GOD LOVES YOU VERY MUCH- "God loves you so much that He gave
His only Son, on your behalf, so that if you, by faith, accept Him, you will not perish,
but you will have eternal life." John 3:16
The Bible says....
(The Bible teaches that if you have "eternal life" you will go to heaven when you die.)
ONLY GOD IS PERFECT- "For all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 (NIV)
The Bible says.....
ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE- "Everyone who, by faith, accepts God's
Son, has eternal life, but whoever rejects Him doesn't have eternal life and they
will remain under God's judgement of sin." John 3:36 (Since sin can have no place in God's perfect
heaven, the Bible teaches that it was God's plan that through His Son Jesus you can
receive forgiveness for your sin. God sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the penalty
for your sin. God also raised Jesus from death so that he is alive today. )
DEATH IS NOT THE END IF YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS LORD- "The final result of sin is death, but God
offers us the free gift of eternal life if we, by faith, accept Jesus Christ as
Lord." Romans 6:23 (The Bible teaches that if you do not accept Jesus
as Lord you will not receive forgiveness of your sin, but remain under God's
judgement of sin. When the Bible speaks about Jesus as "Lord," it means allowing
him to be in control of your life.)
NO ONE OR NOTHING ELSE CAN PROVIDE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN- "God is so merciful that He gives us eternal
life if we, by faith, accept Jesus as Lord; and even the ability to have faith is a gift
to us from God. Eternal life is not the result of our doing good things, therefore no one
can brag or take credit for obtaining it." Ephesians 2:8-9 (Some people think that if they simply try to live
right that they will go to heaven. The Bible teaches that you can never be "good
enough," to earn heaven.)
EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN MUST ACCEPT JESUS- "I am the only way, the only truth, and the
only life, therefore no one can go to heaven except through me." John14:6 (This is the good news of the Bible. God has
provided the way to heaven for you through Jesus, but you must respond by accepting His
plan. Not only will you go to heaven, but the Bible teaches that when you give Jesus
control of your life, your life will have more meaning and purpose today.)
WE MUST INDIVIDUALLY ACCEPT JESUS AS LORD- "If you say that Jesus is your Lord, and if
you believe God raised him from death, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 (The Bible uses the words "saved," and
"salvation," to describe what happens when you accept Jesus as Lord. You are
saved from God's judgement of sin in your life. The Bible teaches that God's
judgement of sin for those who reject Jesus is eternal punishment in hell.)
SIMPLY ASK GOD IN PRAYER TO FORGIVE YOU FOR YOUR SIN- "Everyone who calls out to God will be
saved." Romans 10:13 (Prayer is God's way for you to have a
personal relationship with Him. Prayer is simply talking with God about your deepest heart
concerns. There is nothing nor no one that God will not forgive if you humbly ask His
forgiveness.)
THEREFORE ......
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN? The Bible teaches that the only way you can go to
heaven is to, by faith, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is very important
to do that at this very moment since no one knows what the future may hold for them. Why not bow your head and read silently or out
loud this simple prayer to God:
NOW WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? If you prayed and asked for forgiveness and for
Jesus to become Lord of your life, then God answered your prayer. Saving faith is more than religion, it is a
relationship. God is spirit and you cannot see Him, but you can relate to Him through
prayer, Bible study, and worship.

The Bible says.....
Dear God, please forgive me for my sins. Thank You
for sending your Son Jesus so that I can be forgiven and go to heaven when I die. Jesus,
I receive You as my Savior and Lord and ask you to be in control of my life. Thank You
for saving me and coming into my life. Amen
