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.
