The Bible Way To Heaven
1. We are all sinners.
1 John 1:8 KJV
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
Romans 3 KJV
“10 As it is written, There is NONE righteous, no, NOT ONE:
23 For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
————
2. The wages of sin is death and hell.
Romans 6:23 KJV
“For the WAGES of sin is DEATH; but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.”
Here, the Bible says the WAGES of sin is DEATH meaning HELL, the SECOND DEATH.
Revelation 20:14 KJV
“And DEATH and HELL were cast into the LAKE OF FIRE. This is the SECOND DEATH.”

3. Jesus paid the wages of sin for us.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
“1 Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 BY WHICH also YE ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the scriptures;
4 And that HE WAS BURIED, AND that HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES:”
————
4. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth to save you.
Romans 10 KJV
“9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Matthew 12:34 KJV
“out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”
Psalms 116:10 KJV
“I believed, therefore have I spoken:”
If you believe the gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, tell God you believe them and say this simple prayer.
God, I know I’m a sinner and I deserve hell,
I believe you sent your son Jesus Christ of Nazareth to die for my sins,
I believe he died for my sins, was buried, and rose again,
I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
I’m only trusting in you Jesus to save me,
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and Savior,
please save me right now,
please give me eternal life,
please come into my heart,
fill me with the Holy Ghost,
and take me to heaven when I die,
Thank you for saving me,
I love you,
it is in Jesus’s name I pray,
thank you,
Amen.
When we get saved, we receive the Holy Ghost, which is the same as the Holy Spirit!
Jesus breathed the Holy Ghost onto his disciples after they saw him risen from the dead, and they believed, this is the same as us! After we believe that Jesus rose from the dead, we receive the Holy Ghost.
John 20:21-22 KJV
“21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:”
John 14:16-18 KJV
“16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you FOR EVER;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
When we get saved we become children of God.
John 1:12 KJV
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
Galatians 3:26 KJV
“For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus.”
