The complete gospel - Bible Way to Heaven in 4 minutes

If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure that you’d go to heaven? You can know for sure! First of all, the Bible says that we’re all sinners - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. So we’re all guilty of lying, stealing or coveting - and the Bible says there’s a punishment for our sins - For the wages of sin is death. This is not only referring to a physical death, but also to a second death in hell. And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. And we know that we’ve all lied before, and we’ve all done worse things than lying. Therefore we all deserve hell because of our sins.

But the good news is that God loves us and He doesn’t want us to go to hell to be punished for our sins. That’s why He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the propitiation (or payment) for our sins. Jesus is the Son of God and He’s also God manifest in the flesh. The Bible says that Christ died for our sins, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day in order to pay for all of our sins and to save us from hell. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, it’s just as if He had done them Himself – He was being punished in our place. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree. He died for all of our sins- past, present and future.

Moreover, the Bible says that salvation is a gift. ‘’For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast’’. Since salvation is a gift, and gifts are always free, we don’t have to give anything in return (it’s not of works, not of our own doing). The word grace means ‘’something we do not deserve’’ (remember, we deserve hell, not salvation). And the word faith means ‘’what we are trusting to be saved’’.

The one thing the Bible says we must do to be saved is: ‘’Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved’’. To believe means to trust – it doesn’t mean to only believe that Jesus exists, but to actually trust Him to save us personally. To believe on Him means that we put all of our faith and trust in His death, His burial and His resurrection as the complete payment for our sins (which guarantees us eternal life). Notice the verse doesn’t say that you have to repent of all of your sins, or join a church, or be baptized, or keep the commandments, or be a good person- it only says believe.

And once you believe on Christ, you will be saved forever. So that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. The moment you put your trust in Christ alone as Savior, you receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Now, if you do good things after you’re saved, God will bless you, and if you commit sins, God will correct you – but there’s nothing you can do to lose salvation because you’ve become a child of God and all of your sins are paid for and covered by the blood of Jesus. You are justified before God – it’s just as if you had never sinned. Salvation is based solely on Christ’s payment for our sins and whether we accept it or not. No one is good enough to go to Heaven on their own merits.

So the only thing you must do to receive the gift of eternal life is to call on Jesus by faith - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (if you ask Him to save you), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. So if you admit that you’re a sinner, condemned to hell, and if you believe that salvation can only be received through faith in Jesus’ finished work on the cross, and that it’s not based on your own goodness or efforts, and that you can never lose it (either by sinning or by a lack of good works), you can repeat after me: ‘’Lord Jesus, I know I’m a sinner, and I deserve to go to hell, but I believe that you died on the cross and rose again to pay for all of my sins. Save me right now, and give me eternal life. I’m trusting in you alone as my Savior– apart from my works. Thanks for saving me, Amen.’’ So if you have sincerely asked Jesus to save you, you’re saved forever. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. Congrats.

The KJV cathechism

The most important commandments from the King James Bible (print, learn and memorize these!).

The Lord's prayer, the 10 commandments (and the greatest commandments)- John 3:16, etc.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (Ephesians 6:1-3)

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. - Matthew 22:36-40

Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Matthew 19:18, 19)

-

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matthew 6:33

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. -   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Matthew 4:4, Joshua 1:8-9).

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. - Matthew 6:7-13

The decalogue (Ten Commandments) - And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 13 Thou shalt not kill. 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15 Thou shalt not steal. 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. - Exodus 20:1-17 (The ten commandments).

Christian discipline - 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. - 1Thessalonians 5:14-24

Godly service - Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. - Ecclesiastes 12:1, 13-14
