Hope Is A Promise From God

Hope in the world's 
view is just wishful
thinking!

Hope in the Bible is all 
about the promises 
that God made to us. 
And God cannot lie!

Titus 1:2  
In hope of eternal life, 
which God, that 
cannot lie, promised 
before the world began; 
Bold in Scripture 
verses is for emphasis.

Romans 
8:24 For we are saved by 
hope: but hope that is 
seen is not hope: for 
what a man seeth, why 
doth he yet hope for?

8:25 But if we hope for 
that we see not, then 
do we with patience 
wait for it.

2 Thessalonians
2:16 Now our Lord Jesus 
Christ himself, and God, 
even our Father, which 
hath loved us, and hath 
given us everlasting 
consolation and good 
hope through grace*
[*God's unmerited 
favor toward us],

2:17 Comfort your 
hearts, and stablish 
you in every good 
word and work. 

1 Timothy 1:1

Paul, an apostle of 
Jesus Christ by the 
commandment of 
God our Saviour, 
and Lord Jesus 
Christ, which is 
our hope;

Titus 2:13

Looking for that 
blessed hope*, and 
the glorious 
appearing of the 
great God and 
our Saviour 
Jesus Christ; 

*Jesus Christ is 
coming back to 
earth again to 
rule and reign! 

Revelation 11:15 
And the seventh angel 
sounded; and there 
were great voices in 
heaven, saying, The 
kingdoms of this 
world are become 
the kingdoms of our 
Lord, and of his 
Christ; and he 
shall reign for 
ever and ever. 

Titus 3:7

That being justified by 
his [God's] grace, we 
should be made heirs 
according to the hope 
of eternal life. 

1 John 5:13  
These things have I 
written unto you 
that believe on the 
name of the Son of 
God; that ye may 
know that ye have 
eternal life, and 
that ye may 
believe on the name 
of the Son of God.

1 Peter 1:3  
Blessed be the God 
and Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, 
which according to 
his abundant mercy 
hath begotten us 
again unto a lively 
hope by the 
resurrection of 
Jesus Christ from 
the dead,

1 Peter 1:21

Who by him do believe 
in God, that raised him 
[Jesus Christ] up from 
the dead, and gave him 
glory; that your faith and 
hope might be in God. 

Romans 15:13  
Now the God of 
hope fill you with 
all joy and peace 
in believing, that 
ye may abound in 
hope, through the 
power of the Holy 
Ghost.

Colossians 1:5  

For the hope which 
is laid up for you in 
heaven, whereof ye 
heard before in the 
word of the truth 
of the gospel;

And what is the 
gospel of Jesus 
Christ?

1 Corinthians
15:1 Moreover, 
brethren, I declare 
unto you the gospel 
which I preached 
unto you, which also ye 
have received, and 
wherein ye stand; 

15:2 By which also 
ye are saved, if ye 
keep in memory 
what I preached 
unto you, unless 
ye have believed 
in vain. 

15:3 For I delivered unto 
you first of all that which 
I also received, how that 
Christ died for our sins
according to the 
scriptures; 

15:4 And that he 
was buried, and 
that he rose again 
the third day 
according to the 
scriptures: 

15:5 And that he was 
seen of Cephas 
[Simon Peter], then 
of the twelve 
[the original 12 
disciples]

15:6 After that, he 
was seen of above 
five hundred brethren 
[believers] at once; 
of whom the greater 
part remain unto this 
present [are alive]
but some are fallen 
asleep [died]

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.
