Heaven-bound??

Are you 100% sure that if you were to die today, that you would go to Heaven??

What if I told you that you can know without a doubt that Heaven will be your home when you die?

The Bible (KJV) says in I John 5:13:
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

God is promising us that there is a way to know that you can have eternal life, but there are a few things that we must realize first.

1.  Realize that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:10 says "As it is written, there are none righteous, no, not one."
Romas 3:23 says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Nobody is perfect..not you, not me.  We all sin, it is our nature.

God is perfect.  Heaven is perfect.
Jesus is the only perfect person to ever walk this earth.
The rest of us sin....robbery, murder, adultery, even so much as telling is lie is a sin.

2.  Realize that there is a penalty for sin. 
Romans 6:23a says "For the wages of sin is death;"


What kind of death?
Romans 5:12 tells us: "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 sinned:"

When Adam sinned against god, he died a spiritual death. 
That same death has been passed down to you and me, when we first sinned.
If a sinner dies physically in this condition, Revelation 20:14 says: "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death."
The lake of fire = Hell.  That is where you and I deserve to go for sinning and breaking God's law.
That is our wages or "payment" for sin.

3.  Realize Jesus Christ paid the debt.
Romans 5:8 says
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 6:23b says "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Jesus shed His blood on the cross and paid for all of your sins,
and now offers to you the free gift of salvation.

4.  Realize now, you must receive that free gift, trust Christ as your Saviour.
Romans 10:9, 13 says "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."
"For whosoever {insert your name here} shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

If you realize these things and want to be saved, then pray from your heart something like this:

Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner; I know that I deserve Hell for my sins.  I am trusting you as my Saviour, and my only way to Heaven.  Please save me right now.

If you meant that with all of your heart; the Bible says that you are saved, and on your way to Heaven.
