There are five things God wants you to know before you can go to heaven.
1. You Are a Sinner
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
All of us have broken God’s law one time or another and because of it, we are all sinners.
Do you realize you are a sinner?
2. There is a Price on Sin
The price on sin is death. Death means separation.
Physical Death
Romans 5:12 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.
Physical death is separation of the soul and spirit from the body.
Spiritual Death
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our savior.
This means if you died and received the wages of your sin you would have to spend eternity separated from God in hell.
Do you realize that if you died right now and received the wages for your sin you would have to spend eternity separated from God in Hell, according to the Bible?
3. Jesus Paid the Price for Your Sins
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God loves you very much and he doesn’t want you to go to Hell. In fact, He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to bear your sins upon His Body. He died, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Do you realize that Jesus paid the price for your sins on the cross according to the Bible?
4. Heaven is a Gift God Wants to Give You
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Do you realize that Heaven is a gift and not something we can work for, according to the Bible?
5. You Must Personally Receive Jesus Christ as Your Savior
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If a person, realizing that they deserve Hell as a payment of their sin and that Jesus died for them, were to call upon Him for forgiveness and eternal life He would save them. To be saved is, of course, to be saved from eternal death in hell.
Do you realize that if you called upon Jesus and asked for forgiveness and eternal life He would give it to you according to the Bible?
IF YOU REALIZE THESE FIVE THINGS, WHY DON’T YOU JUST BOW YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW AND SINCERELY ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU AND SAVE YOUR SOUL.
Dear Jesus, Please forgive me of all my sins. Come into my heart and save me. I am now trusting you for eternal life.
