You Can Know
There's no need to wonder if you will go to Heaven after death.
"These things have I written unto you . . . that ye may know that ye have eternal life . . . " 1 John 5:13
Can you say that you are 100 percent sure that you will go to Heaven when you die?
If not, you will find the following truths helpful in understanding this important subject. These truths are taken from the Holy Bible.
We Have All Sinned
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
The word sin means to miss the mark, or come short of perfection, by disobeying God. The Bible reminds us that one time or another we have all disobeyed God.
Sin Has a Penalty
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
A wage is a payment. The payment for your sin is death and separation from God in a place the Bible calls Hell.
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Matthew 25:46
Jesus Paid the Penalty
"But God commendeth (proved) His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
God proved His love for you by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for your sin. Jesus died in your place. His death has provided the only way to Heaven.
Believe on Jesus Today
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9
Believing on Jesus Christ as Saviour means to trust in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life (Heaven). You must have faith that He died to pay the price for your sin, rose again three days later, and that He is the only way to Heaven. You can express your belief on Jesus through prayer.
Pray Sincerely . . .
"Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and that I deserve Hell. I believe You died on the cross, paid the penalty for my sin, and rose from the dead three days later. I am placing my faith in You alone to forgive my sin and save me. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen."
It is Good to Know
The assurance that you have eternal life is based on God's unchanging Word.
The Bible provides this assurance to those who believe on Him.
"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." John 3:16
God does not lie. He has promised everlasting life to those who believe on Him as Saviour.
"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began." Titus 1:2
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:36
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
Not only does God provide the assurance of salvation (eternal life), but He also promises that He will never leave us.
Jesus Will Never Leave You
You can rest in the fact that Jesus Christ will never leave you.
". . . I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5
Once you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you cannot lose eternal life. It is forever settled and secure in the hand of God.
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." John 10:28-30

Your comments on heaven really have resonated with me. It is so sad to see our country going away from God and on to a terrible end. People need to understand that God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and that all of us have fallen short and need His mercy and grace to have eternal life with Him in heaven. Thank you for putting this information on the world wide web for all to see if they chose.
