You can KNOW you'll go to Heaven!
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS:
1. God says that all men are sinners.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23
If you're honest with yourself, you know that you've told a lie. That is a sin. We are all sinners
2. God says that payment must be made for our sins.
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
A wage is what we earn for doing a job. God says that we earn a wage, or penalty for our sins. This is death in Hell.
...and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Revelation 21:8
Because we are sinners, we deserve to go to Hell forever to pay for the sins which we've committed. God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell to pay for their sins. He gives us a choice. Read on!
3. God says that only Jesus can save us from Hell. Only He paid for our sins!
But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
God loves us very much! So much, in fact, that He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for us. When Jesus died on the cross, He took upon Himself every sin that you and I would ever commit.
When they nailed Jesus to the cross, the blood that came from Him cleansed our sin. When He died, He paid the price for our sin, which is death. They buried Jesus, but He arose from the dead. He conquered death and sin! Many know about the death of Jesus on the cross, but have failed to make it personal by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior from death and Hell.
4. God says that the ONLY way to receive the free gift of eternal life in Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as our personal Savior.
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
Eternal life is a free gift of God. Heaven does not cost us baptism, church membership, or trying to be a good person. These things are good to do, but will not take us to Heaven when we die. We simply must call on Christ and trust only in Him as our Savior.
Neither is their salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. John 14:6
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR:
Do you admit that you are a sinner? Do you admit that because of your sins you deserve to go to Hell? Do you realize that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that on the third day He arose victorious over death and sin? Do you realize that Jesus wants to give you eternal life in Heaven if you are willing to call on Him and trust Him as your Savior?
Since Jesus would be willing to take you just like you are, wouldn't you be willing to receive Jesus as your Savior right now? Praying does not take anyone to Heaven, but receiving Jesus Christ into your heart gives you eternal life in Heaven. If you would like to receive Jesus as your Savior, then sincerely tell Him something like this:
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today, I would go to Hell. I know that you died for me on the cross and shed your blood for my sins. Please forgive me for my sins and save me from Hell. I'm trusting only in you as my Savior. Thank you for saving me from Hell. Amen.
