I would like to share with you how the Bible answers this question, if that is alright with you? There is a word that can be used to answer this question:

F  A  I  T  H

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 1:7a NKJV.

A  is for AVAILABLE.

Forgiveness is available. It is --- 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 NKJV.

BUT NOT AUTOMATIC.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven" --- Matthew 7:21a, NKJV.

I   is for IMPOSSIBLE.

It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.

GOD IS ---

  • LOVE

"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 NKJV.

  • JUST

"For judgment is without mercy"  ---James 2:13a NKJV

  • MAN IS SINFUL

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

Question: But 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 someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (change directions)

Turn means repent.

TURN from something - - sin and self

"But unless you repent you will all likewise perish" -- Luke 13:3b NKJV.

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"  --- I Corinthians 15:3b-4 NKJV.

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

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 10:10b, NKJV.

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 NKJV

HOW

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

A. Admit you are a sinner

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

B. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and paid your sin debt in full, then was buried, and rose form the dead on the third day

(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"  --- I Corinthians 15:3b-4 NKJV.

C. Confess your sins and receive His forgiveness by trusting in Christ Jesus as your Savior and Lord.

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

Repeat this prayer:

Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner;

Please forgive me of my sins;

I believe You died to save me from my sins, and was buried then You rose again the third day;

Please come into my heart so I may live with You forever;

In Jesus' name Amen.
