HOW
CAN WE
GO TO HEAVEN?
For thousands of years men have asked the question,
"How can I get to Heaven?"
Today the answer may seem more unclear than ever-
-a day in which we are taught to shun spirituality,
to deny God's very existence,
to trade the grace of God for the NO moral lifestyles of this New Age.
"How can I get to Heaven?"
Today the answer may seem more unclear than ever-
-a day in which we are taught to shun spirituality,
to deny God's very existence,
to trade the grace of God for the NO moral lifestyles of this New Age.
But there is a clear, precise answer to that question.
The Bible says that we can all go to Heaven,
and it's not nearly as complicated as some might think.
What exactly does the Bible say about it?
The Bible says that we must first understand some things:
1. UNDERSTAND THAT ALL HAVE DONE WRONG:
The Bible says, "For
all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
This means that all of us have done wrong things (sinned).
Nobody is innocent and nobody is perfect.
of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
This means that all of us have done wrong things (sinned).
Nobody is innocent and nobody is perfect.
2. UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
PENALTY TO PAY FOR OUR WRONG-DOING:
According to the Bible,
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Just as we earn wages when we work for our employer,
we also earn a "wage" by sinning
PENALTY TO PAY FOR OUR WRONG-DOING:
According to the Bible,
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Just as we earn wages when we work for our employer,
we also earn a "wage" by sinning
("doing
wrong").
That wage is death--not just the physical death of the body,
but an eternity in Hell. Since every human has sinned,
and the penalty for that sin is going to Hell,
that means that every human is on his or her way to Hell.
That wage is death--not just the physical death of the body,
but an eternity in Hell. Since every human has sinned,
and the penalty for that sin is going to Hell,

3. UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS PAID OUR PENALTY FOR US:
We owe a penalty for our sin that we cannot pay; however,
Jesus paid that penalty for us over 2,000 years ago
Jesus paid that penalty for us over 2,000 years ago
when He died for us--in
our place.
The Bible says, "But God commendeth His love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Even though we were Hell-bound in our sins,
God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
to die for us, to take our punishment for us.
As the previous verse says, this is a "gift of God",
so it's not something we have earned or
could ever earn. The wage we have earned by our sin is Hell;
the Gift we can have from God is eternal life in Heaven.

We need to turn from our past life of sin and put our full faith
and trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation from Hell.
God wants to give us that gift of Salvation--of eternal life in Heaven.
We must only ask and believe, understanding that we are guilty of wrongdoing
and that Jesus is our only Salvation!!!!

4. HOW CAN YOU BE SAVED?
"For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:13) The Bible says that "whosoever"-
-that means anyone--can be saved
by simply asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins and save their soul
from the devil's Hell. This means that YOU,
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PAST HAS BEEN,
CAN RIGHT NOW PRAY TO JESUS,
ASKING HIM TO SAVE YOU. He has already paid the price for it.
He stands, hands outstretched, ready to give you that FREE GIFT.
NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO SETTLE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
