THE FIVE STEPS TO HEAVEN
Step 1 is to acknowledge
that you have sinned.
Romans 3:10 says,
"As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one:"
Romans 3:23 says, "For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Step 2 is to realize that
there is a penalty for your sin.
Romans 6:23a says,
"For the wages of sin [is] death;"
The word "death" means separation. The death referred to here
means eternal seperation from God in the lake of fire as stated in
Revelation 21:8.
Revelation 21:8 says, "But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death."
Step 3 is to acknowledge
that Christ paid the penalty of sin for you.
Romans 5:8 says,
"But God commendeth his love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Step 4 is to acknowledge
that Christ wants to give you the free gift of eternal life.
Romans 6:23b says,
"…but the gift of God [is] eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Step 5 is that you must
believe in Christ and ask Him to be your Savior.
Romans 10:9, 10 says,
"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."
Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Dear Friend,
As you think on these truths, will you right now ask Christ to
come into your heart and life? Then, attend a good fundamental,
Bible-believing church, publicly confess Christ as your Savior,
and follow Him in Believer´s Baptism. For the Bible says in Romans
10:11, "Whosoever believeth in Him
shall not be ashamed."
