The Bible mentions in 1 John 5:13, that one can be sure of going to Heaven. The question we can then ask ourselves is the following: how to go to heaven according to the word of God?
For this, we must come to God with a repentant heart, confess our sins and ask forgiveness for our sins (Acts 3:19).
James 4: 8 << Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your sinful hands, purify your hearts, irresolute men. >>
The Lord says he will not reject anyone who comes to him no matter how great your sin is or how wicked you may think you are? (John 6:37).
On the other hand, if you think you are good enough to go to Heaven, the Bible says in
Romans 3:23: << For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God >>
It also says that if one transgresses an element of the law, one makes oneself guilty of all (thus the fact of having lied only once in his life) is enough to no longer be worthy of going to Heaven since one has transgressed an element of the law. (James 2:10).
In this condition of man vis-à-vis of salvation and sin, one then wonders how to be saved.
Fortunately, what is impossible for men is possible for God. (Matthew 19:26).
The Bible states in
Ephesians 2:8 << For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith. And it is not from you, it is the gift of God. >>
The Lord has indeed provided a way to go to Heaven.
John 3:16 << For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.>>
It is Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He is the way, the only means provided by the Lord to go to Heaven. Think again if you believed that there are many ways to get there, the Bible is very clear on this.
We can see it in
1 John 5: 11-12 << whoever has the son has life, and whoever does not have the son does not have life. >>;
John 14: 6 << Jesus said to him: I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the father except through me. >>
Dear Reader, if you have not yet received forgiveness of your sins and do not yet have eternal life, pray this prayer with all your heart.
(Lord, thank you because the Bible says that you love me and that you have provided a way to save me because I cannot save myself by my own works, I sincerely ask your forgiveness for all my sins and I ask you to make me that person you want me to be. I believe in you, in your word and I accept this free gift that is eternal life).
Say Amen in Jesus name!
