How to
go to Heaven
"For
the wages of sin is
death, but
the gift
of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord".
(Romans 6:23) (NIV)
"For it
is by
grace you have been saved,
through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is
gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.."
(Ephesians 2:8-9) (NIV)
Admit
you are a sinner:
"For all
have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23) (NIV)
"For
whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles
at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it." (James
2:10) (NIV)
Know
that God, being holy, must punish sin:
"...Yet he
(God) does not
leave the guilty unpunished..."
(Exodus 34:6-7) (NIV)
"For
the wages of sin is death."
(Romans 6:23) (NIV)
Understand
that Jesus is God and He paid the penalty for your sin through His
death:
"For Christ
died for sins once for all, the
righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God..." (1
Peter 3:18) (NIV)
Believing
all of the above to be true, then call on God to be saved from the
penalty of sin:
"That
if you confess
with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord', and believe
in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...for, 'Everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved.' "
(Romans
10:9,13) (NIV)
