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!

I'm a Christian, and the only way to get to heaven is by admitting your sins to God and letting him know that you want to accept him as the person who saved you from going to hell. It has nothing to do with being good, everyone sins, but accepting Jesus as your Lord will save you as long as you truly mean it. Message me if you have any other questions :)

Christ said the Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)--therefore it is entirely up to you which sort of a world you live in--you can make your life a heaven or a hell.

You get to Heaven by admitting your sins, asking for forgiveness, and accepting Jesus Christ as your savior. You go to hell if you do not accept Jesus.

You will get into heaven by accepting and acknowleging that you (like the rest of us) are a sinner & that Jesus died for your sins.
You will get into hell by not doing the above.

Well to get in Jesus said you must love God with all your heart and love everyone else the same way you love yourself. He said these were the two biggest most important things you can do in life.
