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.”
