It's simple. All you have to do is accept the Lord into your heart. Ask Him to absolve you of your sins, live your life through Him. Good deeds will not get you a quick trip to heaven, Christ will.
He died on the cross for us.

Our situation will become more like heaven the more we are God conscious.
Some believe there are heavenly realms even in this temporal ephemeral existence.
However, what about the possibility of a truly eternal heaven? That would have to be God's eternal abode. To get there we would have to be really right with God. The best hope would be in becoming a lover of God.

There is always hope to get into Heaven. You just need to love God and follow his Ten Commandments the best that you can. When you do something wrong, just tell him that you are sorry and will try harder to not do it again. Jesus loves all of us and want all of us to make it to Heaven.

Basically you should understand and believe these things:
1. Heaven is a free gift-it cannot be earned or deserved.
2. Man is a sinner and cannot save himself.
3. God is merciful and doesn't want to punish us, but He is just so He must punish sin.
4. Jesus Christ was God and Man. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the grave to purchase a place for us in Heaven.
5. Faith in Jesus Christ is the way to Heaven. This means trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. Rest on Christ alone and what He has done, not what you can do.
So transfer your trust to Christ, accept Him as your Savior, receive Him as Lord, and repent. If you pray these things to Him you will be saved! :-)
Romans 10:10,13 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
John 6:47 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life.
Hebrews 12:22 You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven.

There's always hope. The only thing you have to do is accept Jesus into your heart. See, every heart is a closed door. You have to repent and feel truly sorry for your sins. Then that door will open and Jesus will come in if you let him. When he enters, you're saved and you will go to Heaven. I hope I see you there.
Have a blessed day!

Yes there is hope. Once you pray and make Jesus Christ Lord and Savior of your life and grow in your relationship with Him, they you will go to heaven when you die. Eternal life is a free gift given to us by God through Jesus Christ His Son. You don't have to work your way or earn your way to heaven. God bless you!!

The below site will step you through getting eternal life, and it's fun too. Christians do not go to Heaven, that is a Greek mythology teaching and not from early Christianity.

Just be the best person you can be, don't worry about making mistakes. God will accept you and love you anyway. And God doesn't require a certain number of good deeds to get into heaven. Just be yourself and you will end up in the right place.

Yes, there is hope...try going to church, see if you like it...if you feel that you want a relationship with God, ask Him to come into your life and make a commitment that you will follow in his footsteps for the rest of your life. God sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us to go to heaven, and spend eternity with Him. All you have to do, is follow in God's footsteps and have faith in Him.
