Are you 100% sure you will go to heaven when you die or do you have doubts about it? Below are five scriptural steps to knowing you are on your way to heaven.
Step One – Acknowledge that you have sinned. 
Romans 3:10, “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.”
Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
 
Step Two – Realize that there is a penalty for your sin.
Romans 6:23a, “For the wages of sin is death.”

The word death means separation. The death referred to here means eternal separation from God in the lake of fire as stated in Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
 
Step Three – Know that Christ paid the penalty for you.
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
   
Step Four – Accept that Christ wants to give you the free gift of eternal life in heaven.
Romans 6:23b, “But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
   

                     

Step Five – Believe in Christ and ask Him to be your Savior.
Romans 10:9-10, “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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

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

 

As you think on these truths, will you right now ask Christ to come into your heart and life? Then, attend a good fundamental, Bible-believing church, publicly confess Christ as your Savior, and follow Him in believer’s baptism. For the Scripture saith, “Whosoever believeth in Him shall not be ashamed.” (Romans 10:11)
