God's Word is very clear that God wants everyone to know, without a doubt, that they have eternal life with Him in heaven.  If you cannot say that you know, for sure, that you are on your way to heaven when you die, please take a few moments to read the following passages from God's Word.  If you have any questions, please go to the "Contact Us" link or visit us for our next service.  We would love to answer any questions you may have and show you in God's Word how you can settle the matter of where you will spend eternity.


Realize you are a sinner
 
Romans 3:23-For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of  God;

Realize the penalty for sin

Romans 6:23a-For the wages of sin is death;…

Revelation 20:14-And death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.  This is the second death.

Not only is death in the Bible referring to a physical death but an eternal separation from God in a place called Hell.  Luke 16:19-31


Realize the penalty has been paid for us

Romans 5:8-But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

2 Corinthians 5:21-For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.


Realize that salvation is a gift

Romans 6:23b-…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 3:16-For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Realize there is nothing you can do for the gift, but accept

God’s sinless sacrifice on the cross paid for all sin.  There is nothing we can do to pay for our own sin, if we refuse the gift that Christ gave us on the cross.

Ephesians 2:8-9-For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.


Titus 3:5-Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us,

Realize we need to believe and receive the gift for salvation

Romans 10:9-10-That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:13-For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 
Example prayer:  Lord I know I’m a sinner and I deserve to go to hell, but I realize you died for my sin, and your blood was shed for me, I also acknowledge you rose from the grave so I could go to heaven.  Jesus please forgive me of my sin, come into my heart, and save me.  In Jesus name I pray Amen.
