What does it take for a person to go to Heaven?  Here’s how the Bible answers it.

FORGIVENESS

• We cannot have eternal life and Heaven without God's forgiveness.  "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  (Ephesians 1:7)
  

AVAILABLE

• God's forgiveness is available for all.  "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. That whoever (YOU) believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."  ( John 3:16)
  
• But it's not automatic. “Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of Heaven."  (Matthew 7:21)
  

IMPOSSIBLE

• It is impossible for God to allow sin into Heaven. Even though God is love God is also Just.  "For judgment is without mercy to him that hath shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”  (James 2:13)
  
• It is also impossible because Man Is Sinful. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  (Romans 3:23)
  

TURN
If you are driving down the road and someone asks you to turn they would be asking you to change direction. To turn means to repent. 

• Turn from something (Sin and self): "But unless you repent you will all likewise perish."  (Luke 13:3)
  
• Turn To Someone (Trust Christ Only) "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”  (1 Corinthians 15:3b-4)
• Confess "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."  (Romans 10:9)

HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life!  We do get a bit of Heaven... 

• Here "I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  (John 10:10)
  
• Hereafter "And if I [Jesus] go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”  (John 14:3)
  

How can you have God's forgiveness, Heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? 
Well, F.A.I.T.H. also stands for... "Forsaking All I Trust Him." If you would like to receive this forgiveness by trusting Christ as your personal Savior why not pray this prayer?

"Lord, I know I am a sinner. I need forgiveness for my sins. I believe You sent Your Son Jesus to die for forgiveness of my sins and that He rose again on the third day. I want to invite Him into my heart as my Lord and Savior, receive the forgiveness I need and to commit my life to being a disciple of Christ from this day forward. Thank You for the blessing of salvation! In Jesus name I pray.  AMEN."
