Bible Way to Heaven

The good news of salvation through Jesus Christ.

1. Recognize our need

Every person has sinned and falls short of God’s perfect standard. We cannot make ourselves righteous before God through our own efforts.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” — Romans 3:23 (KJV)

2. Understand the consequence of sin

Sin brings death and separation from God. Yet God offers eternal life as a gift through Jesus Christ.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” — Romans 6:23 (KJV)

3. Believe what Christ has done

Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. His sacrifice shows God’s love and provides the way for us to be forgiven.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Read also 1 Corinthians 15:3–4.

4. Trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour

Turn to God and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Good works and church attendance cannot save you. Salvation is received by faith, not earned.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” — Acts 16:31 (KJV)

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13 (KJV)

You can call on the Lord in prayer, acknowledging your sin and trusting Him to save you. It is faith in Christ—not a particular set of words—that matters.
