How does one achieve salvation, or get to heaven?

Answer 1

Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. Repent of your sins and sinful ways and ask God to live in your heart. Live your life for Him rather than for yourself. Everything you do from there on out can be a blessing. Connect with a Christian Church and surround yourself with others who love Christ. You're gonna love it!

Answer 2

There is only one way to get there. There are 6 steps.
1: hear. You have to hear the truth of the gospel.
2: Believe. You have to truly believe that Jesus is the Christ. The one true Savior and mediator w/God
3:Confess. You have to openly confess the truth of your belief.
4:Repent. You must turn away from the sin in your life
5: Be baptized. You must be baptized for remission of sins. baptism is a symbol of your death to sin and rebirth as a child of God
6: Live faithfully: You have to keep yourself true to enter Heaven at the judgement
Remeber: there is only ONE church in the Bible. The Churches of Christ. We are not a denomination, but the called out children of the one true God.
If you truly want to know the truth of salvation, I would be more than willing to help you. I am a Bible class teacher as well as my Husband.
I pray that you find the truth.

Answer 3

great question. i was thinking about this just today. I see many people are professing Lord Jesus, and that's great.

But i wonder about this a lot. You have to ask this question, "If God let me into heaven, would it still be heaven?" Mean to say, if heaven was full of mean people hating and hurting each other...would that be heaven? If God let just anybody in, would it still be heaven?

I tell you what, if a couple people i know get in heaven, i really don't think i wanna live there. Some of these folks are very religious, but they're very mean, judgmental, angry and often worse. I really wonder, would God let them in? Why would he let them in? So they can still torment me in the next life?

If you take Lord Jesus as your savior I think that's great. But are you mean? are you sadistic and enjoying causing pain to your brothers and sisters? got a violent temperament that flys off the handle and hateful at the slightest provocation?

Would it still be heaven then if God let you in? How do you figure? Should God let you in so you can continue the abusiveness in Heaven? Would it still be Heaven then?

You got Jesus, that's great. But Jesus taught love! And I wonder if the doors of heaven will open for any other reason.

Jesus also warned very sternly:

Matthew:
5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and
whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger
of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be
in danger of hell fire.

...straight out of the Holy Scripture. I've accepted Lord Jesus as my savior. But I also study what He taught. Thus...I wonder.

Just thoughts...thanx for the opportunity to pour this out...

Answer 4

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Serve the Lord with all your heart. Accept Jesus as your ONLY personal Lord and savior.

Follow the Ten Commandments that our Lord gave us.

Ten Commandments:

1. Thou shall have no other Gods
2. Thou shall not make into thee any graven image
3. Thou shall not take the name of the Lord they God in vain
4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy
5. Honor thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shall not kill
7. Thou shall not commit adultery
8. Thou shall not steel
9. Thou shall not bear false witness against they neighbor
10. Thou shall not covet

That should be enough, but never more then enough.

GOD BLESS YOU. ( SEE U IN HEAVEN :)

Answer 5

Read the Holy Bible, the answers are there.
Or simply read John 3:16.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Whosoever believeth in Him shall have everlasting life.

So Believe! Pray to God right now, accepting Him, asking Him to forgive your sins.
He will.

Answer 6

i don't think u have to believe in god or jesus but i think u have to be a good person and try to do whats right in life. i think you'll know what it is when you actually get to salvation or heaven.

Answer 7

exactly accept Jesus as your lord and Savior. believe that he died for your sins and bow down and ask his his forgiveness. most importantly you have to mean it. if you are true to yourself and you want to believe then you will be saved. although being saved isn't a definite spot in heaven, you can't go out and do sinful things then say oh I'm sorry please save me again. I was saved once at 15, I'm not the greatest person out there but I do have faith and believe that Jesus was song of god and died for my sins.

Answer 8

You have to develop a relationship with Him. You start by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior, and confessing your sins to Him and asking His forgiveness. Then you strengthen that relationship with Him by studying His Word to you and by talking to Him in prayer.

God is desperately and passionately in love with you and He is anxiously waiting for you to come to Him and let Him hold you in His arms. The Bible says that when you come to God, He rejoices over you with singing. He has lavish gifts stored away that He is anxious to lavish on you. He wants to heal you, comfort you, protect you, fight your battles for you. Come to Him.

Answer 9

If you really want to go to heaven or atleast want not to be eternally roasted in Hell--give up worshipping Christ and become a Muslim.

Answer 10

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God 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."

God Bless
