(Rom. 6:8); has ...an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven... (1 Pet. 1:4); is ...shielded by God's power... (1 Pet. 1:5); is ...kept by Jesus Christ... (Jude 1:1); was ...bought at a price... (1 Cor. 6:20);...is a new creation; the old has gone... (2 Cor. 5:17); ...overcomes the world...

(John 10:5); and ...will never turn away... (Jer. 32:40). ________________ Will you go to heaven? This question is too important to get wrong. Therefore, don't go by opinion or feelings to find the answer. Go by what God has told us in His Word. The Bible states, "...it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27) How will you do on judgment day? Have you obeyed God's commands? Read on to find out. Have you ever lied? "...all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."(Revelations 21:8) Ever looked with lust? "...whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) Ever taken God's name in vain? "...the Lord will not hold him guitless who takes His name in vain." (Ex. 20:7) Ever stolen anything? (Ex. 20:15) Ever gotten drunk? (Eph. 5:18, 1 Tim. 3:3) Ever consulted a medium or person who claims to talk to the dead? (Lev. 19:31) Ever dishonored your father or mother? (Exodus 20:12) Ever sought after revenge? (Rom. 12:19) Always loved your neighbor as yourself? (Lev. 19:18) Always loved God with all your heart, soul and strength? (Deut. 6:5) "...there is none who seeks after God." (Rom. 3:11) It only takes one sin..."For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10) God's standard is high. Jesus commanded, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your father in Heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48) Based on what God has told us, do you think you'll be innocent or guilty on judgment day? Will you go to Heaven or Hell? God is good (Mark 10:18)and He is also just (2 Thes. 1:6). Therefore, "...he does not leave the guilty unpunished..." (Num. 14:18) There are many who make the mistake of thinking that they will get into Heaven because of good deeds they have done, but the Bible warns that "...all our righteous acts are like filthy rags..." (Is. 64:6) Good deeds don't erase bad ones. The sad truth is that we have nothing to offer God. "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight..." (Rom. 3:20) WE HAVE ONLY ONE HOPE... Although we deserve to "...be punished with everlasting destruction..." (2 Thes. 1:9), God made a way that we could be forgiven. "...God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." (John 3:16) He sent Jesus to take our punishment upon the cross (Is. 53:5-6; 1 Peter 2:24). The good news is "...that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again according to the Scriptures," (1 Cor. 15:3-4) What must you do to be saved? If you want to be freed from sin and eternal Hell, then you must have "...repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts 20:21) Repentance is a "change of mind." It's turning away from your sinful ways. Turn away from lying, lusting, blaspheming, coveting, stealing, fornicating and/or any other sin(s). Then, trust in Jesus Christ to save you (John 14:1). Trust in Christ more than you would in a parachute if you were to jump from a plane that was flying at 20,000 feet. You would be counting on that parachute alone to save you. It would be your only hope. Do the same and more with Jesus; trust in Him alone for the forgiveness of your sins. Attending church, being water baptized and doing good deeds are all good things and we should do them; but they cannot save you. God's Word say it's "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Christ Jesus our Savior," (Titus 3:5-6). Eternal life is a free gift of God (Rom. 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). If you truly do repent and trust in the Lord, God will save you and He will transform you. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Cor. 5:17) After you get right with God, read the Bible daily (1 Peter 2:2) and obey it, see 1 John 5:3.
