We don't "do" anything, it is all done. God did it all.
Eph 2:1 and you being dead in deviations and sins,
Eph 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
Eph 2:3 among whom we also all conducted ourselves in times past in the lusts of our flesh, doing the things willed of the flesh and of the understanding, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as the rest.
Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Eph 2:5 even we being dead in deviations, He made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are being saved),
Eph 2:6 and raised us up together and seated us together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7 that He might demonstrate in the ages coming on, the exceeding great riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;
Eph 2:9 not of works, that not anyone should boast;
Eph 2:10 for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.
Notice how much He did, and that we did nothing, except be dead in sin.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Surrender your life to Lord and you become born again. When the Holy Spirit comes in He starts purifying and refining you. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin and before long you will hate sin because you love the Lord so much that to sin against Him is more than you can bear. Get a KJV Bible and begin reading it in the New Testament.

A true Christian=believer and follower of Jesus Christ has already done the ONE thing that insures them an eternity in Heaven with Jesus Christ and Almighty God.
Those people admitted that they were sinners and imperfect, they ask Jesus Christ to forgive them all of their sins, and ask Jesus to come into their heart and life to be their one and only personal Lord and Savior.
Jesus says it simplest and best. Jesus says, " I AM the way, the truth, and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father except through ME."

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!

Nothing,,,Christians have already done it...All we do is keep the faith.....We accepted Jesus as our Savior....those who are not Christians need to do the same if they want to go to Heaven.

Believe and testify that there is only 1 God that is creater of Heaven and earth and everything in both; believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and as the Son of God; surrender your life and will to God; repent and vocally confess of all of your past and present thoughts, words, and deeds; forgive everyone whom has hurt you in any way; open your heart to God, Jesus, and God's Holy Spirit; and admit that the Bible (King James) is God's Book of Truth....then, read and study the Word of God, learn about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and have a relationship with the Father and the Son and pray and talk to them often, be baptized with water and be baptized in the Holy Spirit: continue forgiving and seeking love for all, and do as the Bible and God says. :)
Looks more detailed written out, very simply done actually, God Bless! :)

Acts 16:31 - Believe On the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved...
So simple a child could do it.. God never makes things complicated ' for where there is confusion there is not God' .....
So simple is our invitation to heaven .......
So great a gift.....
And it baffles my mind why people walk away and consider not there eternity.........
