Here are a few: Maybe these will help
John 3:15
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 John 2:25
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

But as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12
To receive a person into your home, you need to open the door and let him in. To receive a person into your life, you need to open your heart to him. In marriage, for example, to "give your heart" to someone used to mean to give up your "worldly goods" to them, to be willing to die for them and dedicate the rest of your life to that one person. As the bride of Christ, Christians need to have this attitude. And most Christians start out with this attitude, but then lose their enthusiasm along the way and take parts of their life back here and there. However, they will stll go to heaven if they have truly received Christ. I don't think the words "give your life to God" are in the Bible, but the concept is there.

Romans 10: 9-13
9- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that god hath raised him from the dead,thou shalt be saved.
10- For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11- For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12- For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13- For whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved.

No way! It is more complicated than the Christians want to admit!
Almost everybody can be a Christian, but only very, very few make it to Heaven...
Matthew 7:13-14 (Jesus said) "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
And of the only FEW WHO FIND the narrow gate not all of them will be able to get in...
Luke 13:23-24 (NIV) Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.
On top of that you need to hate your own family to follow Jesus!
Matthew 10:34-37 niv
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
your enemies will be the members of your own household.' "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Luke 14:26 (NIV) Jesus Christ said, "If anyone comes to me and does not HATE* (*Greek=miseo=to abhor!) his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:33 (NIV) In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.
Mark 10:28-30 (NIV) Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age [RIGHT NOW!!!] (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.
The acid test comes when Jesus finds out that you are neither hot nor cold and pukes you out of his Holy Belly... (Revelation 3:16) and the Bible tells you that only a dog goes back to eat his own vomit!
