IN YOUR PERSONAL OPINION, WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND IT TAKES FOR A PERSON TO GO TO HEAVEN?
It takes F.A.I.T.H
F is for Forgiveness
"We cannot have eternal life or heaven without God's forgiveness"
"In Him we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins" Ephesians 1:7
A is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available. It is.....
AVAILABLE FOR ALL
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16
BUT NOT AUTOMATIC
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 7:21
I is for IMPOSSIBLE
"It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven"
God is.....
Love - "For God so loved the world...." John 3:16
Just - "For judgment is without mercy" James 2:13
Man is.....
Sinful - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23
So how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin?
T is for TURN
TURN means repent
TURN from something - sin and self
"But unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish" Luke 13:3
TURN to Someone; trust Christ only
"Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and rose again on the third day according to scriptures" I Corinthians 15:3-4
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" Romans 10:9
H is for HEAVEN
"Heaven is eternal life"
HERE - "I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly" John 10:10
HEREAFTER - "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, so that where I am there you may be also" John 14:3
HOW - There is something else you can take the word FAITH and make a part of your life and that is FORSAKING ALL I TRUST HIM.
If you would like to receive the forgiveness of sin that is available to all people then you can turn to Christ today and begin your journey of faith toward heaven.
If you would like to do that today simply say a prayer something like this:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I also, know that the only way to heaven is the forgiveness of sin through your blood that was shed on the cross. I know that I can have eternal life because you were raised on the third day from the dead. You are the risen Son of God. I ask you right now to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart, be Lord of My life and save me. AMEN
