HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN
Here’s what God says about missing Hell and gaining Heaven:
1. You must realize that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
2. You must understand that your sin makes you unacceptable to God.
Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death…”
Ezekiel 18:4 “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
3. You must believe that Christ died for you, in your place, to pay for your sins.
I Peter 2:24 “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
4. You must know that you cannot save yourself.
Ephesians 2:8, 9 “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.”
Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…”
5. You must believe that only Christ can save you.
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me…”
Acts 4: 12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
6. You must be sorry for your sin, realizing that it is what separates you from God.
Luke 13:3 “But except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
7. Believing, you must pray to God and receive Him as your personal Savior.
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.”
I John 5: 11-12 “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
John I: 12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
Romans 10: 13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
