Salvation
Churches all over the country ask people this question…  “Are you saved?” Many times the response is… “Saved from what?” Salvation is knowing for sure that you are going to Heaven.  Many people walk through life not knowing the answer to the question “Do you know if you are going to heaven?” Many people are misguided about how to get to heaven.  You cannot get to heaven just by being a good person or a good citizen – which are admirable qualities.  The Bible, God’s Word, gives us the answer to the question “How do I know that I am going to heaven when I die?”
 
First of all, everybody dies.  The Bible tells us everybody who dies will go to one of two literal places - to heaven or to hell.  Hell is a place of eternal punishment that God made for the devil (Matt. 25:41).  How could a God of love send anybody to hell?  He "is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."  God doesn't want you to go to hell.  But, we have all sinned and broken God's law.  God said, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
 
God made a way for you to have forgiveness for your sin. Jesus, God's son, said, "I am the way, the Truth and the Life."  Yes, and Jesus is the only way to have eternal life.  He became the way by giving His life as a sacrifice on the cross, He was buried, and after three days He arose.  When He arose, He opened the way for all who would receive Him to live forever. 
 
What do you have to do to have eternal life?  "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and (you) will be saved."  He is waiting to hear from you right now.  He said, "Behold I stand at the door and knock.  If any man will open the door I will come into him and sup with him."  That is, He will forgive you, live in your heart, and be your Guide and Friend for all eternity.  You can trust what God has promised.  The Bible tells us, "Whosoever  shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Just believe Him today.  Turn from your sin-filled life and trust in His word.  He will save you and give you a lasting peace.
 
When you do, let us know so we may rejoice with you.
