Heb
9:27 And as it is appointed unto
men once to die, but after this
the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
The
Bible says there are four things a person must know to go to heaven.
1. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
2. Rom 6:23a For the wages of sin is death;
3. Rom 6:23b …but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
4. Rev 3:20 Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.
The
Bible explains our salvation transaction.
Rom
10:8 But what saith it? The word
is nigh thee, even in thy
mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Rom
10:9 That if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom
10:10 For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
Rom
10:11 For the scripture saith,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The
Bible gives assurance of eternal life.
1
John 5:11 And this is the record,
that God hath given to us eternal life, and
this life is in his Son.
1
John 5:12 He that hath the Son
hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God hath not life.
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.
After
salvation what’s next?
Regularly
attend a Bible believing Church and request baptism, which is an act of
obedience as a new follower of Jesus Christ.
The
record of Jesus baptism defines the purpose.
Mat
3:13 Then cometh Jesus from
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat
3:14 But John forbad him, saying,
I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat
3:15 And Jesus answering said
unto him, Suffer it to be so now:
for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Mat
3:16 And Jesus, when he was
baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were
opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and
lighting upon him:
Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jesus
said this was an act of obedience for all who seek to fulfill all
righteousness. It was so important to Him that he walked approximately 62
miles to be baptized of John the Baptist. From Galilee to near Jericho on the
River Jordan. This has been the
normal practice of all new believers beginning in first century and until our
present time.
Acts
2:41 Then they that gladly
received his word were baptized:
