The Only Way To Heaven

One day you and I will leave this world, and that may be sooner than we think.

Many sincere people think they can get to heaven because of how good they are or the good they do. They may even practice a religion. But these things are not God’s way to heaven.

The way to heaven is Jesus, the One who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (Jn. 14:6 NKJV).

A single act of disobedience got Adam and Eve thrown out of paradise forever. Likewise, just one sin will forever keep you from entering heaven, unless you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Have you believed in Him with all your heart? If not, why not do so right now? Satan – the enemy who convinced Adam and Eve to sin – says, “Wait a little while.” But God says to you, “Believe Now!”

If I could take you by the hand to the edge of hell to see the eternal condition of the damned, and then take you to the window of heaven to see the eternal bliss of the saved, I am sure you would quickly decide where you would want to go. You wouldn’t rest until you had made sure you were going to heaven.

However, I can’t show you those places. I can only point you to the Lord Jesus Christ who has spoken about them. He suffered, shed His blood and died on the cross at Calvary – under the judgment of God – in order to rescue you from hell and prepare you for heaven. You can read about what He went through for you in Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23 and John 19.

When Christ was on earth He said: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28) and, “the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (Jn. 6:37).

The heart of the resurrected Savior longs for sinners to come to Him with all their sins and need. If as a sinner you come to Jesus and believe in Him as your Savior and Lord, you can trust, according to the Word of God, that your sins will be forgiven and you will go to heaven (read Acts 10:43; Jn. 14:1-3).

The way to heaven is Jesus. There is no other way. Receive Christ. Tell Him right now that you believe that He died for you. We can tell you more.
