What I think
Isaiah the Prophet states,
Which begs the question dear reader where will you spend eternity?
As a Christian this for me is how you get to heaven. I place it here for you for your consideration.
Jesus said,
1/ "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.
2/ "....I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Jesus is the way to heaven.
The apostle Paul writes,
3/ "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:23,24.
Sinning is falling short of what God wants for you life. Sin separates us from God.
The apostle John noting,
4/ "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.
The apostle Paul making it clear Salvation is not something we can work for. Paul writing to the Ephesians states,
5/ "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 however salvation is an act of faith on the part of the individual, the writer of Hebrews stating,
6/ "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
7/
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“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.
Isaiah the Prophet states,
"A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?"
"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.”
Isaiah 40:6,7
My friend use to say there is only one ultimate statistic. That being 100% of people die.Which begs the question dear reader where will you spend eternity?

Faith defined as by the writer of Hebrews as,
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1
Thus the question is do you believe this?C. S. Lewis wrote,
“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.
