Christ life in exchange for mine. His death is my atonement. confessing my need for a savior and understanding i can never be good enough to recieve salvation on my own, but that Christ's death and resurrection is for me and my need to be saved. no works could ever obtain salvation. not about what i can do, all about what Christ did for me.

salvation is a state of mind where there will be no desire other words it means having no desire and accepting things the way it is salvation this is acheived by constantly working towards it
hindus do it in phased manner and they have meticuliously considered the format first prayer second step is food habbit third is clothing reading habbits learning to live alone and then thought process they have divided life into 5 sectors child hood student life married life service zone solitude it is called as balya
yavvana gruhasta vanaprasta and sanyasa. vanaprasta is a phase of life where it is dedicated for social service sanyasa means leaving every thing during gruhasta ashrama it is family time so person life cycle is complete he or she would have had complete expreience in life and would leave every thing by virtue and not out of compulsion
salvation is not some thing away from u it is a state of mind what u can acheive by living deciplined way

Admitting that we've sinned and cannot make our own way to God except through Jesus Christ. Truly repenting of our sins and turning to follow Jesus in everything we do in our life. It's hard but when we genuinely want change it'll come when we are with and mentored by other mature Christians and read and listen to the Word of God on a regular basis. It may take a lifetime but it's truly worth living for Christ.

The only way to heaven is life for the dead. We are all born spiritually dead. Jesus came to bring life. "I am the way the truth and the life". "Whoever has me has life". "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life". Sin is what causes death. Jesus dealt with the sin issue 2000 years ago so that whoever placed their faith in Him can recieve life. The only way for people to recieve salvation and get into heaven is to place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation and life.

JOHN 6 : 44 , WHEN I WAS SAVED , I WAS DRAWN AND CONVICTED OF MY SIN BY GODS SPIRIT , HE LET ME KNOW I WAS GUILTY IN HIS SIGHT !!
I WAS CRYING SO MUCH THE TOP FRONT OF MY SHIRT WAS WET WITH TEARS ,
THE CHURCH I WAS SAVED AT PREACHES HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE , AND TO BE HONEST IAM GLAD ,
ITS HARD TO SUGAR COAT SIN AND DEATH AND HELL ,
TO MANY PEOPLE WANT THIER EARS TICKLED , AND ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS ASK JESUS INTO THIER HEART , YA RIGHT , WHEN GOD GOT A HOLD OF ME THAT DAY I WAS TREMBLING LIKE A LEAF , BEING BORN AGAIN IS AN EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER FORGET ,
BTW , I DID NOT JUST REPEAT SOME SCRIPTURE AND AGREE WITH SOMEONE , AND THEN HAVE THEM TELL ME IAM SAVED , AFTER GOD SAVED ME I TOLD THE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH WHAT HAPPENED , NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND , AND MY SALVATION IS BASED 100 % ON JESUS CHRIST , SON OF THE LIVING GOD , NOT OF ANY MY SO CALLED GOOD WORKS , AND AFTER HE SAVED ME HE TOOK ALL THAT GUILT AWAY AND GAVE ME A PEACE WHICH I STILL HAVE TO THIS DAY AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE , I KNOW WHERE IAM HEADED DESPITE MY SELF , THANK YOU FATHER IN JESUS NAME , AMEN

I think as long as you have a realtionship with God, live by the word, and at witness his word to all around you then your good to go. Now as simple as that may sound its really not. I just encourage anyone who read this to not get stuck on religion. Religion was organizations set by men just have a relationship with him personaly thats what Jesus died for so take advantage of it.

Prayers asking for forgiveness on a regular basis and trying to follow what God has layed out for us. Believing in your heart. And at least try to do one nice thing for someone in your life, even if it does not work out the way that you planned you will have tried

God chose only 144,000 (small flock) to go to heaven (they will be kings and priests,co-rulers of Christ in his Kingdom).
There is another group (a great crowd which no one was able to number) who will live on earth.
Id rather be on earth because here I can eat and enjoy life freely in peace....in heaven you dont eat since its a place for spirits only

It's entirely up to God, remember what the Bible does say...in the judgment ALL knees will bend before Him.
