We are all sinners and as a sinner there is NO any way to go to heaven. Prayers, fasting’s, donations, good works or visiting the holy places will not take us to heaven. There are NO any religions in this planet which one will take us to heaven. God gave us Ten Commandments and we broke that commandment which means we deserved to go to hell because we have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3;23).
But God loved us so much (Not for our good works or good deeds) that He gave us His one and only Son, that whoever believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3;16) That Son is our Saviour Jesus Christ who came this earth not to condemn the earth but to save the world. So those who believes in Him will be saved but those who don't believe in Him will be condemned. This love has come from God through His grace NOT for our good works.(Titus 3;5).
Law, religion or men made rules will NOT take us to heaven. Dead men will NOT take us to heaven. Dead men's phylosophy or own made rules and regulation won't take us to heaven. What ever religion we may follow. Rules and regulations are not the way of salvation. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must save (Acts 4:12). Religion gives us complicated rules which can put us in bondage but FAITH in Christ sets us free from that bondage like law, the power of sin and death.
No one can go to heaven with out Jesus Christ. If we claim Him as a prophet then we are in serious trouble too. No one carried our sin and paid the penalty in our place. Only Jesus Christ who took our sin and paid the penalty in the cross. He paid that punishment in the cross in our place.He died in the cross but on the third day He rose from dead and freed us from the prison of Satan. Please do not try to knock the back door because you have to come through the main door and that main door is Jesus Christ. Do not leave it for tomorrow. It may be too late. The door for repentance can be shut and you will live in everlasting regret and suffer punishment. Jesus said "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:16).
On other words you can say, "If I do not accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour and do not confess my sin to Him and do not repent for my sin and do not follow Him in my every day life then what will be happen to me? My friend please listen carefully the Bible says, "You will be perish" (Means you will go to hell). Because no one, not even any prophets paid the penalty for your sin. Only Jesus Christ shed His Blood in the the mountain of the Calvery (Which is historically truth), on the third day He rose from dead and freed us from the bondage of Satan."
Now you may say "What must we do to be saved?" Other way you may asked yourself what is the procedure to go to heaven? What shall I do? The answer is very simple, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-your family will be saved." (Acts 16;31-32). It is clear evidence that you can not save yourself through your good works. We all need Jesus to go to heaven. Because only He paid our punishment in the cross what we deserved for. No one paid the penalty in our place. There are no any prophet in this earth who claimed himself that he paid the price in our place. Only Jesus paid it. Those who refused Him as a Saviour and died, all of them will go to hell.Because anyone who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he had not believed the testimony God has given about His Son. And this is the testimony; God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5;10-12). Because they refused Jesus as a Son of God and didn't accept Him as their Saviour. Therefore if some one die with out Saviour Lord Jesus Christ the Bible says, "Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believe in the name of God's one and only Son." (John 3:18). Can you imagine! "How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified Him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?" (Hebrews 10;29). It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Bible says, " When you (we) were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having cancelled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us: He took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." (Colossians 2; 13-15).
Beloved reader, do you know anything about this? Have you taken your place as a guilty sinner before God, and trusted in Christ for pardon? If so then please don't forget as apostle Paul reminds us, "I tell you, now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation." (2 Corinthians 6:2).
If you are ready then just pray this simple prayer, " Lord Jesus, I come before You just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your Name I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever. I invite You into my life, Lord Jesus, I accept You as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body soul and spirit. Come Lord Jesus , cover me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I love You Lord Jesus, I praise You Jesus, I thank You Jesus I shall follow You every day of my life in Your most Holy Name I pray. Amen.
If you have confessed your sin to Jesus and believed that your sin is forgiven, you are new, you have died to the old, you have new life, eternal life now. You are risen with Christ. Now you are child of God and God is your Father. You are His and He is yours.
