How to Be Saved

 
DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN?
 
There are several important things you must know in order to answer this question...  
 
1.  God wants to share His love with us. 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) 

 
2.  Christ died for us even though we are undeserving.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) 
 
3.  Our sin separates us from a Holy God.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  (Romans 3:23) 
 
4.  Our good works will not get us to Heaven.
”He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy…" (Titus 3:5) 
 
5.  We must accept by faith that Christ is the only way to Heaven and receive Him as our Savior.
”For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
”Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
 
 
WILL YOU TRUST JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR NOW?
 
   "Dear Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and believe you died to pay my sin debt.  As best I know how, I receive You as my Savior and trust you to take me to Heaven when I die.  Thank You for saving me today." 

"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5:12)
