What do you feel is the best way to reach Heaven ?
1. Keeping the 10 Commandments:
The 10 commandments are God’s absolute rules for living . NO man has ever perfectly kept all of Gods Laws ~ Except for God’s Son -Jesus. A person will never reach Heaven through his or her own efforts .
The Bible says:
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in HIS { God } sight : For by the law is the knowledge of sin ” Romans 3:20
2. Gifts of Charity:
3. Doing ones Best :
4. leading a good life :
2, 3 or 4~ Gifts to charity , doing one’s best, and leading a good life are commendable acts , BUT according to the Bible, They will not Save anyone .
The Bible says :
“Not by works of Righteousness which we have done, BUT according to HIS Mercy He saved us ” Titus 3:5
5. Good works :
6. Trying to obey the golden rule:
7. Tithing or giving to the Church:
5, 6, or 7 Neither Good works , trying to obey the Golden rule or giving to the church will get you into Heaven .
The Bible says :
For by Grace ye are saved through Faith and that not of your yourself s: It is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:8-9
8. Church membership :
9.Regular Church attendance:
10. Prayers
11. Fasting :
8, 9, 10,11~ Church membership , regular church attendance , prayers and fasting are good in themselfs BUT they can NEVER justify sinners before a Holy God .
The Bible Says :
We are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags” Isaiah 64 :6
12.Baptism:
13. Holy Communion:
12 or 13 Without Trusting Jesus Christ, Baptism & communion cannot help . The Bible Shows clearly that these are of Spiritual value ONLY when one believes in Jesus Christ.
The Bible Says Please read :
Acts 8:12 and 1 Corinthians 11:2 , 23-24
14.Born of Christian parents :
Children born into Christian homes need to be saved Just like everyone else
The Bible says :
As many as received HIM { Christ}, To them gave he power to become the sons of God ,Even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, Not of blood , Nor of the will of the flesh, Nor the will of man BUT of GOD John 1:12-13
Dawns Side note :
all who welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives are Reborn spiritually , Receiving New life from God .Through Faith in Christ, This new birth changes us from the inside out ~ rearranging our attitudes,desires, motives . Being born makes you physically alive and places you in your parents family .
Being reborn makes you spiritually alive and puts you in Gods family. This Fresh start in life is available to ALL who believe in Christ.
15.Confirmation
16. Penances
17. Extreme Unction ( Anointing )
Neither Confirmation , penances or extreme Unction ( anointing ) are the basis for going to Heaven . God has Provided ONLY one way of Salvation .
So what is Gods only way of Salvation ?
The Bible gives a definite answer . The ONE and ONLY means of spending Eternity with God in heaven is Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Alone.
Because we can not save ourselves by good works, good Character, Personal effort or merit of any kind, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die as a substitute for all sinners like you and me .
When the Lord Jesus Died on the cross and Rose again on the third day, HE finished the work necessary for Salvation .
Now all God requires of YOU is to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior:
The Bible says :
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt Be saved ” Act 16:31
SO when you trust in Jesus you are saved and are destined to spend Eternity in Heaven.
Jesus Said : “He that’s hearth my word,and believe on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation ; But is passed from death unto Life John 5:24
Will YOU accept God’s Way of Salvation ?
The choice is yours . You may continue to trust in those things listed 1-17 above IF so you will go to the grave without Christ and wake up facing God’s Eternal Punishment OR you can believe in Jesus Christ and be saved .
Choose Christ Today !!
You can do it right now Just Pray to God from your Heart something like this :
Dear God , I admit that I am a sinner and cannot go to Heaven based on my own works . Thank you for sending Jesus to pay the punishment for my sins by dying on the Cross then raising Him to life again. I turn now from my sins and receive Christ as my Lord and Savior .
Amen .
Yes it is that simple .. Praise God !!
We will never be perfect ( Only Jesus is perfect ) and once we get saved we still will sin in our earthly life Just ask God to forgive you and tell Him you are sorry ( Yes this may very well be a daily thing ) .
He will forgive you and forget your sins as far as the East is from the West Psalm 103: 12 .
(East & West can never meet , This is a symbolic portrait of Gods Forgiveness ~When He forgives our sin He separates it from us and Does NOT remember it. For God forgives and forgets . He has wiped our record Clean. If we are to follow God we must model His forgiveness . When we forgive another we must also forget the sin , otherwise we have not truly forgiven
Christians Are NOT perfect Just forgiven
