How to know Heaven is your home.
If you've ever felt like something's missing in your life, or wondered what happens after death, you're asking the right questions. Today I want to share the most important message you'll ever hear.
Step 1: Recognize that we're all sinners. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." This means that none of us are perfect - we've all made mistakes, hurt others, sinned and fallen short of God's standard. We all need forgiveness for the things we've done wrong.
Step 2: Understand the consequence of sin - and God's amazing solution. Romans 6:23 tells us that "the wages of sin is death" - there's a price to pay for our sin, and it leads to separation from God forever. But here's the beautiful thing: that same verse continues with "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." God didn't leave us hopeless.
Step 3: Believe in Jesus Christ. The good news is that God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. Romans 5:8 says, "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." All you have to do is repent of your sins and believe in Him and what He did for you on the cross. Now, you might be thinking this sounds too simple - but that's the beauty of God's grace. We can't earn our way to heaven, but Jesus already paid the price.
Step 4: Confess your faith in Jesus. Romans 10:9 says 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." This means that you need to openly admit that you believe in Jesus and that He is your Lord and Savior.
If you'd like to pray with me right now, you could say something like: "God, I admit I'm a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins, which I repent of right now. I believe Jesus rose again to give me eternal life. I want to follow Him. Please forgive me and make me new."
If you've made this decision today, here's what I encourage you to do next: find a Bible-believing church, start reading God's Word daily, and tell someone about your new faith. This isn't the end, it's just the beginning of discovering peace, purpose, and the assurance that you'll spend eternity with God.
