How
can we know this?
Can
we get to Heaven by doing enough good to persuade God to
accept us?
The
answer is no.
We can
never live a life good enough to earn salvation. When we die,
we will enter Heaven only because of what Jesus Christ has
accomplished for us.
I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Salvation
is a gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Ephesians 2:8,9)
In His
death on the cross, Jesus actually took on Himself the penalty
of our sins. He paid our sin penalty (death!) because He loves
us and wants us to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
You
can receive Jesus Christ and be certain of your eternal
destiny. This is done by:
For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans
3:23)
For God
so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in his should not perish, but have everlasting
life. (John 3:16)
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. (Romans 10:9)
