In one minute, in the privacy of your home, it can be explained how you can know for sure that you will receive the gift of Heaven.

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that ye have eternal life." – 1 John 5:13 (KJV)

Here are four things you ought to know:

God says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." – Romans 3:23
God says, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." – Romans 5:12

This is the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The price for sin is death.

God says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." – Romans 5:8

God loves you very much. He doesn't want you to go to Hell. In fact, He loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to this earth. This is why Christmas is celebrated. Jesus actually lifted the sins from you and placed them upon Himself.

When Jesus was on the cross, His blood cleansed your sin. He paid the price for your sin, which is death. They buried Jesus and He arose from the dead. He conquered death and He conquered sin. This is why Easter is celebrated.

He offers you life.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." – Romans 6:23

Eternal life is a present. You can't get baptized into Heaven; be good to get into Heaven, pay money to get into Heaven; in fact, you can't do anything to get into Heaven, except to accept God's gift and trust Jesus as your only way into Heaven.

God says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." – Romans 10:13

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God..." – John 1:12

"... but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." – Romans 6:23

Here is how you receive the free gift of salvation:

Dear Jesus,

Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. I trust you today, Jesus, to lead me through my life. I trust you today, Jesus, to take me to Heaven. Thank you for your sacrifice for me. Amen

Just as you were physically born to your parents, you are spiritually born into the Kingdom of God when you receive Jesus.

If you have prayed this prayer for the first time, tell a friend. Then find a church and tell the pastor you are a new Christian. Read your Bible and pray daily for the Lord is now your light, your guide and your Savior. Thanks be to God!

Meditation: I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. – Luke 15:7

You will succeed because Jesus loves You!
