"Will I Get To Heaven IF.........This is the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION a person will ever answer in their entire lifetime on earth. Many will ask this question during their lifetimes, many will not. Because God created man...Genesis 1 vs 27... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them..... Throughout history many people have claimed "they have the answer" to getting to Heaven. I have listed below a few of these "claims" to illustrate God's POINT and God's Commandment. By no means are these examples meant to cause anger amongst the reader or to insult the reader. My purpose is solely to GET YOU TO THINK. STOP for a moment and THINK. It is YOUR SOUL which is in the balance. Nothing else in this world is more important to YOU, than your own SOUL.

John 3
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be bornagain, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ...
Notice that this Scripture DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING related to the above listed ways that mankind has chosen to believe is their way to Heaven. I am not an ordained preacher. I am a simple "sinner" who received Jesus Christ as my Savior more than 45 years ago. On the cover page of this web-site I described this event. What is interesting to me is how God FIRST draws a person towards Him. God does this through His Holy Spirit. Before anyone can become "saved by God" that person first must be drawn to God. Man does not wake up in the morning and decide today is the day I want to be saved. This "drawing to God" is a mystery which God has put into place. Throughout the Bible there have been several instances where God simply moves towards a person. He moved towards Moses. He moved towards Joseph. He moved towards His disciples. When God chooses to do something He simply does it. When man contemplates doing something sometimes it takes years to actually begin to act. "Except a man be bornagain, he cannot see the kingdom of God...".
Jesus Christ goes further with His explanation on entering Heaven......
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Now please pay close attention. DO NOT grab your religious materials. DO NOT grab your "Watchtower" pamphlet. DO NOT grab your Q'uran. DO NOT grab ANYTHING except a BIBLE. I use the King James version, but I am 70 and that is certainly good enough for me. You can use any of several versions which DO NOT CHANGE or ALTER what I have printed above. It is my belief that to be saved one must seek God. Yes, God draws a person whose heart is seeking God. In my case, I sought God for an answer involving my eternity. God heard my heart and showed mercy towards my soul. When I accepted God's gift to me (His only begotten Son) I was saved. It is a wonderful comfort to know that someday, when I stand before God Almighty and God asks me "Why should you not go into Hell" my answer to God will be "I should not go into Hell because you sent your only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross so that my penalty for sin would be paid-in-full. I have accepted your Gift, Your Son Jesus Christ as paying my debt and I have believed on your Son".
The MOST IMPORTANT TASK a human being will ever have during their life-time is to PREPARE FOR THEIR ETERNITY. Stop and think of all the time you have already spent learning, doing, experiencing. All of the events which have transpired in your lifetime to this point. Stop and think about all of the future events that you have thought about experiencing. Add them all up in front of you. Take a good look at EVERYTHING. Now, where does preparation for your eternity fit within the confines of this evaluation. Most people do not ever take the time to prepare their soul for eternity. Most people become so busy they forget about the MOST IMPORTANT TASK OF THEIR LIFETIME.......PREPARING TO FACE HOLY GOD.....
Being saved (accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior) is how a person gets into Heaven. There is NO OTHER WAY.
