Can I Be Saved After I Die?

What does God's Holy 
Word, the King James 
Bible, say about that? 

Please read all of this 
post because first comes 
the Bad News, but there 
is Good News coming 
further on in this Bible 
study! 
First the bad news: we 
are ALL separated from 
Holy God because of 
our sins. But please 
keep reading further
for the Good News!

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and 
come short of the glory 
of God; 

The bad news is that 
the Bible says that once 
we die, there is no hope 
for us to be saved after 
death. But please keep 
reading further for the 
Good News.

Hebrews 9:27  

And as it is appointed 
unto 
men once to die, but after 
this the judgment:

Proverbs 11:7

When a wicked man dieth, 
his expectation shall 
perish: and the hope 
of unjust men perisheth.

Perhaps you do not think 
you are wicked? But God 
says you (AND I) are all
wicked. 

But please keep reading 
because further on in 
this post for Good News.

Romans 3:10  

As it is written, There is 
none righteous, no, not 
one:

Jeremiahs 17:9  

The heart is deceitful 
above all things, and 
desperately wicked: 
who can know it?

1 John 1:8  

If we say that we have 
no sin, we deceive 
ourselves, and the 
truth is not in us.

The Bible says that the 
penalty for sin is death. 
But do not get 
discouraged because 
there is Good News 
coming. Please keep 
reading.

Romans 6:23 

For the wages of sin is 
death; but the gift of God 
is eternal life through 
Jesus Christ our Lord.

But the Good News is that 
God loved us So Much that 
He sent His only begotten 
Sinless Son, Jesus Christ, 
to die in our place and then 
He raised Him from the 
dead!

John 3:16 (Jesus said:)
For God so loved the 
world, that he gave 
his only begotten Son, 
that whosoever believeth 
in him [Jesus Christ] 
should not perish, but 
have everlasting life.

Now that Good News
I told you about earlier
in this post: How to
be saved from your sins
and go to heaven when
you die. And when you
know where you are 
going when you die, 
you never need to fear 
what comes after death 
ever again! That is 
what gives me hope, 
peace, and joy! My
wish is for you to 
have that same hope,
peace and joy.

How Can I Get To Heaven?

How can I be saved 
from my sins and know
that I will go to heaven
when I die? God's Holy 
Word, the King James 
Bible, tells us how:

Agree with God in  
heaven that you are 
sinner and need 
Saviour. GOD SAYS 
WE ARE ALL 
SINNERS. But keep 
reading because 
there is Good News 
for you: 

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, 
and come short of the
glory of God;

Be willing to turn from 
your sin (repent). 

Acts 17:30  
And the times of this 
ignorance God winked 
at; but now commandeth 
all men every where to 
repent: 

Believe that Jesus 
Christ, the Sinless Son 
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay 
for your sins and 
mine, was buried, 
and that three 
days later He rose 
from the dead. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

Repent of trusting in 
anything or anyone 
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism, 
good works, idols,
false gods, $/tithes
man-made church 
rules or traditions,
or religious 
ceremonies) to 
save you.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of
righteousness which we 
have done, but according 
to his mercy he saved us, 
by the washing of 
regeneration, and 
renewing of the Holy 
Ghost;

Jesus said that we do 
not get to heaven by our
good works (stuff we
have done). See verses
7:22 and 7:23 below!

Matthew
7:21 Not every one that 
saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into 
the kingdom of heaven; 
but he that doeth the 
will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

7:22 Many will say to 
me in that day, Lord, 
Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy 
name? and in thy 
name have cast 
out devils? and in 
thy name done 
many wonderful 
works? 

7:23 And then will I 
profess unto them, 
I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye 
that work iniquity. 

Accept God's Free 
Gift of eternal life 
through his Sinless 
Son, the Lord Jesus 
Christ. It is a free gift 
to you, but it cost Jesus
Christ his life! You do 
not have to work to 
earn a Gift - It is free!

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is 
death; but the gift of 
God is eternal life 
through Jesus Christ 
our Lord.

Ask Jesus Christ to be 
your personal Saviour 
and Lord of your life.

Romans 10:13 
For whosoever shall 
call upon the name 
of the Lord shall be 
saved. 

So, if you did that and
sincerely meant it,
then you are now a
Christian! Welcome
to the family. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

And when you die, you 
will go straight to heaven
to be with Jesus Christ 
forever and ever! The
following Bible verse
is one of my favorites.
It gave me comfort when
I went through double
breast cancer surgery
for I knew that if I died
on the operating table
I would immediately be
in heaven with Jesus!
Knowing that is why I
no longer fear what 
comes after death. 
What freedom there is 
in knowing that.

2 Corinthians 5:8  
We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be 
absent from the body, 
and to be present with 
the Lord.

One note to all dear 
Catholics: The Catholic
church says that it is 
wrong to believe that 
you can know you are 
saved before you die. 
Please think about
this: God is a God of 
love. After all he sent
his Son to die for your
sins so you could be
with him in heaven for
eternity! That is love!
Why would a God of love
want you to worry all of
your life whether you will 
go to heaven or hell when
you die? God in heaven 
wants us to have peace 
and joy in this life as we 
live for him and draw 
others to him as their 
Saviour. Only a cruel 
God would want us 
worried and stressed 
about what comes after 
death. But GOD LOVES
YOU and wants you to 
have peace knowing that
you are saved now and 
can know now that you 
are going to heaven when
you die! Please trust your
loving heavenly Father's 
Holy Word (the King James
Bible) when God tells you 
that you will be with Him 
after death if you trusted
Jesus Christ as your 
Saviour!

And now that you have 
become a Christian, it
is important to learn how
to live a life that glorifies
God in heaven who gave
you the Gift of salvation.

Now That I Am Saved?'
