There is no verse in
the Bible that says that
everyone is going to
heaven!
But, please read the
whole Bible study
because there is
Good News coming!
Jesus said that THE
way to heaven is
narrow, and FEW
there be that find it!
But, don't get
discouraged, the
Good News is
coming! Please
keep reading.
Words in red are
the words of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Words in bold are
for emphasis.
Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is
the way, which
leadeth unto life,
and few there be
that sins (that's me and
you) shall die!
Keep reading to
get to the Good
News!
Ezekiel 18:4
Behold, all souls are
mine; as the soul of
the father, so also
the soul of the son
is mine: the soul
that sinneth, it
shall die.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned,
and come short of
the glory of God;
The Bible says that
The Bible says that
the wages of sin is
death!
But the Good
News is that the
Gift of God is
eternal life through
his Sinless Son,
Jesus Christ!
Romans 6:23
For the wages of
sin is death; but
the gift of God is
eternal life through
Jesus Christ our
Lord.
We cannot get to
heaven by our good
works! Keep
reading. The
Good News
is coming.
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;
None of us is
None of us is
righteous enough
to get into heaven!
But Keep reading
because the Good
News is coming.
Romans 3:10
As it is written,
As it is written,
There is none
righteous, no,
not one:
All of our righteous
deeds (good works)
are as filthy rags to
God because He is
perfect and holy,
and in order to get
into HIS heaven,
we have to be
perfect. Yikes!
That leaves me
out!
But, please do
But, please do
not get
discouraged.
Please keep
reading,
because the
Good News is
coming.
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.
God the Father in
heaven loved us
so much that he
sacrificed his
Sinless Son, Jesus
Christ, to die
for our sins! He
is not willing
that any should
perish (see the
verse below). He
wants everyone
to come to
repentance of
their sins (be
sorry enough to
stop doing them).
But, sadly, not
everyone wants
to confess to God
in heaven that
they are a sinner,
and acknowledge
that Jesus Christ
died in their place
for their sins in
order to spend
eternity in
heaven! It's
their choice of
where they will
spend eternity -
in heaven or in
hell! God does
not send them
there. They
choose to sin
against God
and reject the
blood payment
Jesus Christ
made on the
cross to pay
for the sins of
the whole
world! How
sad for them!
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not
slack concerning
his promise, as
some men count
slackness; but is
longsuffering to
us-ward, not
willing that any
should perish, but
that all should
come to
repentance.
Jesus Christ, the
Jesus Christ, the
only begotten
SINLESS Son of
God, was the ONLY
ONE who could
have paid the sin
debt for the world
because He is
perfect and sinless!
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he [God the
Father in heaven]
hath made him
[Jesus Christ] to
be sin for us,
who knew no
sin; that we
might be made
the righteousness
of God in him.
1 Peter 2:22
[Jesus Christ] Who did
no sin, neither was
guile found in his
mouth:
1 John 3:5
And ye know that
he [Jesus Christ]
was manifested [seen]
to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin.
How Can I Get To
Heaven?
How can you be
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?'
