If you were to die today, are you 100 percent sure that you would go to Heaven? I am going to show you how you can be 100 percent sure that you will go to Heaven when you die
The first thing that we have to understand is that we are all sinners. The Bible says:
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
We have all sinned and come short. We do not measure up to what God expects. We have all sinned and there is a punishment for sin.
The Bible says:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death.
God's punishment for our sin is death. However, when we die it is not over. After we die, the Bible talks about a 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.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Notice it says that "all liars" shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. All liars. Have you ever told a lie? We all have and according to the last verse we all deserve to burn in the lake of fire for eternity.
But, the good news is that God loves us. He does not want us to go to Hell. We do deserve to be punished, but because God loves us He does not want us to have to pay that punishment. Here is what God did for us:
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God Himself became a human being. His name is Jesus. He was born of a virgin. He lived a perfect and sinless life. He was beaten, spit upon, and nailed to a cross. When he was nailed to the cross He bore our sins on himself. He died on the cross and paid the punishment for our sins so that we do not have to. Three days later He was raised from the dead.
Jesus died for everyone. But this does not mean that everyone is going to Heaven. There is something that we must do to be saved. The Bible tells us what we have to do to be saved in the Book
of Acts:
Acts 16.30.31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
In order to be saved you must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. It does not say that you have to go to church. It does not say that you have to be baptized. It does not say that you have to turn from sin and live a good life. While all of these are good things, none of them will save you.
The only thing that you have to do to be saved is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is the most famous verse in the Bible:
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.
Notice it does not say 'whosoever is good enough' or 'whosoever lives a good life or whosoever joins a church.' It says "whosoever believeth in him."
It has nothing to do with works:
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
It is all about believing: John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
It's all about believing on Jesus. Not simply believing in an historical figure called Jesus, but believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins and was raised from the dead three days later. You will not go to Heaven for what you have done; you will go to Heaven by believing on what Jesus has done
for you.
Romans 10:9-10 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Salvation is a free gift:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
A gift is not something that you have to earn. A gift is free. The person that is giving the gift is the one that has paid for it. God is giving us eternal life and He paid for this gif when He died on the cross for our sins.
When God gives you the gift of eternal life it is yours forever. You cannot lose your salvation. If you could lose your salvation it would not truly be an eternal gift. God is telling us that if we believe on Jesus and ask Him to save us, we will get everlasting life. If He were to give us everlasting life and then years later He were to take it away from us, then He wasn't telling the truth when he said it was everlasting life. That would make God a
liar.
The good news is that God cannot lie:
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
When God says eternal and everlasting, He means it! Therefore, after you are saved you are saved forever. You did not do anything to earn your salvation and you cannot do anything to lose it.
Remember, salvation has nothing to do with works.
It is all about believing on what Jesus has done for you.
Do you believe that you have sinned and deserve to go to Hell? Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins?
Do you believe that Jesus rose again from the dead?
Do you believe that Jesus would save you if you asked Him to right now?
Do you believe that once you are saved you will be saved forever?
If you answered yes to all of the questions above, you are ready to call upon Jesus to save you.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
I would like to help you call upon the Lord right now so that you will know that you are going to Heaven. Simply pray this prayer:
Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner.
I know I deserve to go to Hell.
But I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again.
Please save me right now and take me to Heaven
when I die.
I am only trusting in you Jesus.
Amen.
