Are You Going To Heaven?

Do you believe in Heaven? Do you know if you are going there when you die?


We have all messed up in life, we have lied, cheated, stolen, lusted, haven’t forgiven someone, been prideful, gotten angry, broken rules ,etc…   the things we’ve done deserve punishment from god. We are guilty and he says the only way to pay for this wrongdoing is for someone to die. Well that’s where his son jesus comes in. he died on a roman cross-the worst kind of death to die (slow and painful). He died for you and me so we wouldn’t have to and so we could go to heaven and not hell. Hell is full of pain and torment and was created only for the devil and the angels that deserted god. But people chose to not believe in god ,so god sent them to hell. Only those who asked jesus into their hearts and lived a godly life went to heaven. So you like everyone else in the world have a choice. Choose life or choose death. Its up to you. It may be the most important choice you ever make.


Message version  John3:16
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.” – The Bible



Do you feel an emptiness inside of you? We all have it and try to fill it with making money, alcohol and drugs, education, sex and love from others, or philosophy or different religions. None of these will bring you lasting satisfaction. Nothing this world has to offer will satisfy you. Only God can satisfy this emptiness. The answer is Jesus. Ask Him into your heart and he will save you and give you hope.


Jesus came and was born of a virgin Mary 2000 years ago, Jesus preached, teached, healed and delivered people while on earth. He then was crucified on a roman cross and died for all of our sins. He then was buried and lay there for 3 days. After 3 days he rose from the grave and appeared to many people before he ascended up to heaven to be with his father God. Jesus is unique because he rose from the dead. No other religions leader has ever rose from the dead except Jesus. He rose that we may have life eternal with him. 
Jesus is the only way to the Father God. There is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood, which Jesus did for us. He was the once and for all sacrifice for our sins. God is holy and no one can approach him without Jesus. Jesus is the bridge between God and man.



Pray this prayer: Dear God, I am sorry for my sins and I want you to forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my heart.  From now on I am going to get serious with Jesus and make him Lord of my life. Jesus help me do this. Amen.



Steps to take after today:
1.Find a church and get together with spirit filled people that believe in Jesus and ask them to baptize you in water.
2. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit.
3. Pray-talk to God daily and sing songs to Him.
4. Daily read the Bible. Start with the book named John. Obey what you read.
5. Tell others about Jesus and what you have learned.



And remember this:  Jesus Loves You.
