| What does it take for a person to go to
heaven?
There is a word that can be used to answer
this question.
|
| |
|
F-A-I-T-H |
| |
| F is for FORGIVENESS |
| You 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
|
| |
| A is for AVAILABLE |
| Forgiveness is available for everyone, but
it is not automatic. |
| "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 |
"Not everyone who says to me
"'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew
7:21a NKJV
|
| |
| I is for IMPOSSIBLE |
| It is impossible for God to allow sin into
heaven. |
| God is love (John 3:16 NKJV) and just
(James 2:13 NKJV). Man is sinful (Romans 3:23 NKJV) |
Question: How can a sinful person
enter heaven, where God allows no sin?
|
| |
| T is for TURN |
| Turn means repent–turn from sin. Turn to
Christ–and Christ only. |
| "But unless you repent you will all
likewise perish." Luke 13:3b NKJV |
| "Christ died for our sins according
to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again on the
third day according to the Scriptures." 1Corinthians 15:3b-4 NKJV |
| |
| H is for HEAVEN |
| Heaven is eternal life. |
| "I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10b NKJV |
"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 will be also." John 14:3 NKJV
