The Bible says there is only one way to
Heaven.
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
Good works cannot save you
"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." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Trust Jesus Christ today! Here is what you must do:
1. Admit you are a
sinner.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of
God." (Romans 3:23)
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:" (Romans 5:12)
"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a
liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)
2. Be willing to turn from sin
(repent).
Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but
now commandeth all men every where to repent:" (Acts 17:30)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died
for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
"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." (John 3:16)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus
Christ into your life to become your personal savior.
"For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans
10:10)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
What to pray:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and need your
forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed his precious blood for me and
died to pay the penalty for my sin. I am willing to turn from my sinful ways. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal
savior.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John
1:12)
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2
Corinthians 5:17)
If you have received Jesus Christ as your personal savior, as a
Christian you should:
1. Read your Bible every day to
get to know Christ better
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy
2:15)
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto
my path." (Psalm 119:105)
2. Talk to God every day in
prayer
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22)
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God." (Philippians 4:6)
3. Be baptized, worship,
fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached
and the Bible is the final authority
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew
28:19)
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye
see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)
4. Tell others about
Christ
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature."
(Mark 16:15)
"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to
glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not
the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
