Can a person know he is going to heaven?
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost. – Luke 19:10
Who is lost?
Romans 3:10 – As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.
Who has sinned?
Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Where did sin come from?
Romans 5:12 – Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
God’s penalty for sin
Romans 6:23a – For the wages of sin is death;
Revelation 21:8 – But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and scorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death
Revelation 20:14 – And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Jesus paid the penalty
John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 6:23b – but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
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.
Romans 10:13 – For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Four things must be understood in order to go to heaven.
We are all sinners.
- The price for sin is separation from God in hell forever.
- Jesus Christ is God and died on the cross for our sin, paying for our sin debt.
- Whoever calls on Christ in faith believing they are deserving of hell, and that He is their only hope, will surely be saved.
- If you see your need of Jesus Christ to be your Savior, simply ask Him to save you, here is a simple prayer that you can use:
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I deserve to go to hell. I believe that Jesus is God and that He died for me and rose again. Please give me the gift of eternal life and take me to heaven when I die. I trust only in You to take me to heaven. Amen
If you have just made the most important decision of your life in trusting Christ as your Savior, please let us know.
