R U saved? If U die 2day will U go 2 Heaven?
How
to get to
Heaven?
* You cannot ever be good enough to get
into Heaven, BUT, No
matter what you have done you can be forgiven, and go to Heaven.
* God loves you. He gave His son, Jesus,
to pay the penalty
for the laws that you broke.
* If you believe that Jesus died in your
place, to stand in
for punishment meant for you, then you will go to Heaven.
* Turn away from the wrong in your life
and live your life
for Jesus.
* Find a Bible believing church and be
baptized.
There
you have it. Do these things and you will go to Heaven.
Going there is that easy.
Now for the details.
First,
there are just
a couple things to learn, so you can be certain you are going to
Heaven.
There is only one way to get there, it's not about how good you are,
it's not
about being religious, it is about a relationship with a man named
Jesus.
You're
not good enough
Heaven
belongs to God. To go there you must be allowed in by
Him and his son Jesus. God has given us rules to live by.
We've all broken these
rules. For example, you've probably lied, stolen or hated somebody.
These are
examples of only three rules
and most of us have broken more than that. If we break our government's
laws
there is always a penalty, the same is true with God's rules. The
difference is
when we break God's rules, eternal Hell waits for us, unless our
penalty is
paid. When we break man's law, we've committed a
crime and we are
criminals. When we break God's
law we've committed a sin and we are sinners.
The penalty for sin is
death. God's word, which is the Bible, says this, "Everyone has sinned
and
fallen short of God's glorious standard, and all need to be made right
with God
by his grace, which is a free gift. They need to be made free from sin
through
Jesus Christ. God sent him to die in our place to take away our sins.”

Just
believe and be
forgiven
Watch this short video to understand more about your God.
He loves you so much more than you know.
The
penalty you owe
for breaking God's law
has already been paid. You broke the law
and somebody took care of the penalties
and fines. You didn't deserve it; He did it because He loves you. God
sent his
Son, Jesus, who paid the death penalty for you and I. The Bible says it
like
this, "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and
only Son
so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.
God did
not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save
the
world through him. People who believe in God's Son are not judged
guilty...."2*
and "God makes people right with himself through their faith in Jesus
Christ. This is true for all who believe in Christ, because all people
are the
same..."3*
Turn
your life
around
Now
you know that you just escaped the death penalty. If it
is truly real to you, you will naturally show it by turning away from
the life
you are now living. It's what's we call "repent". Repent just
means to
have regret about the way you've been living, having a change of mind,
and changing the way you live. It's a change of mind and
heart. Maybe at
one time you fell in love with a person, job or a pet. Do you remember
how you
would do anything for what you loved? Repenting is the same way,
believing
Jesus died for you should make you want to do anything for Him. I mean
He gave
His life you, has anyone ever loved you that much? How is it possible
not to
change everything about your life for He who died so you could live?
"This
is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave his life for us."5*
What
does that term mean "be baptized"?
Baptize is from a Greek word that means "be immersed in water". In
other words you get dunked in water. You might be asking why. A man who
was a
very close friend of Jesus explained baptism this way... "not the
removal
of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.
It saves
you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and
is at
God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to
him.” 6* I guess the most important and least complicated
thing I can say
about being baptized is this, Jesus did it and God's word says do it,
so do it.
An eyewitness, of many things that Jesus said and did, wrote "Repent
and
be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of
your sins." 7*
Talking to God
God knows every thought that you have, before you do. He knows you so
well that
He has taken time to count even the hairs on your head. I know, this
seems like
a scary thing, but actually this is a very good thing. As you are
learning to
believe God and as you are turning your life around He already knows
what you
are doing. He wants you to ask for help. Just think or speak things
like
"God please help me", "God please forgive me", "God I
feel so weak, please help me". He hears you and He will forgive you and
help you. He will forgive you and help you as long as it takes for you
to get
it right; He's very patient and understanding. Speak to him about
everything
and believe that He answers you. You will see that He's there with you,
answering your prayers and helping you. You'll be thankful for His
help, so be
polite and say "thank you" often. We call this praying and it's as
easy as thinking and believing.
Be
with others who
follow Jesus
It
will be extremely important for you to be around people
who believe in Jesus and who live their lives for Him. There's an old
saying
that says "Tell me about your friends and I will tell you about
yourself." Another wise person said "Bad company corrupts good
morals." Leave the old friends behind. Even leave
your family
behind if they will pull you back down. Give yourself a
chance to become
a new person. Find a
Bible believing church full of loving people who
will teach you the
ways of Jesus.
(We
pray that the Lord our God will bless you with wisdom,
knowledge and understanding of his truths. May the Lord God make real
Himself
to you.
