Acts 4:11–12
The conventional wisdom about what happens when you die is that you will stand before God,
Many good people think that by being good and not hurting anyone, or because they have performed many good deeds, or because they attend church every Sunday, that they are going to heaven. I’m sorry to tell you that your good deeds, church attendance, or good behavior will not get you into heaven.
Then the other belief is that if you have done enough bad things that outweigh your good works, then you will go to hell, because hell is for bad people. Heaven is for good people who get in by good works, while hell is for bad people who do bad things.
But that is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches that hell is prepared for the devil and his angels (see Matthew 25:41); it isn't prepared for bad people at all.
Heaven is the dwelling place of God, and the way you get into heaven is on the basis of what you did with Jesus. What God will want to know is did you believe in Jesus Christ?
Even if you have lived a wicked life and sinned throughout all of it, if on your deathbed you were to call out to the Lord Jesus Christ in genuine repentance, you would go to heaven. But if you lived a good life and have been a relatively moral person and have done good deeds, but you have never put your faith in Jesus Christ, then you would not go to heaven. And by the way, your good works never would outweigh your bad works. So be thankful that is not what you will be judged for.
Has anyone ever told you before that God loves you, and that He has a wonderful plan for your life? It’s true. God Loves you and wants you to come to know His son, Jesus today. JESUS is there with you right now and He wants to be your Lord and Savior. Are you ready to know Jesus, the Savior who loves you so much that He died just for you? You were on His mind when He hung on that cross.
If your not born again, and you don't know Jesus. Its your time. Let me take a moment to introduce my best Friend and Father in Heaven. It take less then a minute. A simple prayer. Dear Lord Jesus, I am a sinner come into my heart. Forgive me of my sin. and that I might become a new creation in Christ. Wash me and cleanse me. Set me free. Jesus, thank You for dying and shedding your blood for me and my sins at the cross. I believe that You are risen from the dead and that You’re coming back again for me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. Give me a passion for the lost, a hunger for the things of God and a Holy boldness to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I confess that I’m saved; I’m born again, I’m forgiven and I’m on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart. Amen.
I encourage you to get a Bible and begin to spend time with Him (Jesus) in His Word. Start with the New Testament. Check out the churches listed on this website. Find one that teaches the whole Word of God. And go, share the good news of the Gospel and bring others to Jesus.
The assurance that we will go to heaven is not as our culture often sees it, but this is as the Bible teaches it. It is the Son question—not the sin question. God bless you and stand strong and firm in God's word and live it. have a wonderful day.. Love you all Saints..
