Jesus Christ

We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness. "In Him [meaning Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins" --Ephesians 1:7a, NKJV.

Forgiveness is available. It is --

AVAILABLE FOR ALL

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" --John 3:16, NKJV.

BUT NOT AUTOMATIC

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven" -- Matthew 7:21a, NKJV.

It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.

GOD IS ---

LOVE

John 3:16, NKJV

JUST

"For judgment is without mercy" --James 2:13a, NKJV.

MAN IS SINFUL

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" --Romans 3:23, NKJV.

Question: But how can a sinful person enter heaven, where God allows no sin?

Question: If you were driving down the road and someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (change direction) Turn means repent.

TURN from something--sin and self

"But unless you repent you will all likewise perish" --Luke 13:3b, NKJV.

TURN to someone; trust Christ only

[The Bible tells us that] "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" --1 Corinthians 15:3b-4, NKJV.

"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" --Romans 10:9, NKJV.

Heaven is eternal life.

HERE

"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" -- John 10:10b, NKJV.

HEREAFTER

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" --John 14:3, NKJV.

HOW

How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?
