The key for anyone whether you are a man or woman to walking worthy for the King is your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I hope and pray that you already have a personal relationship with Him. If you do not, I would like to inform you how you can have that relationship with the Savior..
A compass is an important instrument to someone who is not sure which way to go. No matter where you are going, a compass can point you in the right direction. When it comes to spiritual decisions, how do you know which way to go? The Bible is a spiritual compass. You can have confidence that it will point you in the right direction. The Bible is God's inerrant, infallible word. The following verses are given in God's Word to show you how to get to Heaven.I would like you assure you , you can know for sure that you have eternal life!
“These things have I written unto you... that ye may know that ye have eternal life...”1 John 5:13 (KJV)
God desires for you to be sure you are going to heaven when you die. Where you spend eternity is the most important decision you will ever make. Having a “wait-and-see” or “cross-your-fingers” attitude is not what God intended. In the Bible, God says you can know that you have eternal life.
The first questions I would like to ask you is this.
If you were to die today, are you 100% sure you would go to Heaven when you die?
How did you become a sinner? Adam, the first man whom God created, sinned by disobeying God. Everyone born after him was born with a desire to do wrong. The result of sin is death and eternal separation form God in hell. You might say I have never sinned, or I am a good person, I try my best to live right and do what I should. I have one question for you, have you ever told a lie? Stole? Disobeyed your parents? Broke the law? All those things I have just listed is sin. There is no way to get around it. I know I have lied, and disobeyed my parents, I am not proud of it, but it is in our nature to do so.“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 sinner.” Romans 5:12 (KJV)
Do you realize we are all born with a sinful nature, do you realize you are a sinner?
“For the wages of sin is death...” Romans 6:23 (KJV)
Do you know what a wage is? Have you ever worked a job and you get payed daily, weekly or even monthly? A wage is simply what you earned by what you do. In this case, it is your sin. Because of this sin, we are condemned to death.
Have you ever heard of the second death? The second death is a spiritual death, when your soul either goes to Heaven or Hell. If you are not saved, you will spend eternity in hell. You will be separated from God for forever. Forever is never ending, It knows no end.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8 (KJV)
If you notice the latter part of this verse it says, "...and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone..." Do you remember a little while ago, we came to the common knowledge that you have at one point told a lie, as did I? How many people do you have to kill to be called a murderer? one. How many times do you have to steal to be called a thief? one time. How many lies do you have to tell to be a liar? one.
Where are you going? Hell? Heaven?
If you are still not sure or you know you are headed to Hell. Don't worry, it does not end there! :)
Eternal life is not gained by balancing more good works than sins committed. It is a free gift. A gift is voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation. This means eternal life is free.“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." Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
Have you ever received a present on your birthday? Your friend or parents gave it to you. Did you have to give anything for it, did they make a condition before you received it? Of course not, they gave it freely and willingly. It is a gift. You see God sent His only Son, to die on the cross for your sins on Calvary!!! :)
Do you understand that eternal life cannot be earned.
Jesus Christ died for you sins!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 (KJV)
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 (KJV)God proved His love for you by sending His Son Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for your sin. Jesus died in your place. His death provided the only way to heaven.
Do you understand that Jesus died for you?
"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 (KJV)Some think there are many ways to eternal life (Heaven) or that any belief will lead to it. But the Bible, our spiritual compass, points to Jesus as the only way.
Do you remember a time in your life when you believed on Jesus Christ as your Savior?
You can receive Jesus Christ as your Savior!
"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 10:9 (KJV)
"...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." Acts 16:31 (KJV)
Believing is not merely acknowledging that Jesus existed or that He was a good example.
Believing is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. You must have faith that He died for you, paid the price for your sin, and is the only way to heaven. You can express you belief in Jesus through prayer.
Pray Sincerely
... You can say your own personal prayer or pray the one I will provide below. Just saying a prayer does not save you, believing in your heart on Jesus Christ is what saves you. There is no wrong words. God knows you heart. :)
You can pray... "Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and that I deserve Hell. I beleive that you died on the cross, paid the penalty for my sin, and rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in you alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank you for give me eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen."
