God's Simple Plan of Salvation

How To Go To Heaven

The Bible says there is only one way to be saved and go to Heaven.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."  (John 14:6)

Good works alone can not save you.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast."  (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Turn to Jesus Christ now!  Here is what you must do:

1.  Admit you are a sinner.

"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"  (Romans 3:23)

"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in the death came to all men, because all sinned-"  (Romans 5:12)

"If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."  (I John 1:10)

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."  (Romans 6:23)

2.  Be willing to repent from your sin.

Jesus said:  "I tell you, no!  But unless you repent, you too will all perish."  (Luke 13:5) 

"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent."  (Acts 17:30)

3.  Believe that Jesus Christ shed His blood and died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  (John 3:16)

 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  (Romans 5:8)

"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."  (Romans 10:9)

4.  Now pray to invite Jesus Christ into your life to become your savior.

"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."  (Romans 10:10)

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."  (Romans 10:13)

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."  (John 1:12)

 

PRAYER OF SALVATION Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sins. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.

 

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"  (2 Corinthians 5:17)

If you have just received Jesus Christ as your savior, we would love to hear about it.  

Once you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:

1.  Read your Bible every day to learn more about and get closer to Jesus.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."  (Psalms 119:105)

2.  Talk to God by praying every day.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."  (Psalms 119:105)

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  (I Thessalonians 5:16-19)

  3.  Find a local church where Jesus Christ is worshiped and preached from the bible.

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."  (Hebrews 10:25)

 4 .   Share Jesus Christ to others!

"He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.'"  (Mark 16:15)

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes:  first for the Jew, then for the Gentile."  (Romans 1:16)
