Many people want to get to
Heaven some day, Heavne, that beautiful land where there
is 'no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain' Rev 21:4 and the dwelling
place of the Lord Jesus Christ.
A lot of people have different notions regarding
the way to this wonderful place. Multitudes are of the
opinion that having been baptised and confirmed they
are guaranteed a place in Heaven. Many feel that church
attendance can merit an entrance into the glory land
whilst others depend upon their self-righteousness and
good works to secure incomparable bliss in the eternal
home. The Bible, which is the Word of God,
reveals the only way to Heaven. In order for you
to be sure that you will go to Heaven when you die, or if the
Lord returns to earth before you die, then you must...
RECOGNISE YOU ARE A
SINNER
The Bible teaches that every man, woman and
child are sinners:-
'for all have sinned'
(Romans 3:23)
'unrighteous'
(Romans 3:10)
'unclean'
(Isaiah 64:6)
'unjust and no good'
(Ecc. 7:20)
Irrespective of how religious,
how upright or how respectable you may be, until
you recognise the fact that by nature you are a sinner,
you will never be able to get to Heaven.
REPENT OF YOUR SINS
Repentance means to confess
your sins and forsake them. 'Let the wicked forsake his
way and the unrighteous man his thoughts'(Isaiah 57:7)
'If we confess our sins, He
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness'(1 John 1:9).
We must confess our sins to the Lord and not to man foe
it is only the Lord who has the power to forgive sins.
'Who can forgive sins BUT GOD ONLY"(Mark 2:7).
It is so important and necessary for sinners to repent
that the Lord Jesus said, 'Except ye repent ye shall
all likewise perish' (Luke 13:3
,5).
RECEIVE CHRIST AS SAVIOUR
Eternal Salvation and the blessed assurance
of a place in Gods' Heaven are not to be found in a
church or a creed but in one Person- the God M
an - the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to what the apostle
Peter says, 'Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under Heaven given among
men whereby we must be saved'(Acts 4:12). The only name
where Salvation is found is the name of Jesus. 'Thou
shalt call His name Jesus for He shall save his people
from their sins'(Matt. 1:21).
To have eternal life is to have a
place in Heaven reserved for you. Remember you must Receive
and appropriate to you self the Lord Jesus Christ and His
atoning work once wrought at Calvary and never to be repeated.
Who ever you are, right now at this moment,
start out for Heaven by recognising you are a sinner,
by repenting of your sins and by receiving the Lord as your Saviour.
