May I ask you a question?
If your life ended today, do you know for certain that you would be with God in heaven?
If God asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would you say?

Sin means missing God’s perfect standard. It includes what we think, say, and do. Even our best effort cannot make us perfect before God.
Read in the Bible23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
A wage is something earned. Scripture says sin earns death—physical death and separation from God. We cannot repair that separation by ourselves.
Read in the Bible23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, took the judgment our sin deserved. He died, was buried, and rose again. The cross shows God’s love for sinners.
Read in the Bible8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Read in the Bible3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
God does not offer salvation as a reward for religion or good works. It is His gift of grace, received by faith. Trusting Christ means relying on who He is and what He has done—not on what we can do.
Read in the Bible8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Repentance is a change of mind that turns from sin toward God. Faith is personally trusting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Confession openly agrees with God about who Jesus is and what He has done.
Read in the Bible21Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Read in the Bible9That 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.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
You may speak to God in your own words. A prayer does not earn or create salvation; it is simply one way to express genuine repentance and faith in Christ.
Read in the Bible13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Read in the Bible16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If you have trusted Christ, rest in God’s promise—not in a feeling. Tell another Christian, begin reading God’s Word, pray, and connect with a Bible-believing local church.
Read in the Bible11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13These 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.
