How can I get to Heaven

Maybe you've asked yourself this question before but you were unsure of the answer. Maybe it's kept you up at night.  Maybe the prospect of death brings absolute terror to your heart.  

If you were to die today, are you sure that you would get to heaven? The Bible tells us that you CAN be sure...but that there is only one way (1 Jn. 5:13; Jn. 14:6). This message is the greatest news that you will ever hear! It is the story of God's great love for you!


  • You willingly choose to sin each day. Here are a few examples of sin: a lie, an evil thought, getting impatient with your children, yelling at a ballgame. There is no question about it...everyone is a sinner (Rom. 3:10, 23).

  • God is a righteous God who must punish sin in order to exercise His justice (Ex. 34:7). This is bad news for us. Even if we sin only a couple of times a day (which is nearly impossible when you consider the fact that you can sin several times in your thoughts in only a few seconds), we will die with thousands upon thousands of sins that we have committed against this God.

  • Yet most people think that they can earn their way into heaven by being a good person. Scripture makes it clear that you cannot earn your own salvation (Rom. 3:20, 28; Gal. 2:16, 21; Tit. 3:5).

  • The result of our sin is physical death (Rom. 6:23), but also spiritual death in a place of torment called hell (Rev. 21:8). Because of our sin, we deserve to spend eternity paying for our sins in hell.

  • God is love and He loves you with an everlasting, unconditional love (1 Jn. 4:8). He doesn't want to punish you for your sins. The only way for God to solve the dilemma was to pay for your sins Himself.

  • He loved you so much that He gave up His life for you (Jn. 3:16). Jesus' death is enough payment for you to get into heaven.

  • The only way you can be saved is by placing your faith in the completed work Jesus Christ on the cross and by asking Him to save you from the penalty of your sins (Rom. 10:9-10, 13). If you place your faith in Christ, God promises that you will have everlasting life.
