A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

The Bible Way to Heaven

There are big questions that haunt all of us. What happens when I die? Where will I spend eternity? The single most important question that you will ever answer is this: "If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?" Your relationship to Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
The Bible tells us in I John 5:13, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..." The simple truth is God wants you to know where you're going! So, here it is in a nutshell:

1. We have all sinned.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23

God's Word reminds us that we all have sinned. We have all fallen short of God's requirements, for at one time or another, we have all deliberately chosen to disobey God.

2. There is a price for sin.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.                                                   Romans 6:23

A wage is a payment. The payment for your sin is death and separation from God in a place that the Bible calls Hell.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death Revelation 20:14

3. Jesus paid that price.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

The word commendeth means "proved." God proved His love for you by giving His own Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for your sins.

4. We must believe in Jesus.
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
To believe on Jesus Christ as Saviour means to believe that He died for you, believe that He paid the price for your sin, and believe that He is the only way to Heaven. You can express your belief on Jesus by calling on Him in prayer.
Let us help you word a prayer. (Realize it's not mere words that save, but your faith in Jesus Christ.)
"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross and paid the penalty for my sin. I believe that you rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in you alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank you for giving me eternal life, in Jesus' name, AMEN."
