Salvation
Realize that you are a sinner
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Let’s be honest, we’ve all done things wrong whether it was telling a “white lie” or taking a quarter from your mom’s purse as a child, the Bible says any wrong-doing is sin and all humans are sinners.
Realize that God has a payday for sin
“For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23
Because we are all sinners and God is just and holy, he cannot allow sin to enter Heaven. The payment or punishment for all sins big and little is eternal death in Hell.
Realize that Christ paid the debt for your sin
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ” Romans 5:8
God provided His love to the world even though we are not worthy of His love. He gave Himself as a supreme sacrifice.
Realize that you must ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you of your sins
“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 whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ” Romans 10:9,13
The only way to enter Heaven is through prayer, to ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you of your sins. It is not the prayer that gets you into heaven, but the belief in your heart and acknowledgement of what Christ did for you on the cross.
RECAP: So once again, just to review, to go to Heaven you must:
•Realize that you are a sinner
•Realize that the punishment is Hell
•Realize that Jesus Christ paid that for you by dying on the cross
•Realize that you need to ask Him, and Him alone to forgive you.
Sample Prayer: “Lord, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask you to save me. Come into my heart, and forgive me of my sins. I right now accept you as my personal Saviour. Thank you for saving me, Amen.”
