How to Know 100% For Sure You’re Going to Heaven!
Here’s How You Can Know!
“These 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” 1 John 5:13
First, you must realize that God’s Word says we are all sinners
and our sin has separated us from a Holy God.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;”
Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one:”
No one is perfect. No one has lived up to God’s perfect standard.
James 2:10 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet
offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will
not hear.”
Second, you must realize that as a sinner you owe a penalty.
Romans 6:23a “For the wages (payment) of sin is death…”
This death is described in the Bible as the second death or the
Lake of Fire—eternal separation from God.
Revelation 20:14-15 “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.”
If we pay what we owe as sinners, we must spend an eternity in
the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Yes, the Bible teaches that there is an eternal lake of fire where
religious, as well as ungodly, sinners go who find no way of
paying the penalty of their sin. No imperfect sinner can pay his
own debt because God demands a perfect sacrifice for sin.
Third, you must realize that Jesus Christ, God’s perfect sacrifice,
has already paid our sin debt.
Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 “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.”
John 3:16 “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.”
1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death
in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”
When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for all our sins and
bridged the gap that separated us from God. You must realize
that Jesus Christ was not a sinner and that God took all our sins
and placed them on Jesus at the cross. While Jesus was bearing
all of our sins in His own body, God punished Him in our place to
pay the sin debt that we owe. Jesus became our substitute.
Praise the Lord!
Fourth, you must receive (His gift) by faith the Lord Jesus Christ
as your personal Lord and Savior and what He did for you at
Calvary on the cross.
John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:”
Romans 6:23b “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.”
Romans 10:9-10 “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 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.”
The word “believe” means to trust—to depend on. To believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ means that you accept the following facts:
that you are a sinner; that as a sinner you owe a sin debt; that
Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed His precious blood to
pay the debt you owe; and that after three days, He arose bodily
and victoriously, conquering sin and death and hell. To believe
means going beyond mere intellectual assent. It means to place
your faith totally in Him—plus nothing and minus nothing—
forever to save you from hell, forgive you of your sins, and give
you the gift of eternal life. Most importantly, when you completely
trust Him to get you to Heaven, it will be forever settled, once and
for all.
My friend why not trust Jesus now and pray…
Dear Lord Jesus, I realize that I am a sinner and that I deserve to
pay my own sin debt. I believe You became my substitute on the
cross, paying the sin debt I owe, and that Your shed blood,
death, burial, and bodily resurrection from the grave were for me.
I do so now believe in You with all my heart and put my faith
100% totally in You alone as my Lord and Savior. I now trust in
You to forgive me of all my sins and cleanse me with Your
precious blood. Please save me from hell, and give me the
wonderful gift of eternal life. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving
me and making me Your child. Amen.
