How Do I Know If I am Going To Heaven?

Heaven or hellPlease contact us if you have any questions or comments or would just like some encouragement?

When I was a young boy, I thought that all I needed to do to get into heaven was to be good. Later on in life, when I was in my twenties and became a Born Again Christian, I learned that it is by faith that we get into heaven, not because of anything good we could do! Otherwise, why would Jesus have to die on the cross for our sins?

Ephesians 2:8-9  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.

Do You Know You Can Be In Heaven?

You’ll need to understand what Jesus did to assure you of your salvation!

Tell the world about Jesus Christ

As you get to know God is in a more personal way, you will want to tell the whole world about Him, that he has saved you from your fate and given you a new life!

What is your decision going to be?

  • It has been made aware that we all have sinned and deserve God’s judgment by God’s Word.
  • God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him.
  • Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins.
  • He took the punishment that we deserve. He was buried and rose from the dead, according to the Bible.
  • If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
  1. Yes, I want to follow Jesus!
  2. I am a follower of Jesus already!
  3. I still have more questions about Jesus!

God Wants You In Heaven With Him In Heaven!

Salvation is your choice

God gives us free will to choose Him or not. He is a gentleman and will only us, not make us love Him.

God desires a relationship with us. Through prayer, we communicate with the one who thoroughly knows and loves us perfectly. Prayer is a two-way communication where we not only speak to Him, but He speaks to us.
God loves you and wants you to know Him so He can fill you with peace and give you real-life — forever. “God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only son so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never die.” Jesus said, “I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest.”
Since God planned for us to have peace and life, why are we so far from God?

 

 

 

 

 

  • Sin Separates You From God

  • Jesus Christ Died For Our Sins

  • We Must Receive Christ To Go To Heaven

Funeral Of Diana Rose Rathmann ~ By Pastor Doug Schoen January 18, 2020

I knew Diane from Elmbrook church and volunteered at a resale store called “Almost Anything.” Diana had stage 4 cancer for four years, and she had incredible strength and confidence in the Lord. She always was cheerful and kind to everyone. She was very friendly, intelligent, reliable, and a natural leader. She had a beautiful positive character, yet what made Diana tick was her love and faith for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Nice things are beautiful, but they did not get Diana into heaven. Her faith in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross was not anything Diana did herself!

What is heaven?   Psalm 23:6   John 14:2   Matthew 6:9-10

Am I qualified for heaven?  Romans 6:23

What must I do?   1 John 1:9   John 5:24

How do I transition?  Psalm 23:4   2 Corinthians 5:8   Ecclesiastes 12:7

What will I look like?   Philippians 3:20-21   1 Corinthians 15:42-44

Will I become an angel?  Luke 20:36

Who else will be in heaven?  Revelation 7:9

 

2 Timothy 4:7-8  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Can I Know For Sure That  I Will Be Going To Heaven?

Jesus Wants To Welcome You In Heaven!

Heaven will be a beautiful place someday!

The quick answer to this question is in Romans 10:9-10 . If you declare 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 profess your faith and are saved.

The Bible teaches us a great deal about heaven. I researched Biblegateway.com and found 622 Bible results for “heaven.” Heaven is very real, and so is hell. We are all going to die one day. Learn the truth about eternity!

Jesus Revealed That Heaven Is A Real Place And That It Is The Dwelling Place Of God (His Father’s house).

Are You Going To Heaven?

Take the quiz: Choose below what you think is required to get into heaven.

  1. Obey God’s laws and commandments.
  2. Be genuinely sorry for your sins, and confess your sins.
  3. Live a good life, and stop sinning.
  4. Give money to church or charity.
  5. Water baptism or Holy Communion
  6. Trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and also serve Him.

The answers below might or might not surprise you:

ANSWERS: (Taken From The Bible)

1. Trying to keep the commandments cannot save us. They only show us that we are sinners.

 
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

2. Being sorry for your sins or confessing your sins cannot take away the sin. The penalty for sin is death. We all die physically, but we also deserve to die spiritually by spending eternity in Hell.

 
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
 

3. Living a healthy life is commendable, and to stop sinning is very desirable (yet impossible). Jesus is coming to judge the living and the dead!

 
Revelation 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful to deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

4. Give money to church or charities to take away your sins or save you. 

 
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved- through faith, and this is not from yourself, it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast.
 

5. Water baptism and communion cannot pay for sins. They are for those who are already saved.

 
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not because of righteous things we have done, but because of his mercy. He saves us through the washing of rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit.

 

6. By trusting in Jesus Christ as the one who died for your sins, you will receive everlasting life. Even though you may die physically, your soul will live forever in Heaven. 

 
John 3:16 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.
