ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN?

There are some things that you should know:

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:

Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin.

2. Because of our sins, we die both spiritually and physically, but God sent His Son to die so that you can have a chance not to have to go to hell by accepting what He did on the cross for you:

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

Ro 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. for us."

Every person who has ever lived is a sinner and is not righteous because we do bad things. A sin is a crime against God, just as if you steal something at the store, it is punishable by going to jail. It's the same thing with sin. Even if we lie one time, the punishment is hell, which is a prison for those who commit crimes against God. No matter how well you live your life from then on, you have already committed a sin which will be punished if you are not pardoned. If you commit a crime, and then live as a good citizen you still will go to jail for the crime you committed. Right? Just as the president can pardon a crime so you won't go to jail, Jesus can pardon your sins so that you do not go to hell, and can go to heaven when you die.

3. If you will confess to Jesus Christ that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior, accept Him as Lord and Savior and believe in your heart that He died on the cross and rose from the dead you will be saved.

Ro 10:9,10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.."

Joh 1:12 Joh 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”

You cannot get to heaven by being a good person, going to church, baptism or any other way other than by turning to Jesus and asking Him to forgive you for your sins and save you. While these are good things to do, some people believe that they will get to heaven if they do these things, but the bible says that there is only one way to heaven and that is through receiving what Jesus Christ did on the cross for you.

Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die.

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins? Are you willing to turn from your sins to Jesus Christ for Salvation?

4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please pray this prayer to God from your heart:

"Dear LORD JESUS, I believe that YOU died on the Cross and Rose from the dead for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me for my sins, take me to heaven when I die. I now receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus holy name, Amen."

If you prayed that prayer from your heart to God, and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.

Now that you are on your way to heaven, you should attend a bible believing church and follow in baptism.

Do You Believe and place your faith in Jesus Christ that He died on the cross and rose from the dead for your sins?


Voted no.

I'll answer your points too since it explains my vote.

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:


Yes I realize you view me as a sinner based on your christian beliefs. This does not concern me since I don't see the validity of those beliefs in the first place.

Yes god came down in human form to die a brutal death on the cross as a human sacrifice to forgive our sins. Why on earth he chose to do that backwards method when he could easily forgive our sins when we die is beyond me. But hey i'm just a human.

I acknowledge that a man named Jesus lived and died on the cross. I don't see a legitimate reason to believe he was divine and rose from the dead though.

4. If you are willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior please pray this prayer to God from your heart:


If I see some compelling evidence that leads me to believe Jesus was in fact divine and God did in fact exist I would do that. Unless of course it turns it's not the christian god who exists.

If god does exist then I'm already a child of God. And that god who would be my father (or mother) would punish me for eternity for simply doubting his existence. Now that seems like a pretty insecure god to punish someone for that. I mean I wouldn't throw my child in the basement forever just because they doubted I existed. But again i'm just a human so god would have superior logic I suppose.

Did all that the first 24 years of my life. If your post is correct then i'm on the fast track to hell.

I prefer to pay my own penalties. I wouldn't be evil enough to have a man who didn't do anything take the lashes for me.

You've never stared death in the face have you? If your heart is hard do you need to survive a horrific plane crash to change your outlook on life?

Do you need to stare down the barrel of a gun to realize how vulnerable you are and how serious this really is? What you do here on Earth will determine your hereafter. I do not know when I'm going to die but isn't it better to be prepared?

If you knew that a thief was going to rob your home at a certain time and date wouldn't you be there ready and waiting for him? As it turns out nobody knows the day or hour.

If you don't know the day or hour, why would you wait and risk eternity?

have you stared into the face of death?
if no, then why do you believe :)

you should not judge people based on your narrow view of life
sincerely hope that you finally find a girlfriend so that you can focus on something else than trying to instill fear into others

You're risking eternity too since you could be worshipping the wrong god. There's no "true" religion since there's no proof any religion is correct.
