Well, I can help!!!!! I'm a christian and to go to Heaven, you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Meaning you need to know that a long time ago, Jesus died on a cross to take away the sins of the world. And you need to pray the sinner's prayer. In the prayer, you pray to God to confess your sins and ask God to forgive you of your sins. After you confess your sins to God, then God will have mercy upon you and He will forgive you of all your sins. No one is perfect, so no one can keep the commandments. Everyone has stole something before and evryone has said a lie before and everyone has disobeyed their parents before. So see, no one is perfect. After we have received Christ as our Lord and Saviour, then when we do something bad, God will have mercy and He will forgive us when we ask him to. But when you get saved, Jesus Christ comes into your heart and he will help you to always do what's right. But sometimes we will do something bad because the devil will tempt us to do bad things. Also when we trust Christ as our Lord and Saviour, then we will have eternal life. Meaning when we die, we will go to Heaven, which is called a perfect paradice, and we will live forever. Our spirit will never die, but our bodies will. But when we get to Heaven, our bodies will be perfect! No more sickness, darkness, tiredness or anything like that. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. E-mail me at: lisaluvsgod08@yahoo.com. I'll be more than glad to help you!!!

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!

Salvation is FREE, it is a Gift of God through Jesus atonement by GRACE.
But free salvation will only get you in the door, It might not get a really good resurrection either.
Dont be confused, please.
we are rewarded according to our works and those who overcome all things will be given all things.
but not all people will be given a mansion. Not all people will be given crowns of glory. There are 12 different references to "overcoming" in the book of revelation and one of them is referred to in the other parts of the bible.
jesus declared we Must be PERFECT even as our Father in heaven is perfect. it is also written that we need to seek the kingdom of God first and "HIS righteousness".
but in Acts 10:34,35 it clearly says that we ARE accepted of him if we do the works of righteousness.
Now i find this verse to be a little off the traditional path, because it seems to denote all people of the nations, NOT just christians.

We are saved by grace but Jesus said if you love me you will follow me. To follow Him you must want to not sin. If you do sin you must go and ask forgivness and start to walk the right path again.

Only by God's grace. Their is nothing you can do to earn eternal life. Accept and trust Jesus for your salvation. He has died for your sins and rose to give you the free gift of eternsl life. You accept this free gift by faith

What I think is that you don't have to do anything, but accept Jesus Christ in you life and you have to fully believe in him... And what ever you do bad, God will forgive you.

Repent, ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.
