Heaven

[cavscout]

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)

When you die, what will Jesus say to you?
* “COME, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
(Matthew 25:34) -OR-
* "DEPART from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
(Matthew 25:41)

There's only ONE way to Heaven:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME." (John 14:6)

Admit you’re a sinner:
"As it is written, There is NONE righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10)
"For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

Realize the penalty for sin and accept God’s provision for your sin through the shed <font color="red">blood </font> of <u>Jesus Christ</u> :
"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, WHILE we were yet sinners, <u>Christ</u> died for us" (Romans 5:8)
"For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal LIFE through <u>Jesus Christ our Lord</u> " (Romans 6:23)
"For God so loved the world, that He gave <u>His only begotten Son</u> , that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"For by grace are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God." (Ephesians 2:8,9)

Personally receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord:
"That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy mouth <u>the Lord Jesus</u> , and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10)

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of <u>the Lord </u> shall be SAVED" (Romans 10:13)

:pray: Pray sincerely, in the best way you know how. You could say something like this, "Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner, and save me. I now, with a repentant heart, receive you as my personal Saviour".

What now?
Prayerfully read the Bible daily, and ask God to lead you to a Bible-believing church as you begin to
“Grow in the grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18)

1 John 5:13
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

Welcome to Ifish.

I would like to suggest reading Jennie's post about the purpose of the Angler's Chapel.

Hey Jennie...take a deep breath this morning :laugh:

There cannot be a more excellent first post. Welcome cavscout!

Matthew 4:19, "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Here's a video of my friend, Paul Chappell, regarding God's Biblical way to Heaven, The Bible Way to Heaven, by Dr. Paul Chappell (mms://lancbapt.wmod.llnwd.net/a253/o2/gospel.wmv) Paul and I played on the same basketball team as kids. Now Paul pastors one of the largest churches in America, and I sit behind a desk. Paul excelled. Well, I use Excel.

I'm not sure why others would downplay this post, it is straight Biblical truth, with no personal belief inserted. We can only go to heaven God's way. We can't go our own way, it has to be His way. I thought the above post was very encouraging and uplifting and thoughtfully posted. To tell ifishers Biblical how to go to heaven, and receive God's total and free and undeserved forgiveness of our sins and shortcomings shows nothing but the love of God.

Thank you cavscout, it uplifted me!
