How can you make sure you go to Heaven after DEATH .
Do you know for certain that you have eternal life and that you will go to heaven when you die? God wants you to be sure!
The Bible says: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” .
Suppose you were standing before God right now and He asked you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” What would you say? You may not know what to reply. What you need to know is that God loves us and has provided a way that we can know for sure where we will spend eternity.
The Bible states it this way: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” .
We have to first understand the problem that is keeping us from heaven. The problem is this - our sinful nature keeps us from having a relationship with God. We are sinners by nature and by choice. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” .
We cannot save ourselves. “For by grace are you saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves – it is the gift of God. Not by works, so that no one can boast” . We deserve death and hell. “For the wages of sin is death” .
God is holy and just and must punish sin, yet He loves us and has provided forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.
Jesus died for us on the cross: “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous to bring you to God” . Jesus was resurrected from the dead: “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” .
So, back to the original question – “How can I know for sure that I will go to heaven when I die?” The answer is this – believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved . “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God” .
You can receive eternal life as a FREE gift. “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” . You can live a full and meaningful life right now. Jesus said: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” .
You can spend eternity with Jesus in heaven, for He promised: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may also be where I am” .
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here is a prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness of sins.
This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your forgiveness. "God, I know that I have sinned against You and am deserving of punishment.
But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness! Amen!"
Heaven Is Nearer Than You Think
Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). Christ is the Lord of paradise. He holds its keys. There can be no higher assurance than his promise. That’s why the apostle Paul says, “It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns?” (Romans 8:33-34).
Death does not lead to a long period of unconsciousness. Nor does it lead, for the believer, to a long process of being prepared. For a Christian believer, death is an immediate translation into the joys of life at the right hand of God. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Christian, heaven is much nearer than you think. “Today you will be with me in paradise.”
What happens after death depends on a single choice that you make during your life.
You can make that choice right up to the end, just before your last breath. But once you die, you can’t undo your decision. Reincarnation doesn’t occur. You don’t come back and get to do it over. You don’t get a second chance.
If you choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross to save you from the consequences of your sin, you receive eternal life and go to heaven to be with Him forever in fellowship, light, joy and truth. God raised Jesus from the dead—and if you believe in Him, He will raise you too.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
But if you choose not to believe, you go to hell. You are condemned to loneliness, separation, never-ending regret, and fire.
Heaven or hell. Life or death. Jesus or destruction.
If you have chosen Jesus, your spirit leaves your body when you die and goes to heaven. You’re absent from the body but present with the Lord.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
On the Day of Judgment, God doesn’t roll out all your sins and berate you and cast you away. Jesus already suffered the judgment and punishment for your sins. God sees you as cleansed by His Son’s blood. You’re forgiven. It’s God’s gift of grace, not earned by any good works that you have done on earth. Your name is written in the book of life.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
You won’t be judged, but you’ll be evaluated for your Christian life—for your faithfulness and the things you’ve done that have eternal value, not for your material success on earth. You’ll receive rewards of some kind for the work you allowed Jesus to do through you. But nothing will compare to the joy of being with God in the inexpressibly beautiful new heavens and earth.
You also will receive a new body. Just as Jesus was resurrected, so you’ll be given a resurrection body.
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
When Jesus rose from the dead, He was the same and yet different. His body functioned outside the limits of space. He was able to appear in a room without entering it, and yet he ate and shared fellowship with His disciples. His hands and feet bore the holes of the nails of the cross, but He was alive and not in agony. You’ll receive a resurrection body that is suited for heaven!
But if you’ve rejected Jesus, if you’ve refused to accept Him as your Lord and Savior, you’ll stand before God’s great white throne and be condemned. You will be rejected as you rejected Christ. It will make no difference that you now realize your mistake. You’ll passionately desire to be with God, but you never will be. The book of Revelation says that anyone whose name is not written in the book of life will be “thrown into the lake of fire.”
Heaven or hell. Life or death. Jesus or eternal destruction. You have a choice but no second chance once you die.
