How do you get to heaven ?

Answer 1

I apologize for the ignorance of the people who have answered your question above. Your question deserves more attention and consideration than they gave you. A man asked Paul, in the Bible, "What must I do to be saved?" That's the old fashioned way of saying, "How do I get to heaven?" Paul told him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."

Basically, all you need to do is believe that Jesus paid for your sins and understand that He will take you to Heaven. God created us with a free will, so we decide. He cannot let sin into heaven, and since we all sin, we can't go to heaven on our own. Jesus, who lived a perfect life without sin, was killed and died on the cross to take our punishment for sin. Only Jesus could do this, since He had no sin of his own to pay for. Since Jesus took our place, we can take His place as children of God. When we accept His gift of salvation, by understanding our sin and His payment for it, our sin is erased, and when God looks at us, He no longer sees our sin; He sees His own perfect Son--in us! And He welcomes us into heaven.

The reason so many people make light of this question is because they don't want to face the fact that there is a hell, and they will go there if they don't believe in Christ. A LOT of people don't want to own up to their sin; they will make any excuse for it, and it is sad that the only sin God doesn't forgive is the sin of unbelief. They will spend eternity in hell.

I hope this helps. It is a confusing world out there, and nobody wants the truth. But it's all in the Bible, if you want to find out--READ IT!

The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 3

This will take you step by step: http://www.eeinternational.org/DYKFS/English/DYK_Eng_1.htm

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.

Luke 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Answer 4

BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ~~ Acts 16:31

1-8OO-759-O7OO - 700 CLUB.

AND THERE IS SALVATION IN AND THROUGH NO ONE ELSE.
FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY AND WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED
-- Acts 4:12

BECAUSE IF YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONFESS WITH YOUR LIPS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND IN YOUR HEART BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED. ~~ ROMANS 1O:9********

FOR WITH THE HEART, A PERSON BELIEVES AND SO IS JUSTIFIED (DECLARED ACCEPTABLE TO GOD) AND WITH THE MOUTH, HE CONFESSES (DECLARES OPENLY AND SPEAKS OUT FREELY HIS FAITH) AND CONFIRMS HIS SALVATION. ~~ Romans 1O;1O.

Answer 5

Not by being good.
You can't be good enough. God is perfect, we have sinned, God can't be around sin.

So then, who will pay the punishment for the sin that we have committed?

Jesus did.

Only through Jesus can we be saved.

Even the demons in hell believe in Jesus.

Answer 8

Read, study, and obey HIS WORD, the BIBLE. GOD expects complete obedience to the scriptures. To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great day!
