The Way to Heaven
The apostle Paul writes,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9-13.
The writer of Hebrews speaking of Jesus said,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:1-3.
I as a Christian believe Jesus is the Son of God, God in the flesh. Who died for my sins. But not only that, I believe He rose again from the grave, walked again briefly on this earth, and ascended to heaven to be with God, form where He will one day judge each person.
As a Christian believe the following in brief is the way to heaven. It come down to who you think Jesus is and what his purpose on this earth was for. I present this for you to think about.
Jesus speaking of himself said,
There is however hope for each individual.
The apostle John noting,
Faith defined as,
That’s why in the form of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ he entered the world to show man how much He loved him. To in human terms go as far as He could to reconcile each individual to himself.
C. S. Lewis the Christian writer noted this of Christian belief,
All God asks of the individual is to have faith that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for your sins.
If you believe what I have written why not take a moment and from your heart say this prayer. A prayer in which you are simply acknowledging Jesus is the Son of God and are accepting Him as your Lord and saviour. The one who died for your sins.
Dear Heavenly Father
I believe in you. I believe that Jesus is your one and Only Son. Who paid the price for my sins.
I admit that I am a sinner and fall short of what you would have for my life. Please forgive me of my sins.
I accept your Saving Grace that comes through Jesus Christ.
I give you permission to come into my heart and life today. Guide me and show me your will for my life.
In Jesus name I pray Amen.
If you do not believe what I have said. All I can do is ask you to read the New Testament and see what believers in Christ teach. Then decide for yourself if what I have said is true.

Jesus speaking of himself said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16,17.
Speaking to the apostle Thomas Jesus said,
...“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6b
Paul writing to the Romans said,
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,...”
Romans 3:23
That all means every individual who has ever lived. Sinning is falling short of what God wants for you life. God’s ideal for our life. Sin separates us from God.There is however hope for each individual.
The apostle John noting,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned,
we make him out to be a liar
and his word has no place in our lives.”
1 John 1:9,10.
Paul make it clear salvation is not something we can work for. Paul writing to the Ephesians stating,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8,9
Ultimately salvation is an act of faith, Hebrews stating,Faith defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”
Hebrews 11:6.
The fact is God cares for each person. At the same time God realizes that man cannot live a life good enough to stand before him. God realizes that man is flawed and does things God does not want him to do.That’s why in the form of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ he entered the world to show man how much He loved him. To in human terms go as far as He could to reconcile each individual to himself.
C. S. Lewis the Christian writer noted this of Christian belief,
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good,
but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
C.S. Lewis.
As the Apostle Paul states. Entering heaven is an act of faith on the part of the individual. God out of love for His creation, in the form of His one and Only Son Jesus Christ reached down to man and said I love you.All God asks of the individual is to have faith that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for your sins.
If you believe what I have written why not take a moment and from your heart say this prayer. A prayer in which you are simply acknowledging Jesus is the Son of God and are accepting Him as your Lord and saviour. The one who died for your sins.

To quote C. S. Lewis,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance,
and if true, of infinite importance.
The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
C. S. Lewis
Please think about it.
