In Your Opinion......
In your personal opinion,
What do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven?
Consider how the bible answers this question...
It is a matter of Faith!
F is for Forgiveness
 |
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's
forgiveness.
|
"In Him [meaning Jesus] we have
redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of our sins."
(Ephesians 1:7)
|
|
A is for Available
|
Forgiveness is available.
|
It is available for all!
|
"For God so loved the world that
He gave His One and Only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal
life."
(John 3:16)
|
It is not automatic.
|
"Not everyone who says to me
'Lord! Lord!'
will enter the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew 7:21)
|
| | | |
I is for Impossible
|
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven...
|
Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His
judgment is against sin!
|
"For judgment is without
mercy."
(James 2:13)
|
Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner!
|
"For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God."
(Romans 3:23)
|
| | | |
But... how can a sinful person enter heaven when God allows no
sin in heaven?
T is for Turn
|
Turn means repent...
|
Turn from something: sin and self!
|
"But unless you repent, you will
all perish."
(Luke 13:30)
|
Turn to Someone: Trust Christ Only!
|
"If you confess with your mouth,
'Jesus is Lord,'
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved."
(Romans 10:9)
|
| | | |
H is for Heaven
|
Heaven is eternal life!
|
Here:
|
"I have come that they may have
life and have it more abundantly."
(John 10:10)
|
Hereafter:
|
"If I go and prepare a place for
you,
I will come again and receive you to Myself,
so that where I am there you may be also."
(John 14:3)
|

How???
Understanding what has been shared...
Would you like to receive this forgiveness
by trusting in Christ as your personal Savior and Lord?
If your answer is yes, pray this prayer:
Dear Jesus,
I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and arose from the grave.
I now ask You to forgive me of my sins and to save my soul.
Amen!
If you prayed this prayer, please call me at (864) 862-5138,

Thanks and God Bless,
