Do You Know the Way to Heaven?
The Bible, God’s Word, shows the way to Heaven; it reveals
the things you must know and believe in order to go to Heaven:
* God Loves You.
John 3:16 says, “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.”
* We are all sinners.
Romans 3:9 says, “…we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they
are all under sin.”
Romans 3:10 says, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.”
Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
* What is sin? I John 3:4 “whosoever commiteth sin transgresseth [is violating]
also the law: for sin is the transgression [violation] of the law.”
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth: (verse 5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to
them, nor serve them…
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work…
5. Honour thy father and thy mother…
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet {desire that which is unlawful to obtain or possess;
desire what belongs to another}…
James 2:10 says, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in
one point, he is guilty of all.”
* The penalty for sin is death and Hell.
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death…”
Revelation 21:8 says, “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.”
* Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins.
Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth [showed] His love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ [God manifest in the flesh] died for us.”
Romans 6:23b says, “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord.”
* Jesus Christ was raised bodily from the dead.
John 20:27-28 gives the words of the resurrected Christ to doubting Thomas:
“Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and
reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”
Hebrews 7:25 says, “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them.’
* In order to be saved (delivered or set free from sin), you must REPENT
of your sins and BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ. REPENTANCE is that voluntary
change in the mind of the sinner in which he turns from sin. BELIEF, that
is, faith in Christ, is that voluntary change in the mind of the sinner in
which he turns to Christ and trusts him as Lord and Saviour.
Luke 13:3 says, “…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Acts 3:19 says, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out…”
Romans 10:9, 10 say, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raise Him form the dead, thou
shalt be saved, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness…”
Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved.”
If you believe these truths from the Bible, and if you want to be saved (delivered
or set free from sin), call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and ask Him to save
you.
* If you have called upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save you and opened
your heart to receive Him, He has promised to come in.
John 1:12 says, “But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”
Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him and
he with me.”
