ARE YOU 100% SURE IF YOU DIED TODAY YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?
There are basically five things you need to understand and believe from the Bible to have the assurance that when YOU die YOU will go to Heaven.
EVERYONE IS A SINNER
Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
The reason we come short of God’s glory (God’s righteousness or perfect nature) is because “all have sinned”. “All” includes me and it also includes you. Sin is nothing more than disobeying God – it’s not just murdering or stealing. For example, Adam and Eve ate from the tree that God told them not to touch – that was the first sin.
So, the first thing you must do is agree with the Bible and admit to God that you are a sinner.
EVERONE OWES A SIN DEBT
Romans 6:23a – “For the wages of sin is death;”
By wages, the Bible means penalty or debt. There are consequences for our sin. Just as a criminal must face punishment for his crime, so must we pay a penalty for our sin. This penalty is death – an eternal death which is also called the Second Death.
Revelation 20:14 – 15 – “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Secondly, you must realize that if you were to die in your sins, you MUST pay the penalty for sin in Hell – FOREVER!!!
EVERYONE’S SIN DEBT HAS BEEN PAID
Romans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Although sin brings eternal death, God wants to give us eternal life. You must realize that you cannot gain eternal life by going to church, being baptized, or by just being a good person. As a matter of fact, it is a gift of God. You can’t buy or earn your way to Heaven. Eternal life is obtained through Jesus Christ alone.
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.”
Romans 5:8 – “But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
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.
Thirdly, you must believe that Jesus Christ has paid your sin debt by dying for you on the cross. Eternal life is ONLY offered through Him.
EVERYONE CAN BE SAVED
Although Jesus died to pay everyone’s sin debt, not everyone is on their way to Heaven. You must personally receive God’s Gift of eternal life.
Romans 10:9 – “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:13 – “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
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.
Fourthly, you must believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again for you and ask Him to save you and forgive you of your sins.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO TURN FROM SIN
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Lastly, you MUST REPENT (turn) from your sins. Must be a change:
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
If you would like to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, simply ASK believing.
EVERYONE THAT ASK SHALL RECEIVE
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
EVERYONE THAT RECEIVES HAS
EVERLASTING LIFE
John 5:24 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
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.
