The Bible tells us that those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their
personal Savior will not be able to enter Heaven because of their sin of
not receiving the forgiveness that God promised by sending Jesus to died on
the Cross and paid our sin debt.
The Apostle Paul wrote the letter to the Romans in which he gave a road map
of how any individual can get to Heaven.
He stated in Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no,
not one:"
The Old Testament Prophet, Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as
an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do
fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away"
So the Bible tells us that our own righteousness can not get us to
Heaven.
Paul continues in Romans 3:23; "For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God;"
But God offers a payment which is in the form of the gift.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
So we see that what we earn as wages is sin that brings death (eternal
separation from God) but God will give us the gift of eternal life, not eternal
death.
Paul goes on to tell us that the Gift that God provides is the atoning
sacrifice of Jesus taking our place on the Cross and becoming our sacrifice.
Jesus took our penalty!
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth (proved) His love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
So if He did this, the question may be asked; Would God accept me?
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
So how does any individual receive eternal life? Romans 10:9 "That if
thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and believe in thine heart that god has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
So according to the Bible (not trusting in a church, not be born in a
Christian nation, not doing the best that I can) that the only way to be
saved is to trust Jesus Christ and Him only.
HAVE YOU TRUSTED HIM? IF NOT WOULD YOU TRUST HIM
NOW??
