Salvation

What can you do to make sure you have eternal life in Heaven? The Bible is very clear in this matter. Rhiannon followed these steps, won't you?

There are 4 Vital Steps for Eternal Life in Heaven:

1. HEAR THE WORD (Romans 3:21-24) But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

2. BELIEVE AND CONFESS THE WORD (Romans 10:8-10) But what does it say? "The Word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you will believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. (Paul was talking to the people in Rome who had already been baptized.)

3. REPENT OF YOUR SINS (Luke 13:1-5) Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them - do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

4. BE BAPTIZED (Acts 2:36-38) Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
   When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
   Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call."
