The Bible Way to Heaven

1. Admit you are a sinner.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; -Romans 3:23
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: -Romans 5:12
*No one is good enough to go to Heaven on their own merit. No matter how much good we do, we still come short.
2. Realize the penalty for your sin.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. -Romans 6:23
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: -Romans 5:12
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. -Revelation 20:14-15
*There is a payment for our sin which is eternal death in a place called Hell and the Lake of Fire.
3. Believe that Christ died, was buried and rose from the grave as a payment for your sin.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8
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
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; – Acts 10:39-40
*Salvation is simply putting your faith (or believing) that Jesus Christ paid for your sins.
4. Understand that salvation will last forever.
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; -Titus 1:2
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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 3:15-16
*When God saves you he gives you “eternal/everlasting” life; in other words, life that will never end; life that will last forever. So, when he saves you it is forever. No matter what you do after you receive “the gift of eternal life” it can never end. Otherwise God lied, and we know that God “cannot lie”.
5. Pray and ask Jesus Christ to save you.
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 with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:9-10
*Eternal life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith. Anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved forever. Being saved is a one time event. All you have to do is ask.
Let us help you word a prayer. Realize it is not mere words that save, but your faith in Jesus Christ.
Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I know I deserve to go to Hell. But I believe that you died on the cross, were buried, and rose from the grave to pay for my sins. Please save me and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.
