The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven.
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
Good works cannot save you.
God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:
Admit you are a sinner.
For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. (Romans 3:23)
When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12)
If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.(1 John 1:10)
Be willing to turn from sin (repent)
Jesus said: "No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will also perish." (Luke 13:5)
God overlooked people's former ignorance about these things, but now he commands everyone everywhere to turn away from idols and turn to him. (Acts 17:30)
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
(Romans 5:8)
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior.
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Romans 10:10)
For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."(Romans 10:13)
What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12)
What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:
Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.
Work hard so God can approve you. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalms 119:105)
Talk to God in prayer every day.
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Matthew 21:22)
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. (Philippians 4:6)
Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near. (Hebrews 10:25)
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Tell others about Christ.
And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.
(Mark 16:15)
For preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn't do it!(1 Corinthians 9:16)
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--Jews first and also Gentiles. (Romans 1:16)
