How to Go to Heaven
Purely According to the Bible
The Bible gives a clear and certain answer. It’s not about religion or effort. It’s about Jesus… Just keep reading.
Do You Know Where You Will Spend Eternity?
Life is short – very short. Death is certain, but then… eternity is also forever. That can be scary, and it honestly should be – to an extent. The good news is that you can actually know you’re going to Heaven.
Frankly, I have met too many people who through no fault of their own are convinced that there is no hope for them, because either they are too bad, or they rightly see their sin. I’m about to tell you what I have told so many of them. In the end, you will be left with a choice. Just hear me out.
God Loves You - But Sin Separates Us
You probably already believe that God made you. If not, you’ve at least considered the possibility. Because you’re here! You aren’t the result of some hyper-intelligent gasses that decided to self-destruct but accidentally made a complex universe instead… Sounds a lot like the original AI disaster. lol.
The God Who made you actually loves you – so much that he literally gave you the choice to love Him back. Sadly, in some ways (and in many cases a lot of ways) you, and I, have choses to turn the other way in sin. This separates us from God, Who is perfect.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
– Romans 3:23
We Cannot Save Ourselves
Because you have sinned, you have a tarnished record. You can no longer reach Heaven by being a good person or doing good things. You are not perfect, and if you think are – that you measure up to God’s level of perfection – you’ve been tricked.
“There is none righteous, no, not one.”
– Romans 3:10
“…all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags…”
– Isaiah 64:6
Religion, kindness, baptism, or church attendance won’t save you. No matter what the future holds, you cannot change what is in your past.
Forgiveness is not a reward for the righteous; it’s a gift for the guilty.
Jesus Paid for the Gift
Did I mention something about a gift? Oh yeah…
“For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
– Romans 6:23
Forgiveness, eternal life in Heaven, is a gift. That’s why Jesus Christ came. That’s why He had to die – to pay for this very expensive gift. He gave His clean, pure, holy blood as the sacrifice that would solely pay for your reconciliation with God.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
– Romans 5:8
Accept the Gift by Faith
The Bible says it clearly:
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
– Acts 16:31
That’s the message, and that’s the question. This is your choice. Do you believe it? Do you believe that it is that simple? Do you believe that God actually loves you enough that He would pay the whole price for forgiveness? Do you choose to let go of your failed trying and trust only in what He did to save you?
I know logically, this doesn’t make sense. We all ask ourselves at some point or other, “Why doesn’t God just force us to earn our way back into his grace?”
The fact is that He loves us And love… it doesn’t have to make sense. There never has to be a rational reason. That’s the true beauty of love in any relationship – true love is a free gift. Will you accept it?
“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.”
– John 3:16
Those are God’s T’s & C’s. Will you agree to them? Just check the box in your heart. It’s all you have to do. Trust Him, and for that simple act of faith, He will forgive every wrong thing that you ever have done or ever will do.
So… what do you say? Will you choose to trust Him? If so, try saying it out loud. Sometimes it just helps to hear yourself say it. Tell God.
And well… tell me. If this has helped you, or you have a genuine question, seriously, let me know. You can message me here.
