We can all sit around and dream about what the New Heaven and New Earth will be like and what we will do there, but if you don’t know Jesus as your Savior, you will never get there which would be tragic. Some people assume if they are a “good person” they will go to heaven. The problem is none of us are good enough!

God gave us an awesome gift in His son Jesus who came to earth and died for the sins of all people for all eternity, taking the blame so that we would not have to face judgement for our sins. This gift is free to us- all we have to do is accept it and then admit we are sinners that need a Savior- and that Savior is Jesus who is the ONLY way to heaven. God wants us to be in heaven with Him. He doesn’t want anyone to be left out but He won’t force us- taking this gift is our decision. Once we accept His gift of salvation, we can be assured of our place in Heaven.

Romans 10:9-13 ⁹ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹ As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” ¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

This is a simple explanation of the Salvation message from one of my favorite pastors Greg Laurie:

If you would like to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the following is a sample prayer that you might pray:

Dear God, I acknowledge to you that I am a sinner and I am sorry for my sins and the life I am living and I need your forgiveness. I believe you sent your son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins and I am now willing to turn away from my sins. I confess that Jesus is the Lord and I believe God raised Him from the dead so that I would be saved. I accept this gift and ask that You would help me to live a life that would be pleasing to You. Thank you Lord. Amen

If you have prayed this prayer and believe in God’s promise with all your heart, I will see you in heaven! I would love to know if you made this decision so please contact me through this blog.
