The most important question
Going to Heaven? You can know. God has made the way clear.
The Bible gives a simple answer to the question of salvation. You do not have to earn heaven, fix yourself first, or wonder where you stand with God.
The Gospel
How can I be saved?
John 3:16 tells us that salvation begins with God’s love and is received through faith in Jesus Christ.
“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
Four simple truths
Receive this personally
The Bible’s answer is not a religious checklist. It is a personal response to what Jesus Christ has already done for you.
1.
ADMIT you are a sinner
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
2.
ABANDON your efforts to save yourself
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8–9
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…” Titus 3:5
3.
ACKNOWLEDGE Jesus Christ’s 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 he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
4.
ACCEPT Jesus Christ as your personal Savior
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” Acts 16:31
“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.” Romans 10:9

You can trust Christ today
Salvation is not found in repeating perfect words. If this expresses the faith of your heart, you can pray something like this to God:
Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. I believe that the payment for my sin is an eternity in the lake of fire. But I believe that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, became a man to die for my sins. He shed His blood on the cross, died, was buried and rose again for my salvation. Right now, I am asking Jesus Christ to forgive me of all my sins and become my personal Savior. In Jesus’ name I ask this, Amen.
