Because God said so!
Isaiah
64:6a But we are all as
Isaiah
64:6a But we are all as
an unclean thing, and
all our righteousnesses
[baptism, good works,
religious ceremonies,
church traditions,
tithe money, etc.] are
as filthy rags...
But please do not get
discouraged. There is
good news coming
later in this post.
God. You do not work to
earn a gift. You just
have to accept the
gift.
Ephesians
2:8 For by grace [God's
unearned favor] are ye
saved through faith;
and that not of
yourselves: it is the
gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest
any man should boast.
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is
not justified by the
works of the law [good
deeds, baptism, etc.],
but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have
believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified
by the faith of Christ, and
not by the works of the
law: for by the works
of the law shall no
flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the
grace of God: for if
righteousness come
by the law [good
works], then Christ is
dead in vain.
Philippians 3:9
And be found in him,
Philippians 3:9
And be found in him,
not having mine own
righteousness, which
is of the law, but that
which is through the
faith of Christ, the
righteousness which
is of God by faith:
Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude
that a man is justified
by faith without the
deeds of the law.
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;
Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an
unclean thing, and all
our righteousnesses
are as filthy rags; and
we all do fade as a leaf;
and our iniquities [sins],
like the wind, have
taken us away.
If you have would like
to know how to get
saved from your sins
and know you will go
to heaven when you
die, God's Holy Word,
the King James Bible,
tells us how.
How Can I Get To Heaven?
How can you be
saved from your sins
saved from your sins
and know that you will
go to heaven when
you die? God's Holy
Word, the King James
Bible, tells us how:
Agree with God in
heaven that you are
a sinner and need a
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;
Believe that Jesus
Christ, the Sinless Son
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay
for your sins (and
mine). Three days later
He rose from the dead.
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth
his love toward us, in
that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Repent of trusting in
anything or anyone
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism,
good works, money/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.
God tells us that as
many as received
Jesus Christ as their
Saviour and believed
on his name (trusted
him as Saviour), he
gave them power to
become the sons
(and daughters) of
God the Father in
heaven!
John 1:12
But as many as received
him [trusted Jesus], to
them gave he power to
become the sons of God,
even to them that
believe on his name.
So, if you confessed to
God in heaven that you
are a sinner in need of
a Saviour, and you
believe that Jesus Christ
died for your sins and
that God raised him
from the dead, then
you shall be saved.
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?'
