How to KNOW 100% sure you are going to Heaven.
The most important question a person will ever answer is “Am I going to Heaven when I die?” While nobody wants to think about death, it is a reality for everyone; and for those who die without Jesus Christ, they face an eternity in a horrible place called Hell. Many people believe that if they are good enough or do enough good deeds, they will make it to Heaven…but that is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches that we are all born with a sinful nature and that the penalty for our sin is death; but God loved us so much that He sent His perfect Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place as payment for our sins, and then rose from the dead on the third day in victory. He offers this free gift of salvation to anyone who will believe and trust in Him.
Here is the Bible Way To Heaven
1. We Must Recognize Our Condition
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. No matter how good or moral we are, we still fall short. “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.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…” (Titus 3:5)
2. We Must Realize the Penalty for Our Sin
“For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23a) A wage is our “earnings” or “hire.” The wage (or penalty) of our sin is eternal death. According to the Bible, there is a punishment for our sin. This is a complete and permanent separation from God in a place He calls Hell.
3. We Must Understand that Christ Died in Our Place
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Jesus Christ’s great love for us was shown when He died on the cross of Calvary to pay our sin debt. “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (I John 4:9) “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (made alive) by the Spirit:” (I Peter 3:18)
4. We Must, by Faith, Trust Jesus Christ Alone as Our Savior
“…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Everlasting life, an eternal home in Heaven, is a gift that was purchased by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and is offered freely to anyone who will, by faith, receive Him. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
This can all be summed up in one of the most recognizable verses from the Bible. John 3:16 says, “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.” If you understand what the Bible says and want to go to Heaven, you can! Simply put your trust in Jesus Christ. If you would like to be saved, tell Jesus through prayer that you are trusting Him alone to save you.
“Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sins. By faith, I believe that Jesus paid for my sins, and now the best I know how I am trusting you and you alone to take me to Heaven when I die. Amen!”
