Going to Heaven?

Friend, that is the most important question you will ever be asked! Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.

       Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die?

       God says in order to go to heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again." It is in the Bible where gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How?

       First you must realize that you are a sinner. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

       Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. "For the wages [payment] of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. "... it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27)

       But God loved you so much HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" 2 Corinthians 5:21.

      Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and he died in our place. He became our substitute. In the book of Acts, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

      Friend, God gives us the same opportunity he gave the Philippian Jailor! Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Whosoever includes you and me! Romans 10:9 tells us the same thing ... "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."

      YOU CAN BE SAVED RIGHT NOW! Just pray and ask Christ to save you! Something like this ....

Lord, I know I am a sinner, but I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I receive him now as my Saviour. In Jesus name ... Amen.
