YOU CAN BE 100% SURE OF HEAVEN

The Bible says:

"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, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."  1 John 5:13

But in order to have eternal life you need to be saved (redeemed, regenerated, converted, born again). You must know and accept the following four things:

1. God says, "All men are sinners"

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

If you're honest with yourself, you know that you have told a lie. That is a sin. We are all sinners.

Did you know that there is a penalty or price on your sin which must be paid?

2. God says, "Payment must be made for our sins"

"For the wages of sin is death..."  Romans 6:23

Everyone knows that a wage is what we earn for doing a job. God says that we earn a wage or penalty for our sin. It 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 our sins that we've committed. God doesn't want anyone to go to Hell to pay for his or her sins. He gives us a choice. Read on and see how.

3. God says, "Christ paid for our sins"

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

God loves us very much! In fact, He loves us so much 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.

Our sin would have to be paid for by punishment In Hell forever. When they nailed Jesus to the cross, the blood that came from Him cleansed our sin.

When he died on the cross, He paid our price for 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 in Hell.

4. God says, "We must accept the free gift of eternal life through Christ to go to Heaven"

"But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"  Romans 6:23

Eternal life is a free gift of God. Gifts do not cost us! This means that life in Heaven is free and does not cost us a thing to receive.

Heaven does not cost us baptism. Heaven does not cost us church membership. Heaven does not cost us trying to be a good person. Certainly, these things are good to do. But they will not take us to Heaven when we die.

In fact, the only thing we can do in order to get to Heaven, is to call on Christ and trust only in Him as our Savior from Hell.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the shall be saved."   Romans 10:13

HERE IS HOW WE ACCEPT CHRIST AS OUR 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 simply willing to call on Him and trust in Him as your Savior'?

Jesus is willing to take you just like you are. If you answered yes to all the above questions, wouldn't you be willing to receive Jesus as your Savior right now?

Praying does not take you to Heaven, but what you believe in your heart does. If you want to receive Christ as your savior, then sincerely tell Jesus something like the prayer below:

Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. If I died today, I would be deserving of Hell. I know that you died for me on the cross and shed your blood to cover my sins. I now by faith trust you and you alone as my savior. Thank you for your gift of salvation. Amen.

Now claim the following verses from God's Word!

"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...For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Romans 10:9,10,13

If you prayed to receive Jesus Christ as your savior, welcome to the family of God! If you would like more information, please send your name, address, and a short message to our church. You can send us an e-mail or call us at 352-338-9050.

We encourage you to grow in your new Christian life by starting a regular "quiet time" of Bible reading and prayer, and by attending a Bible-believing church.
