Can you find your way to heaven?
David M. Harrison© 1978
Can you find your way to Heaven?
Heaven is a real place. It is a real city of pure gold, with real street, buildings, trees and a river.
Heaven is a special place that God has prepared for all his children after they die. We all want to go there someday, don't we?
In heaven there will be no more death, hunger, sorrow, pain or suffering. There will be no more night there and no more sin.
Everyone wants to go to heaven someday. But everyone will get to heaven. Why not?
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Revelation 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The Bible says there will be no sin in heaven.
Therefore, if have sin in our hearts and lives we cannot go to heaven.
We have all sinned and have done something bad, haven't we? Admit it. Because of sin we cannot go to heaven.
If we cannot go to heaven, then there is only one place we can go...
Revelation 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
...the lake of fire or Hell. Hell is God's punishment for your sin. It is a place of eternal punishment for that devil and his demons, and all the people who are without Jesus.
Someone must pay the penalty for your sin, if you want to go to heaven.
God will allow someone else to take your punishment. Who would die in your place?
Someone already has...
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The Lord Jesus Christ has already paid the price for your sin.
God knew that you could not get to heaven because of your sin. He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to suffer and die in your place. He suffered, bled and died for your sin. His own blood was the price paid for your sin.
Jesus was crucified. He died and was buried in a grave. But, He didn't stay in the grave...
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
On the third day, Jesus arose from the grave, alive forevermore. The price for your sin was paid. The fact that He arose from the dead proves that He is the Son of God. Since He came back from the dead, He can give you eternal life. It is not enough to know that Jesus shed His blood and died to pay the price for your sin. You must do one more thing in order to get rid of your sin. When you do this, you can go to heaven someday...
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Believe that Jesus paid the price for your sin. Reach out with the hand of faith and receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. This gift is freely offered to you.
Take the gift of eternal life and heaven right now! Here's how..
1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
From the heart say a simple prayer like this:
"Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner, I have done bad things and I am sorry for them.
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Live in my heart forever. Take away my sin, so that I can go to heaven.
Thank you Jesus for saving me.
Amen"
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
