HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN!

 
The Bible clearly shows how a person can know that they are going to heaven. You can know these truths. Take the time to read the following to receive the greatest gift available to you. Only you can do it for you! It is a simple thing called FAITH!
 
F is for FORGIVENESS.
 
                      We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness.
                              The Bible says: "In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through
                                                    His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  Ephesians 1:7a
 
A is for AVAILABLE.
                   Forgiveness is available. It is?
                    AVAILABLE FOR ALL.
 
I is for IMPOSSIBLE.
 
                          
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
                          BUT NOT AUTOMATIC
 
                    In the Bible Jesus says: "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord,
                    shall enter the kingdom of heaven?  Matthew 7:21
 
                   GOD IS?
                         LOVE - "For God so loved the world, He gave his only Son,
                          that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting
                          life."  John 3:16
                        JUST- "For judgement is without mercy?  James 2:13a
                        MAN IS SINFUL- "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
                        of God."  Romans 3:23
 
                    QUESTION: 
                     But how can a sinful person enter heaven, were God allows no sin?
 
T is for TURN.
 
                    QUESTION:
                    If you were driving down the road and someone asked you to turn,
                    what would he or she be asking  you to do
                     Simply, they would be asking you to change directions.
 
                    Turn means repent.
 
                    TURN from something?  sin and self
                              The Bible says:  "But unless you repent, you will all
                              likewise perish."  Luke 13:3b.
                          TURN to Someone; trust Christ only
                              The Bible tells us that, "Christ died for our sins according
                               to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and rose again
                              the third day according to the Scriptures."  1Corinthians 15:3b-4
                              
                              The Bible also says, "If you confess with your mouth the
                              Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
                              God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."  Romans 10:9
 
H is for HEAVEN.
 
               HEAVEN is eternal life.  Heaven is HERE.
 
                   In the Bible Jesus says:  "I have come that they may have life, and that they
                   may have it more abunantly."  John 10:10B
 
                    HEREAFTER
 
                    In the Bible Jesus says:  "And if I go and prepare a place for you,
                    I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am,
                    there you may be also."  John 14:3
 
The above shows you that you can be sure you are going to heaven by admitting
that you are a sinner, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, and committing your life
to Him. You do this by coming to Him (Jesus Christ) in a conversation that is
called prayer. If you would like to receive forgiveness of your sins and know for
sure that you will go to heaven someday, you can pray this simple prayer:
 
                    
Dear Lord, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died
to forgive me for my sins. I ask you to forgive me for my sins and
give me eternal life. I commit my life to following the teachings
of Jesus Christ, and I thank you now for saving me. I pray this
in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
