 | Step of Faith |

In your personal opinion...What do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? Consider how the Bible answers this question. It is a matter of FAITH...
F is for FORGIVENESS
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness. "In Him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses" Ephesians 1:7
A is for AVAILABLE
- Forgiveness Is Available for All; "For God so loved the world in this way; He gave His only son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" ( John 3:16)
- Forgiveness Is Available, But Not Automatic: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 7:21)
I is for Impossible
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.
- Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgment is against sin; "for judgment is without mercy to the one who hasn't shown mercy" (James 2:13)
- Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?
T is for TURN
Turn means repent.
- Turn from something - sin and self: "But unless you repent, you will all perish as well" (Luke 13:3)
- Turn to Someone - trust Christ only: "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9)
H is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life.
- Here..."I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance" (John 10:10)
- Hereafter..."If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also" (John 14:3)
- How...can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness.
Take this step of faith: Forsaking All I Trust Him.
