Are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.” His plan is simple! You can be saved today.

First, my frind, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). But God loves you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. "He hath made Him [Jesus] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “Without shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22).“ God gave his son for you. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. In Acts 16:30-31, the Bible says, “What must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

You must believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36). His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Saviour. You must confess with your mouth and call upon Jesus to save you. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be sa6 ved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).

All that is left is for you to pray: Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Saviour. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.

“Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God‟s plan. Believe on Jesus and receive Him as Saviour today.

Where will you spend eternity?
