So... how does one get to heaven?
There seems to be an awful lot of confusion about how to get to heaven these days.
I won't lie to you, it is a narrow path and sometimes it gets pretty hard. A lot of people want
to see proof that God exists, but really the proof is all around. The proof is in everything
you see and can't see; from the stars at night to the atoms-invisible to the naked eye. Before
people knew what atoms were, they existed; but nobody could prove they were there. No one sees
God, but that doesn't mean He's not there (Romans 1:18-20). But one day the intangible will be
tangible. Everyone will see and know that there really is one true God.
But how does one get to know God? There's a lot of confusion about that too. There's one
way to know God and that's through His Son-Jesus. Everyone is separated from God because of sin,
but good news, Jesus actually died a horrible death on the cross so that our sins could be
wiped away (somebody had to do it, and He was the only One that was-and is-perfect). He would
have done that even if you were the only one who needed it. The way to get to know God is to
realize that we are permanently separated from Him because of our sins(and everyone has sinned
- Romans 3:10-12 and Romans 3:23 ) and believe that Jesus is the only One that can save us from
our sins. If you believe this, then you can ask Jesus to take away (forgive) your sins and ask
Him to come into your heart and change your life. He's only a prayer away!
You just need to say a prayer something like this: "I'm sorry for my sins, Jesus. Please
come into my heart and life and make a permanent change in me. Teach me and guide me and be with
me forever. Thank you Jesus. Amen (Romans 10:9-11). Then read your Bible (go get one if you
don't have one) and pray everyday. And - find a good
church that preaches about the Bible the way it is.
