I'd like to share with you how the Bible answers that question.

I'll use the word FAITH to help me explain...

F is for FORGIVENESS

We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness.

"In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins" Ephesians 1:7

A is for AVAILABLE

Forgiveness is available...

AVAILABLE FOR ALL... "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16

BUT NOT AUTOMATIC... "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 7:21

I is for IMPOSSIBLE

It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.

GOD IS --

LOVE (John 3:16)

JUST "For judgment is without mercy" James 2:13

MAN IS --

SINFUL "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

QUESTION... How can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows NO sin?

T is for TURN

QUESTION... If you were driving down the road and aomeone asked you to 'turn', what would he or she be askign you to do? (change direction)

Turn means "repent"

TURN from something -- sin and self "But unless you repent you will all likewise perish" Luke 13:3

TURN to Someone; trust Christ only

the Bible tells us that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" 1 Corinthians 15:3

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9

H is for HEAVEN

Heaven is eternal life

HERE -- "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" John 10:10

HEREAFTER -- "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" John 14:3

HOW?

How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?

Forsaking All I Trust Him

Romans 10:9 above tells you that all you have to do is (pray) confess Jesus as Lord, (trust) believe in your heart that God raised Him from the grave -- You'll be SAVED

 

If this is something you're ready to do, then do it! Pray!!
