God wants you to be 100% sure that when you die you will go to Heaven. That's why the Bible says,
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life. --1 John 5:13
What must you know from the Bible to be 100% sure?
- You are a sinner and don't deserve to go to Heaven.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. --Romans 3:23
- The only way you can pay for your sins is by spending eternity in hell.
For the wages of sin is death. --Romans 6:23a
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. --Rev. 20:14 - We can't do anything good enough on our own to merit heaven.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us. --Titus 3:5
- Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were sinners, Christ died for us. --Romans 5:8
- Jesus not only died, but also rose from the dead!
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. --1 Cor. 15:3,4
- Jesus freely offers salvation to you with no strings attached.
...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. --Romans 6:23b
- You accept the gift by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and by confessing Him with your mouth.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.Romans 10:10
- You are 100% sure simply by believing the PROMISE of God.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. --Romans 10:13
Why not be 100% sure today? Would you please just pray this small prayer from your heart?
Lord Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and that you died and rose from the dead for me. Please forgive me from my sin and take me to heaven when I die. Thank you! AMEN
