Trusting Jesus is the only way to heaven.
All of the people who trust Jesus will go to heaven when they die. God sent His Son Jesus to earth 2,000 years ago in Bible times. Jesus was the only perfect man because He was also God. So, He didn't deserve death, which is the punishment for sin. Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment we deserve for our sins (bad things we do). After 3 days, God made Jesus alive again and later took Him to heaven. The only way to heaven is trusting Jesus.
To trust Jesus, stop going your own way. Even the good things you try to do cannot get you to God's perfect heaven. Turn from your sin and trust Jesus' perfect life, death on the cross, and resurrection from the dead. Follow Jesus by obeying His Bible.
If God has saved us from our sin, we don't have to be afraid to die. We will go straight to heaven, the moment we die, to be with God. Your friends and family will only get to heaven if they believe Jesus. You can tell them about what Jesus did on the cross to pay the punishment for sin. Jesus is the only way to heaven!
Bible Truth
- "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6).
- "But our homeland is in heaven, and we are waiting for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. By his power to rule all things, he will change our humble bodies and make them like his own glorious body" (Phil. 3:20-21, NCV).
- "Christ . . . . went into heaven itself and is there now before God to help us. . . . But Christ came only once and for all time at just the right time to take away all sin by sacrificing himself. Just as everyone must die once and then be judged, so Christ was offered as a sacrifice one time to take away the sins of many people. And he will come a second time, not to offer himself for sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him" (Hebrews 9:24, 26b-28, NCV).
