Do you want to know how to get to heaven?
Step 2.
Humanity is separated from God because of sin.
What is sin?
Sin is the violation of God’s law, including the 10 commandments.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
We have all done things, said things, thought about things that are below the standard of God, and that is sinful. Sin is also disobedience to God, and rebellion against God.
The Bible says. We are all born sinful, and if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves. 1 John 1:8
Now this sinful nature has separated us from God.
But there is hope.
God sent Jesus to redeemed us back to Him.
Jesus shed His precious blood to save us. He was crucified on the cross, He was buried, God resurrected Him on the 3rd day, and He is alive and in Heaven.
There had to be a penalty for sin, and Jesus paid the penalty.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
God loves us so much that He had to do something to redeem us, and to save us from death and destruction. So He sent Jesus. Jesus died to save us, and to reconcile us back to God.
John 14:6
Jesus says ” I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through Me.”
1 John 1:8-9
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
“If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
So to receive Jesus as your Saviour and Lord, you can say this prayer.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus died on the cross to save me. I accept Jesus as my personal Saviour and Lord. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins, and cleanse me of all unrighteousness.
Lord, please help me to be ready to meet You when You return. Also, please increase my faith in You each and every day. Help me to be pleasing to You. Lord, also help me to be faithful to the end, and you will give me a crown of life, and I will receive the gift of eternal life. Thank You Lord for loving me.
In Jesus name Amen.
Now that you have received Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord, you are now Heaven bound.
Read your Bible daily.
Pray every day. The Bible says to ” pray without ceasing.” (we should always be willing, ready and eager to pray).
In your prayer, ask the Lord to help you to develop a personal relationship with Him. And to increase your faith and trust in Him daily.
Also, now that you have accepted Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord, live with the assurance that you will be spending eternity in heaven with your Creator God, and Jesus your Saviour.
Live with eternity in mind.
