Know God

According to recent surveys, over 94% of people believe in God and 89% believe in heaven- and 75% of those people think they will get to heaven. Few people, however actually know how to get to heaven.

In your opinion, what do you think it takes to get to heaven? It's really very simple. Here's what the Bible says about how you can get to heaven-

Know God.

To be sure you are going to heaven, it is essential that you know God in a personal relationship. Without his relationship, you are completely separated from Him. (Romans 3:23; 6:23)

Name Jesus As Your Lord and Savior.

You must believe that Jesus is who He said He is- God's Son. As the perfect, sinless Son of God, only Jesus can forgive your sin. (Romans 10:9-10)

Own Up To Your Sin.

Take personal responsibility for your sin and confess it to God. He will hear your prayer and forgive you of your sin. Forgiveness is a free gift- all you have to do is ask. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 1:9-10)

Walk A Different Direction.

The Bible calls this turning away from your sinful choices repentance. To repent really just means to go in a different direction. As a Christian, you will want to live differently. (Luke 13:3; Ephesians 5:8)

Never Doubt That God Loves You.

You can be certain that God loves you and that He has forgiven your sin. He wants you to know, beyond any doubt, that you will spend eternity with Him in heaven. (John 3:16; 1 John 5:13)

Prayer.

Lord Jesus, I want to know You in a personal relationship. I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways. I know You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask You to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You and makes You known to others. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.

After you have received Jesus Christ into your life, tell another Christian about the important decision you have made. Follow Christ in believer's baptism and church membership. Grow in your faith and enjoy new friends in Christ by becoming part of His church and attending a Bible study class a church has just for you. You'll find others who will love and support you.
