The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven

Good works cannot save you.
|
|
|
|

of God– not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (New International Version)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:
|
|
|
|
1. Admit you are a sinner.
|
|
|
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23 NIV)
|
|
|
"Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through
sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned–" (Romans 5:
12 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his
word has no place in our lives.." (1 John 1:10 NIV)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
|
|
|
|
Jesus said: "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." (Luke 13:5 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent"
(Acts 17:30 NIV)
|
|
|
|
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
|
|
|
|
“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 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 NIV)
|
|
|
"That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9 NIV)
|
|
|
|
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour.
|
|
|
"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:10 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13 NIV)
|
|
|
|
What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed
His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite
Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.
|
|
|
|
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God– John 1:12 (NIV)
|
|
|
|
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old
has gone, the new has come!
|
|
|
|
Corinthians 5:17 (New International Version)
|
|
|
|
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:
|
|
|
|
1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.
|
|
|
|
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to
be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105 NIV)
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
|
|
|
|
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 NIV)
|
|
|
|
3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a
church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
|
|
|
|
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Matthew 28:19 NIV)
|
|
|
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one
another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"All Scripture is Godbreathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,"
(2 Timothy 3:16 NIV)
|
|
|
|
4. Tell others about Christ.
|
|
|
|
"He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation". (Mark 16:15 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach
the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16 NIV)
|
|
|
|
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who
believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." (Romans 1:16 NIV)
