Road to Heaven
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING WHEN YOU DIE?
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.
We were born under the power of sin’s control.
– Admit that you are a sinner.
Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin is death…”
Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical death, which is a result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever. It is the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain.
– Understand that you deserve death for your sin.
Romans 6:23b “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can’t earn this gift, but you must reach out and receive it.
– Ask God to forgive you and save you.
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin’s penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life. He did all this because He loved us and gave Himself for us!
– Give your life to God… His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change. His love bought you out of being a slave to sin. His love is what saves you — not religion, or church membership. God loves you!
Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
– Call out to God in the name of Jesus!
Romans 10:9,10 “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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
– If you know that God is knocking on your heart’s door, ask Him to come into your heart.
Jesus said,
Revelation 3:20a “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
– Is Jesus knocking on your heart’s door?
WILL YOU CALL UPON THE LORD NOW AND ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU FROM SIN’S PENALTY?
Then pray and trust Jesus as your Savior…
“Lord, I confess to you that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve God’s penalty for sin, but I believe that Jesus died in my place and rose again from the dead. In the best way that I know how, I ask you to forgive my sin, come into my life, and make heaven my everlasting home. Help me to live for You from this day forward. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
“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.”
