Steps to heaven
Acknowledge that you have sinned
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one:" Romans 3:10
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;" Romans 3:23
Realize that there is a penalty for your sin.
"For the wages of sin is death;" Romans 6:23a
The word "death" means
separation. The death referred to
here means eternal separation from God in the lake of
fire.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death. " Revelation 21:8
Acknowledge that Christ paid the penalty of sin for you.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Acknowledge that Christ wants to give you the free gift
of eternal life in heaven.
"... but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Believe in Christ and ask Him to be your Savior.
"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 saved. For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved" Romans 10:13
As you think on these truths, will you right now ask
Christ to come into your heart and life? Then, attend a
good fundamental Bible-believing church, publicly
confess Christ as your Savior and follow him in
believer's baptism. "For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth in Him
shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:11
