean you can live on this earth without any consequences. Of course we know on this earth there are consequences for sin, we reap what we sow, and God chastises his children. But there is nothing you could ever do that would cause God to take away your eternal life. God wants you to be saved, and He tells you how to do that. In Romans 10:9 it says:
“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.”
Now he says "if" because you get a choice. The gift of salvation has to be accepted. Verse 10 says:
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Verse 13 says:
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you believe this: that you are a sinner and your sin condems you to hell. That Jesus came to this earth, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, was buried and resurrected as a payment for your sin. That you don’t have to earn it, don’t have to work for it. All you have to do is receive it and once you have it He’ll never take it away. Then God simply asks you, by faith to call upon Him to save you.
If you believe that, we would like to help you word a prayer. Now this prayer in of itself does not save you. It’s the faith in your heart that saves you, but if you believe it, Pray to Jesus:
Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner and I deserve to go to Hell. I'm confessing my sin to you and receiving your gift of eternal life. I'm not trusting in myself, I'm only trusting in you. Amen.
If you prayed that prayer, we would like to congratulate you on receiving the gift of eternal life! We encourage you to share the gospel with your friends and family.
God Bless.
