THE GATEWAY TO HEAVEN

Understand the requirements for Eternal Life are not based on what you can do (your goodness, giving, good heart, hospitality, knowledge, and spirituality, etc.) but on what Jesus Christ has done.

• It’s our prayer that the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart and reveals our savior Jesus to you, and hope that you understand what God has done to remedy our lost and sinful condition. We pray and hope you accept the free gift of salvation, to turn from sins to God, and worship Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of God. 

According to Jesus, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless is born again (John 3:3). The Bible was written, "so that you may know that you have eternal life”(1 John 5:13).  According to the Word, 

we have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.

TO BE BORN AGAIN AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN YOU MUST UNDERSTAND:

God is holy. God is absolutely and perfectly holy (Isaiah 6:3), therefore He cannot commit or approve of evil (James 1:13). God requires holiness of us as well. First Peter 1:16 says, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

1. WE ARE ALL SINNERS 

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"   (Romans 3:23).

"The Bible says, there is none righteous, no, no one is perfect” before a Holy God.  As it is written, we have all broken his laws therefore in need of mercy and forgiveness from God (Titus 3:5-7). Because of our sin, we deserve eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46).

2. WE MUST REPENT 

JESUS said, "Repent and believe the good news" (Mark 1:15). All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name" (Acts 10:43). We're utterly incapable of understanding, loving, or pleasing God on our own. (Romans 3:10-12).

God took on flesh and became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1,14). Jesus lived a perfectly righteous and sinless life (John 8:46; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus then died on the cross in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve (Romans 5:8). Then Jesus rose from the dead to prove His victory over sin, death, and hell (Colossians 2:15; 1 Corinthians chapter 15). 

3. WE MUST BELIEVE AND RECEIVE HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR IN YOUR LIFE.

Because of all of this, we can have our sins forgiven and be promised eternal life in heaven if we will just place our faith in Jesus Christ. All we have to do is believe that He died in our place and rose from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). Receive him to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12).

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). Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. (1 JOHN 5:1) If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and them in God. (1 John 4:15). 

Prayer of Salvation
If you agree with everything you have read, don't wait a moment longer to start your new life in Jesus Christ. Simply Pray: 

"Father, I know that I am a sinner, I have broken your laws and now I understand my sins have separated me from you, I deserve the consequences of my sin, I am truly sorry,

And now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me.

I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior.

Jesus, I invite you to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign over me from this day forward. Thank you, Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"

In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen." 

ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THOSE WHO, REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND RECEIVE HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR ARE BORN AGAIN.
