How to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior: Everyone will have an eternal existence somewhere. This is a reality for all people. When your life ends on earth, you will either spend eternity in a place the Bible refers to as heaven, or you will spend eternity in a place the Bible refers to as hell. God’s desire is that everyone spend eternity with Him in heaven. If you desire to have assurance that you will spend eternity in heaven with God one day, we encourage you to consider what the Bible tells us we must do to be saved and go to heaven.
- Recognize you are a sinner and can’t save yourself.
– God tells us in Romans 3:23- “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. We are all sinners in need of a Savior. – God also gives us the consequences of our sin. He tells us in Romans 6:23- “For the wages of sin is death”.
- Know that God loves you and has provided a way for you to be saved and go to
heaven. – God tells us in Romans 5:8- “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. God loves you, and sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus paid for our sins when He died on the cross for us. – Only in Jesus Christ is there forgiveness, salvation, and a way to heaven. Jesus said in John 14:6- “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” Jesus said, He is the only way to the Father; who is God in heaven.
- To be saved, you must repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
