How to get to Heaven

THE TRUTH ABOUT ETERNITY - How to Get to Heaven

Jesus Christ said that seeing himself is the same as seeing God. He is the only way to God. These four steps will show you how to find and meet God who created you, has always loved you, and wants you to spend eternity with Him.

STEP ONE: WE ALL FALL SHORT OF GOD’S STANDARD

The Bible says: 

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” - Romans 3:23

Our first step towards God comes when we understand and admit that we fall short of His perfect standards. We do things that we know are wrong. The Bible calls this sin. If you believe that you can somehow do enough good deeds to outweigh your bad deeds (an impossibility) or if you’re not troubled by the consequences of your sin, you are not yet ready for God to help you. You must agree with God that you are a sinner.

STEP TWO: THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR SIN

The Bible says: 

“The wages of sin is death . . .” - Romans 6:23a

No sin is free, and no sin is cheap. The Bible says that the payment for our sin is death. This is eternal separation from God in a terrible place called hell; a place reserved for all those who willingly reject God.

STEP THREE: GOD HAS PAID THE PRICE!

The Bible says:

“. . . but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 6:23b

God loves you very much. He does not want you to spend eternity in hell. That is why He came to earth as a man called Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life and died a horrible death in your place. He took on Himself the full punishment for your sin, so that you would never have to pay the price. Instead, you can live forever in Heaven with Him.

STEP FOUR: TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS 

The Bible says:

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” - Romans 10:9

“Testifying...repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” - Acts 20:21

“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” - Romans 10:13

Jesus Christ rose from the dead to prove that He is the only one able to save you. But knowing that you are a sinner and that God wants to save you is not enough. You must do something about it. You must want to be saved! You must repent and turn from your old life and enter a new life with Jesus at the center—a life that begins when you sincerely and openly ask Him to save you.

Accept Christ Today!

The Bible says:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

- John 3:16
