| ...to Life's Ultimate Question |
| In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? The Bible answers this question. It is a matter of... FAITH F Is for FORGIVENESS We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness. "In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins"-- Ephesians 1:7a A Is for AVAILABLE Forgiveness is available. It is-- Available for All "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" --John 3:16 But Not Automatic "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven" --Matthew 7:21a I Is for IMPOSSIBLE It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven. Why? Because of Who He Is God is loving and just. His judgement is against sin. "For judgement is without mercy"--James 2:13a Because of Who We Are Every person is a sinner. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" ---Romans 3:23 But how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin? T Is for Turn Turn means repent. Turn from Something -- Sin and Self "But unless you repent you will all likewise perish" --Luke13:3b Turn to Someone; Trust Christ Only (The Bible tells us that) "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" --1Corinthians 15:3b-4. "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"--Romans 10:9 H Is for HEAVEN Heaven is eternal life. HERE "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly"--John 10:10b HEREAFTER "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also"--John 14:3 HOW How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. SALVATION PRAYER "Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that You arose from the grave. I now ask You to forgive me of my sins and to save my soul. Amen" |
