If You Died Right Now...Would You Go To Heaven?

Hello. Welcome to my blog. This blog is meant with love, and with thought for those that read it. I cannot promise it will not offend...but the Word of God sometimes offends those in sin.

So there is my disclaimer, now for what I wish to say. Let me start with this question--

If you were to die this very second, where would you go?

I'll wait for you to think about it...okay, do you have an answer? What did you come up with? Did you say heaven? Do you not know? Did you say you never thought about it? Do you wish the blogger would take a hike? Okay, hopefully you didn't say the last one. But it was meant to be a serious question.

So perhaps you said you didn't know or you had never thought about it...if you said one of those, I'd like to talk about it and in about a minute I can help you know that you are going to heaven.

1)

All have sinned, and none of us is able to measure up to God's glory,

Romans 3:23

If you are completely honest with yourself, we can all come up with one thing that we've done wrong. Not that hard to think of something is it? Nope, that's because we're all sinners, and it takes just one sin to make us a full blown sinner in God's eyes.

Oh, wait, there's a hand in the back...Umm, what's that? You say you've never sinned? There's one in every group...okay, I'll prove it to you that you have even if you didn't realize it.

2) Romans 5:12 says

Thru one man, sin entered into the world, and death as a result of the sin: and so death has passed to all men, for all have sinned.

See, back in the day, Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit...and thus began to die physically. That's why all of us die, because of sin. You don't know anybody that's like a million years old do you? No, I didn't think so. So you see, we're all sinners

Oh, wait, I see another hand up. Yes? You want to know why it matters? Well, here's why--

3) Romans 6:23a

The penalty for sin is death...

Yes, we just went over that...and if that were the end of the story, we'd all be in big trouble! You see, God could of just let us die in our sin and have been done with us...but, there is another half to this verse,

4) Romans 6:23b

...but the GIFT of GOD is eternal life, through JESUS CHRIST our Lord.

Yep, that's right, we don't have to die in our sin, the Bible says that God will give us eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ.

Oh, wait, another question from the back. You want to know why God would give us this opportunity? Here's why--

5) John 3:16

God loved the world SOOOO much, that he sent his only son to die for us, that whomever believes in him will not die but will have eternal life in heaven.

You see there is only one way to get into heaven, and that's through Jesus, whom God sent to the world to die for our sins as the verse shows. God says that one way is this--

6) Romans 10:13

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord (that's Jesus) shall be saved.

Call upon the name of the lord? That means simply this--

1) You believe that you are a sinner (which we already pointed out above),
2) Do you believe that Jesus is the son of God (again, see above if you forgot),
3) If you are sorry for you sins, and will ask God to forgive you (and that means truly being sorry), God will forgive you. And then YOU (yep, you) can go to HEAVEN.

Pretty simple. I laid it out all right there. Verse by verse. If you would like to ask for forgiveness, try this simple pray if you really mean it:

God, I know I am a sinner, please forgive me and save my soul. I want make you my personal Savior & Lord. Thank you. Amen.

If you prayed that and meant it, congratulations, you are now qualified for Heaven!

If you didn't and have questions, please contact me, and I'll try to clear up anything you might not understand...but what the Bible says is true. You can email me at memoon@spartans.manchester.edu


My goal for this blog is to become a mini devotional/outreach tool that I will update a couple times a week. Thank you!
