The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven. Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) Good works cannot save you. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:
Admit you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; 1 John 1:10)
Be willing to turn from sin (repent). (Luke 13:5; Acts 17:30)
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Romans 10:9)
Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior. (Romans 10:10; Romans 10:13)
What to pray: Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:
Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better. (2 Timothy 2:15; Psalms 119:105)
Talk to God in prayer every day. (Matthew 21:22; Philippians 4:6)
Be baptized, worship, fellowship and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority. (Matthew 28:19; Hebrews 10:25; 2 Timothy 3:16)
Tell others about Christ. (Mark 16:15; 1 Corinthians 9:16; Romans 1:16)
