1Five Steps
To Heaven

arrow keys on your keyboard.
2Step 1
Acknowledge that you have sinned.
The Bible says in Romans 310 and 23 As it is
written, There is none righteous, no, not
one. For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God.
How many have sinned? God says, ALL HAVE
SINNED.
Do you believe you have committed any sins in
your life?
3Step 2
Realize there is a penalty for sin.
For the wages of sin is DEATH. Romans 623a
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers
(those who commit sexual sins), and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their
part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone which is the SECOND DEATH.
This also includes a second death. Revelation
218 tells us what the second death is and who
will experience it.
4The SECOND DEATH is eternal separation from God
in the lake of fire, a terrible place God calls
Hell many times in the Bible. We read the word
murderers. A person would have to murder just
one individual to be a murderer. We also read
the word liars. A person would have to tell
just one lie to be a liar. If you have told any
lies in your life, God looks upon you as a liar.
Notice that God already has said, All liars
not just some liars or most liars all liars
have their part in the lake that burns with
fire.
So far from what we have seen in Gods Word,
where would you go if you died right now?
5Romans 58 says that Christ did pay the penalty
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ DIED FOR US.
Step 3
Acknowledge that Jesus Christ paid the penalty of
sin for you.
Remember that the penalty for sin is separation
from God. Jesus experienced this for us when He
hung on the cross. God laid the sins of the
world on Jesus, and Jesus became separated from
God the Father. That is why Jesus cried out from
the cross, My God, My God, why hast Thou
forsaken Me? Of course, Jesus Christ arose from
the dead three days later.
6Eternal life is eternal union with God which
begins now and will continue in heaven the
instant we die physically. If we receive Gods
gift of eternal life, we shall go to heaven the
minute we die.
Step 4
Realize that God wants to give you the gift of
eternal life in heaven.
Romans 623b tells us the good news The gift of
God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
7God promises in Romans 10 9 and 10 That if
thou shalt confess with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine HEART that God hath
raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the HEART man believeth unto
righteousness and with the MOUTH confession is
made unto salvation.
Step 5
You must believe that Jesus is the Lord and ask
Him to save you in order to have eternal life in
heaven.
When we believe in our HEART that Christ died for
our sins and was raised from the dead, God gives
us His very own righteousness. But there is also
something we do with our MOUTH.
8Romans 1013 says For whosoever shall CALL upon
the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved.
God promises that He will save anyone from sin
and hell who calls on the Lord Jesus Christ and
asks Christ to be his Savior and to save him.
Call on the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer. Tell
Him that you are receiving Him as your personal
Savior and ask Him to save you and to give you
eternal life in heaven.
95. Believe in Christ and ask Him to save you.
Lets Review
4. God wants to give you eternal life in heaven.
3. Christ paid your penalty.
2. There is a penalty for sin.
1.You have sinned.
10To ask Jesus to save you, you can pray this
prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of
God and that you died for me. Forgive my sins.
I ask you to be my Savior from sin and to save my
soul. Give me your gift of eternal life in
heaven. Help me now to live for You. I pray in
your name. Amen.
Does this prayer express the desire of your
heart? If it does, pray the prayer right now
from your heart.
11Remember Gods Promises
He that believes on the Son has everlasting
life. John 336 For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans
1013
12Did you sincerely believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ as your personal Savior and ask Him to
forgive your sins and to save you?
If so, you are saved and on your way to heaven.
Otherwise God would be breaking His promises
which would make Him a liar and that is
impossible. (Titus 12)
Assurance
Take God at His Word. Say, God promised it. I
believe it Im saved! Do not depend on your
feelings for assurance, but rather Gods Word.
Your feelings will change from day to day, even
as the weather changes. Gods Word will never
change.
13Gods will for you now is that you grow
spiritually. (II Peter 318) Here is how you
can achieve spiritual growth
G go to a Bible believing church faithfully.
R read the Bible daily.
O obey the Lord by being baptized.
W witness for Jesus Christ regularly.
T take time to pray daily.
H honor God by tithing.
The first thing the Lord wants you to do is to
publicly confess Him before others (Matthew
1032, 33). When the invitation is given at the
end of the church service, go forward and let the
Pastor tell the congregation you have been saved
through Christ.
