Let me explain to you from the Bible how you can know for sure that if you died today, you would go to heaven.
God loves us and gave His Son to die for us….
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 5:8 “But God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
We are all sinners and separated from God….
Romans 3:10 "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
There is a penalty for sin….
Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the word, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
There is no sin so great that God cannot forgive….
Ephesians 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
What should I do?
Realizing that you are a sinner and separated from God, confess your sin, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and commit your life to Him.
1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
John 1:12 "But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."
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."
Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Pray….
Dear God, I believe that Christ died for my sins. I confess that I am a sinner. Forgive me of all my sins and wash me in the blood of Jesus. I now receive Jesus into my heart as my Savior. Help me to make Jesus Lord of my life. Thank you Father for my salvation. In Jesus name, Amen.
