DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO HEAVEN?

One day Jesus was telling His disciples about the wonderful place called Heaven. It sure is wonderful! Jesus told them they knew where He was going and that they knew the way there. Thomas, one of His disciples, said they didn’t know where He was going and they didn’t know the way. Look at Jesus’ response:

John 14

4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The way to heaven is not through some religion or system of good works. The way to heaven is through a person and His finished work of redemption. Jesus Christ is the way to heaven!

The bad news is that we have all sinned against God and the punishment is eternal separation from Him in the Lake of Fire.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death…

Revelation 20:14

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

The good news is that God loves you and Jesus took the punishment for your sin on Himself when He died on the cross. The blood that He shed paid the price of your sin.

1 Corinthians 15

3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

God’s word says that anyone who believes this message, the gospel, will receive everlasting life.

This is why Jesus Christ is the way to heaven!

If you understand that you are a sinner, that you deserve to be punished for your sins, but that Jesus sacrificed Himself as your substitute, then right now you can turn to God and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved.

Acts 16:31

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…
