How To Get To Heaven When You Die

    PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU COULD EVER DO AND IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES.

    ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

    There are some things that you should know:

    1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

    Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

    Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

    This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

    2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

    Ro 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

    Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

    Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. That’s because you must be perfect in order to get to heaven. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

    3. If you will Admit to Jesus Christ that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior, Believe in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead and Accept Him as your Lord and Savior and you will be forgiven and taken to heaven to be with Him when you die.

    Joh 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”

    Ro 10:9,10 "that 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.."

    You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus, believing in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins and placing your trust in Him. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.

    Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.

    DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR YOUR SINS?

    ARE YOU WILLING TO TURN TO JESUS CHRIST FOR SALVATION?

    4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe it with all of your heart, you could pray something like this to God from your heart:

    "Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, save me, take me to be with You when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus holy name, Amen."

    If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven.

    Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.

    I'm not going. I'm actually going to be hosting a giant party on another plane of existence after I die. I'm working on the seating chart now, and taking reservations, so please let me know who is planning to join.

    If god is perfect,he can't make a mistake. Therefore he designed me perfectly too. Therefore anything I do is part of his master plan. Everything is fore ordained. There is no free will. Which means all the innocent babies born with birth defects and people dying of random horrors are completely god's will. Which means he is a monster that not only is not worthy of worship, but is something that we must destroy. If everything flows from god, then evil also flows from god. And we must destroy evil.

    The Jews say I'll be just fine. I'm not holding out any hope that heaven exists though. I'll keep paying attention to what does.

    The Holy Trinity is a blasphemy.

    It all applies to especially the Jew. Judaism was the Schoolmaster to show us that we are sinners in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ.

    But Jesus did not fit the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament scriptures.

    So, here's what I don't get.

    God decides who is and is not a sinner, and who does and does not get to go to heaven. They're His rules. He is the sole arbiter.

    So, uh, why did Jesus have to die? I mean I get the whole doctrine of original sin etc etc we are all unclean, but why did God create a person and then condemn that person to a very painful death solely to forgive us for our sins? Couldn't He have just skipped the whole martyrdom part entirely?

    I'm a dirty atheist so I don't get to go to heaven no matter what I do. I'd be pretty bummed about that but by happy coincidence I don't believe in it anyway, so it all works out.
