I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. . . .  John 10:9
Faith

Faith


The Bible speaks clearly when it answers the most important question in life, “How can I know for certain that I will go to heaven when I die?”

F is for FORGIVENESS.
The Bible says we cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.
The Bible says “In him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.” –Ephesians 1:7a

A is for AVAILABLE.
Forgiveness is available. It is --
AVAILABLE FOR ALL
Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” –John 3:16
BUT, IT’S NOT AUTOMATIC
Jesus said “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven” –Matthew 7:21

I is for IMPOSSIBLE
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
There are two reasons why God cannot allow sin into heaven.
1) because of who God is, and 2) because of who we are.
The Bible says

God is LOVE -John 3:16
God is also JUST
The Bible says “For judgment is without mercy” -James 2:13a
Judgment on what? Judgment on our sin.
People are SINFUL
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” –Romans 3:23

T is for TURN
In the Bible, Turn means repent.
We must TURN from something, sin and self.
Jesus said “But unless you repent you will all likewise perish” - Luke 13:3b
We then TURN to someone and that someone is Jesus, the savior;
We can
trust Christ only.
(The Bible tells us 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” –I Corinthians 15-3b-4
The Bible also says…
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” -Romans 10:9

H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life.
You can have heaven HERE now.
Jesus said “ I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” -John 10:10
Heaven is also HEREAFTER.
Jesus promised “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself: that where I am, there you may be also” - John 14:3

HOW?
     We must place our FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you haven’t done so already, you can pray now…

     “God, thank You for loving me. I confess that I have sinned against You. I believe that Your Son Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sins, and that You raised Jesus from the dead. I now put my faith in Jesus. Forgive me and save me from my sins. I confess that Jesus is Lord. Thank You for Your gift of eternal life. I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
