Do you know for certain that you have ETERNAL LIFE and that you will go to HEAVEN when you die??? The following 5 steps will show you how YOU CAN KNOW!

Step #1 REALIZE God loves you! HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE Jesus said ... "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10b

Step #2 RECOGNIZE the problem "For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23a EVERY PERSON HAS SINNED AGAINST GOD, RESULTING IN SPIRITUAL DEATH AND SEPARATION FROM GOD. The Problem ... SIN separates you from God!

Step #3 RESPOND TO GOD'S PROVISION JESUS CHRIST is God's ONLY provision for man's SIN.  Through Him you can KNOW and EXPERIENCE God's love and plan for YOUR life! Jesus said ... "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Step #4 REPENT of your SIN "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out," Acts 3:19a REPENTANCE is not just feeling sorry for your SIN. It is turning to God, through Jesus AND turning away from your SIN. It's like making a U-turn and as you turn you MUST place your faith in Jesus "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of yourselves:  it is the GIFT of God: NOT of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 YOU MUST SURRENDER TO JESUS AS LORD "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

Step #5 NOW ... YOU MUST MAKE A CHOICE! Will YOU receive Jesus Christ as YOUR Lord and Saviour, so that you may KNOW FOR CERTAIN that you will go to Heaven when you die? WILL YOU PRAY THIS SIMPLE PRAYER? Dear Lord, I know that I have sinned and need forgiveness.  I now repent of my sins, and ask You to forgive me.  I thank You for dying on the cross for me.  I ask You to be my Saviour.  I commit my life to You, and ask You to take control.  Make me the kind of person that You want me to be.  Thank You for giving me eternal life. In Jesus Name, I pray this prayer, AMEN

IMPORTANT NOTICE Jesus said ... "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 NOTE:  Salvation is not just repeating the words of a prayer.  It is appearing before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, exchanging YOUR life, plans, dreams and control for the forgiveness of your sins and an eternal home in Heaven.  When you do this, you have the assurance that one day you will live in the place that Jesus has prepared just for YOU!
