Can I Save Myself and Get to Heaven?

What does God's Holy 
Word, the King James 
Bible, say about 
saving ourselves? 
Please read all of 
this study because 
there is good news 
coming further in 
this post.

First of all, heaven is 
God's throne.  

Isaiah 66:1 (a) 

Thus saith the LORD, 
The heaven is my 
throne, and the 
earth is my footstool: 

Because heaven is 
God's throne, we 
must get to heaven 
God's way, not our 
way.

Proverbs 16:25 
There is a way that 
seemeth right unto 
a man, but the end 
thereof are the 
ways of death.

Keep reading - there
is good news 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;

Ephesians
2:8 For by grace 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. 

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, like the 
wind, have taken us 
away.

Matthew [Jesus:]
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. 

John 
6:28 Then said they unto 
him, What shall we do, 
that we might work the 
works of God? 

6:29 Jesus answered and 
said unto them, This is 
the work of God, that 
ye believe on him 
whom he hath sent
(meaning Himself). 

If we could work our 
way to heaven through
good stuff we do, then 
Jesus Christ was 
tortured and died 
on the cross for no 
reason! 

Galatians 2:21  
I do not frustrate the 
grace of God: for if 
righteousness 
come by the law, 
then Christ is dead 
in vain [for no 
reason]

So, how can we 
sinners ever get to 
heaven if God 
cannot be around 
sinners? 

God's Holy Word, 
the King James Bible, 
tells us that there is 
only one way into 
His holy heaven. 

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, 
I am the way, the 
truth, and the life: 
no man cometh 
unto the Father, 
but by me. 

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 (Trust) 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 to save you
(i.e. baptism, 
good works, idols,
false gods, $/tithes
man-made church 
rules or traditions,
or religious 
ceremonies).

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?'
