How are you going to get to heaven?
Most people know one answer to this
question. They say, "I'm going to heaven because
I'm a good person." This answer is correct. If
you are a good person you will go to heaven.
But,
based on the standard God will use on judgment day,
are you truly a
good person?
The truth is revealed in the Bible.
For example, Isaiah says that all your righteous deeds
(the best you can do) are like filthy rags to God.
Romans 3:23
- "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God."
The problem is that none of us are
good. We all have broken God's laws and we must pay
the penalty. "The wages
of sin is death." - Romans 6:23
So how does anyone get to heaven?
How can you go to heaven?
Here's the Answer: recognize you've
broken God's laws, repent* and trust that Jesus Christ
has already paid the penalty you owe for breaking God's
laws. It's a free gift from God. He paid you penalty
so you will live forever.
"He saved us, not on the basis
of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according
to His mercy..." - Titus 3:5
*Repent means to change direction,
to turn away from disobeying God, and desire to live
your life so as to be obeying God.
"Lord
I know you must be coming soon and I'll stand before
this world and shout it's true. I can't stop loving
you no matter what they say." - Glenn Kaiser

What is the gospel?
You are a lawbreaker. Jesus died to pay your penalty
and rose from the dead showing us that we also can have eternal
life.

a Muslim, Baptist, Catholic or an atheist. It doesn't matter. God
wants to change you and make you a new person, whoever you are and
wherever you are. His plan involves Jesus
Christ, and the incredible free gift He has given to every person

If a friend knew something that would save your life, would you
want them to tell you about it?
That's what this web site is all about. The Gospel
message is the "something" that will save your life.
The Gospel message is simple: you have disobeyed God; as a result
you are under the death penalty; but Jesus has died in your place;
turn away from disobeying God (sinning) and trust
Jesus to give you eternal life.
If as you read this web site you desire to turn
toward God and trust Jesus for your salvation, that means God has
already given you His saving grace. You will be in heaven with God
for eternity. Nothing can ever take your salvation away from you.
Nothing can ever separate you from God. We invite you to tell
Him how you feel about that.
Ten
Steps For New & Growing Christians
"For I am convinced
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
- Romans 8:38-39

You are important to God.
He very much wants you to be with Him. Every day... every
minute... every second God is giving you a second
chance--for the millionth time--to choose Him and trust
Jesus. "He is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
- 2 Peter 3:9b
But, you may not live another day.
You don't know when your time will come, but when it does
the second chances end... your decision is final and accepted
by God. If you choose Jesus
you will live with Him forever--having eternal life. If you
choose to turn away from God, that's what you'll have for
eternity... eternal separation from God. It's called hell.
