Heaven
Is A Free Gift
"The
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
We can't earn our way to heaven and none of us really deserves to
go. It is a gift.

We
Are All Sinners
"All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
Every
person who has ever lived has missed God's standard of perfection.

He
Loves Us
"God
is love." 1 John 4:8
While
God loves us and doesn't want to punish us, we should also know
that, as a just God, He must punish sin.
"The
soul who sins shall die." Ezekiel 18:4

God
Balanced Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus
"For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
John 3:16
Jesus
is the infinite God-man, God in the flesh. He died on the cross
and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase
a place for us in heaven, which He offers as a free gift.

The
Gift Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith
Saving
faith is not merely intellectual assent. It is trusting in Jesus
Christ alone and what He has done rather than what we can do to
get us to heaven.
"What
must I do to be saved? Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." Acts 16:30b, 31
The
Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved."
You can
do that now by simply praying:
Lord
Jesus, I know I am a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But
I believe You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place
in heaven for me. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my
life, forgive my sins, and save me. I am now placing my trust
in You alone for my salvation, and I accept your free gift of
eternal life.
If
this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at the promise
of Jesus, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
he who believes in Me has eternal life." John 6:47
