WILL HEAVEN BE YOUR HOME?

Do you know for certain if you died today you would go to heaven???

The Bible was written so people could know their eternal destiny (1 John 5:13). Here is how you can be certain that Christ is your Lord and heaven is your home:

Recognize that without Christ you are in a state of sin called spiritual death, which means separation from God (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8).

Realize that Christ died for sinful humanity in order to remove the penalty for sin and to reconcile man to God (Romans 5:8; 6:23).

Repent of your sin by changing your mind to stop living to please self and start living to trust and follow Christ (Acts 2:38; Ephesians 2:8 & 9).

Receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10).

You may want to pray the following as a token of your new faith in Christ:

“Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and don’t deserve heaven as my home. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Lord, come into my life and take control; forgive my sins and save me. I repent of my sins and place my trust in You for my salvation. I accept your free gift of eternal life. In Jesus Name, Amen.”

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Do you know for sure,. . . .that you are going to be with God in heaven? If God were to ask you, "WHY SHOULD I LET YOU INTO MY HEAVEN" What would you say? If you are uncertain or hesitate for a moment to answer that question, this page has the BEST NEWS you could ever hear! "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God."

Bible verse:1 John 5:13

Here's how you can KNOW FOR SURE!

HEAVEN (ETERNAL LIFE) IS A FREE GIFT.

The Bible says, "...the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23. It is not earned or deserved. Therefore, no amount of personal effort, good works, or religious deeds can earn a place in heaven for you.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

WHY is it that no one can earn his way to heaven? Because MAN IS A SINNER.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. Sin is transgressing God's law and includes such things as lying, lust, cheating, deceit, anger, evil thoughts, immoral behavior, and more. And because of this . . . . .

MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF. If you wanted to save yourself by good deeds, do you know how good you would have to be? The Bible says you would have to be perfect. "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48

With such a high standard, no one can save himself for God also says, "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10
In spite of our sin, however . . .

GOD IS MERCIFUL, and therefore HE DOESN'T WANT TO PUNISH US. This is because "...for God is love." I John 4:8 and He says, "...I have loved thee with an everlasting love..." Jeremiah 31:3. But the same Bible tells us that God loves us, also tells us that . . . GOD IS JUST, and therefore must punish sin. He says "...and that will by no means clear the guilty..." Exodus 34:7 "...the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:4

WE HAVE A PROBLEM

God loves us and doesn't want to punish us. But He is just and must punish sin.

However, God solved this problem for us in the Person of JESUS CHRIST

WHO IS HE?

The Bible tells us clearly that Jesus is the infinite GOD-MAN

The Bible also tells us that Jesus is "...the King of kings, and Lord of lords;" I Timothy 6:15

"In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) . . . and the Word (Jesus) was God . . . And the Word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us" John 1:1, 14. Jesus Christ came to earth and lived a sinless life, but while on earth . . .

WHAT DID HE DO?

He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the grave to purchase a place for us in heaven.

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6

Jesus Christ bore our sin in His body on the cross and now offers you eternal life (heaven) as a free gift.

This gift is received by . . . .

FAITH

Saving Faith is the key that opens the door to heaven. Many people mistake 2 things for saving faith:

Saving faith IS NOT mere INTELLECTUAL ASSENT, like believing certain historical facts. The Bible says that the devil believes in God, so believing in God is not saving faith.

Saving faith IS NOT mere TEMPORAL FAITH, that is, trusting God for temporary crisis such as financial, family, or physical needs. Now these are good, and you should trust Christ for these, but they are not saving faith!

Saving faith is trusting in Jesus alone for salvation. It means resting upon CHRIST ALONE
and what HE HAS DONE rather than in what you or I have done to get us into heaven.

Saving faith is a repentant faith, in which we as sinners respond to God's offer of salvation with humility, and brokenness over their sin before God. It is turning from a love of sin to a love for God.

"...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." Acts 16:31

"Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ...Acts 20:21

You have just read the GREATEST STORY

ever told about the GREATEST OFFER

ever made by the GREATEST PERSON

who ever lived, JESUS CHRIST

The question that GOD is asking you now is . . .
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE?

Because this is such an important matter . . . .LET'S CLARIFY just what this involves. It means, that you need to:

1) Turn to God in prayer, and admit to Him your need to be saved.

2) Confess to him that you are a sinner, and that you realize that you deserve to be punished for your sin, but you need him to forgive you.

3) Place your faith in Jesus, believing that He is the only Savior, God's only Son, who died in your place, was buried, and rose again for you!

Now, if this is what you really want. . . .

HERE'S A SUGGESTED PRAYER:

"Lord Jesus Christ, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in heaven for me. Lord Jesus, come into my life; take control of my life; forgive my sins and save me. I repent of my sins and now place my trust in You for my salvation. I accept the free gift of eternal life."

If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at what Jesus promises to those who believe in Him: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." John 6:47

Psalm 51:1-17

WELCOME to God's Family!!!

If you have truly repented (forsaken, turned away)

Placed your trust in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death

And received the gift of eternal life

You are now a Child of God! Forever!

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" John 1:12

The Bible speaks of these who receive eternal life in these words: "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:13

Just as a newborn baby grows physically, in a similar way you can grow spiritually, by taking the following steps:

1) READ THE BIBLE. Starting with the Gospel of John, read a chapter each day. "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" I Peter 2:2

2) PRAY. Spend time each day talking with God. "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. . . ." Philippians 4:6

3) WORSHIP. Regularly attend a church that honors Jesus Christ and teaches you the Bible.

"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." Psalm 122:1

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24

4) FELLOWSHIP with Christians who will help you grow in faith.

"That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." I John 1:3

5) WITNESS. Tell others what Jesus Christ means to you!

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses..." Acts 1:8

If you have appreciated the GOOD NEWS you have just read, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you grow spiritually.

Question: “Going to Heaven – how can I guarantee my eternal destination?”

Answer: Face it. The day that each of us will step into eternity may come sooner than we think. In preparation for that moment, we need to know this truth—not everyone is going to heaven. How can we know for sure that we are one of those who will spend eternity in heaven? Some 2,000 years ago, the apostles Peter and John were preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a large crowd in Jerusalem. It was then that Peter made a profound statement that resonates even in our post-modern world: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Even as it was then, in today’s “all ways lead to heaven” climate, this is not a politically correct message. There are many who think they can have heaven without having Jesus. They want the good promises of glory, but they don’t want to be bothered by the cross, much less the One who hung and died there for the sins of all who would believe in Him. Many don’t want to accept Jesus as the only way and are determined to find another path. But Jesus Himself warns us that no other path exists and the consequences for not accepting this truth are an eternity in hell. He has told us plainly that “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36).

Some will argue that it’s extremely narrow-minded of God to provide only one way to heaven. But, frankly, in light of mankind’s rebellious rejection of God, it’s extremely broad-minded for Him to provide us with any way to heaven. We deserve judgment and instead He gives us the way of escape by sending His only begotten Son to die for our sins. Whether someone sees this as narrow or broad, it’s the truth, and Christians need to maintain the clear, untarnished message that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.

Many people today have believed a watered down gospel that does away with the message of repentance of their sins. They want to believe in a loving, nonjudgmental God who requires no repentance and no change in their lifestyle. They may say things like, “I believe in Jesus Christ, but my God is not judgmental. My God would never send a person to hell.” But we cannot have it both ways. If we profess to be Christians, we must recognize Christ for who He said He is—the one and only way to heaven. To deny that is to deny Jesus Himself, for it was He who declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

The question still remains: who will actually enter into God’s kingdom? How can I guarantee my eternal destination? The answer to these questions is seen in the clearly drawn distinction between those who have eternal life and those who do not. “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12). Those who believe in Christ, who have accepted His sacrifice in payment of their sins, and who follow Him in obedience will spend eternity in heaven. Those who reject Him will not. “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (John 3:18).

As awesome as heaven will be for those who choose Jesus Christ as Savior, hell will be that much more awful for those who reject Him. Our message to the lost would be delivered with more urgency if we understood what the holiness and righteousness of God will do to those who have rejected the full provision of forgiveness in His Son, Jesus Christ. One cannot read the Bible seriously without seeing it over and over again—the line is drawn. The Bible is very clear that there is one and only one way to heaven—through Jesus Christ. He has given us this warning: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

There is only one way to heaven and those who follow that way are guaranteed to get there. But not everyone is following that way. Are you?

HEAVEN is for REAL and this is the BIBLE way to Heaven:

Heaven has ONE DOOR- JESUS CHRIST

1. Recognize your condition. You are a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

2. Realize the penalty for sin: Hell
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a) Death here is eternal death in Hell.

3. Understand that Jesus paid your penalty.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

4. Realize Salvation is a free gift from God. Eternal life in Heaven
"But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b)

5. Trust Christ alone as your Saviour.
"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." (Romans 10:9)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

To accept Jesus as your personal LoRd and Saviour, Pray this👇

"Dear Heavenly Father, I know I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness and salvation. I believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, to pay the price of my sin. I now ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Lord & Saviour. I am willing, by God’s grace to follow and obey Christ as the Lord of my life. Thank You for saving me from Hell. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

PS: Please share so your loved ones will come to know our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.🙏🏼
