The Bible way to heaven

1. Realize that you are a sinner.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”— Romans 3:23

No one is perfect. We’ve all broken God’s law in one way or another, and our sin separates us from God.

2. Understand the penalty for sin.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

The payment for sin is spiritual death—eternal separation from God in Hell. But God offers the free gift of eternal life through His Son.

3. Believe that Jesus died for your sins.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

— Romans 5:8

Jesus willingly took your place and paid for your sins on the cross with His shed blood.

4. Call on Jesus by faith.

“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.”— Romans 10:9

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”— Romans 10:13

Salvation is not earned through good works or religion—it is received by faith in what Jesus has already done.

5. Trust Jesus as your Savior today.

If you believe Jesus died and rose again to save you, you can pray in faith and trust Him right now. 

A prayer like this can help express your heart:

“Dear Jesus, I know I’m a sinner and I deserve the penalty for my sin. But I believe You died for me and rose again. I’m trusting You alone to save me. Please forgive me, come into my life, and make me Yours. Amen.”
