Door To Heaven
The truly good news is that this same loving and just God gives everyone on earth a second chance to escape punishment. God sent His only Son, Jesus, to earth more than 2,000 years ago. That life Jesus lived on earth—33 years—allowed Him to experience the same pain and loneliness you have felt. The ultimate purpose for Jesus’ life on earth, however, was so that He could give it upBy dying on the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the punishment necessary to pardon your sins. Even though Jesus was without sin and perfect like His Father, He became a man by living on earth.Jesus—both God and man—lived a perfect life, dying willingly on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, was raised from the dead, and now lives in heaven. An innocent man took the blame for our sinfulness. This act of God is described in John 3:16-17 like this: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."Jesus’ death on the cross erased our sins and removed the one barrier separating us from a relationship with Him. His sacrifice of life makes it possible for us to be saved from the punishment of our own sinfulness. Romans 5:8 states: "God demonstrates His own love toward us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."This is how a loving and just God dealt with the problem of our sin. He provided the one and only way to heaven, through belief and trust in God's Son, Jesus, as our Lord and Savior. In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." You must receive Him in order to live in heaven after you die. There is no exception.

What Does It Mean To Believe?
The basis of your salvation must be more than just knowledge of Jesus’ existence. True belief is about accepting Jesus as God’s Son, admitting our sins to Him, and choosing to follow Him as Lord of our lives. It is, in essence, giving Him control of our life, our plans, our will and our desires.Romans 10:9-10 states, "If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."Once you take these steps, the Spirit of God lives inside you, guiding you and leading you each day in your decisions and actions.Faith in Jesus Christ is a commitment to the One whose life becomes our life and transforms us. That is the great gift of God's grace–the Spirit of God living in us, guiding us, and making us more like Him.
How You May Receive Christ As Savior
To begin your relationship with God and to establish your place in heaven, you must begin by praying (talking to God). Below is an example of a simple prayer that will help you know what to say when you talk to God."God, I realize I need a Savior. I confess that I have sinned and I know that my sin will keep me out of heaven. I realize there is not one single thing I can do to earn my way into Your heaven. Right now I am placing all, 100 percent of my trust, in Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection from the dead as payment for my sin. I now accept you as my Lord and Savior, and I commit my life to you. Thank you for forgiving me and filling me with your Holy Spirit."
