Make it to Heaven: be baptized, have faith in Him, Jesus is the only way to the Father, repent for you sins.
"This chapter will clearly explain how to get saved, or as
some call it ‘born again’. What it means is you will no longer he separated from
God by sin, but you become a part of His family by accepting Jesus as your
Savior and, therefore will go to Heaven when you die. There is scripture which
explains it all. John 3:16, 17; “For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not His son into the world that it might be
condemned, but that the world through Him might be saved.” It is that simple and
it is a free gift. You must confess your sins and receive Him by faith. Jesus is
the only way to the Father. Don’t wait until you ‘clean up’ your life, He will
take you just as you are: then He will change you from the inside, out!
Once you have repented of your sins, you become a new
individual and the ‘old’ you passes away. This means your heart has been changed
and now desires the things of God and not the wicked things they once did. In
order for you to grow spiritually, you must begin to read the word of God. It
also helps to develop relationships with those who have known God for some time
and can help you pursue a strong Christian walk. If you get connected with a
local ministry, they can offer practical guidance and counsel to help you find
your destiny and purpose God made you for.
The next step is to be baptized in water, which is an outward
sign of the inward change that has taken place in your life. It signifies that
we have ‘died’ with Christ and now resurrected, have become a new person. Most
local churches hold baptismal services on a regular basis and would be glad to
welcome you into the family of God by baptizing you. The first church, as
explained in the book of Acts, baptized all new converts.
Then, you should allow the Holy Spirit to take control of
your life by seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in
tongues. This empowers you as it did the apostles in the book of Acts. I would
advise reading the entire book to see what a difference this made in their
lives. You become more sensitive to hear the inner voice of God speaking to you.
The Holy Spirit was sent to be a guide and a comforter; He is not something to
be frightened of or to avoid, as taught by some denominations. When the great
outpouring mentioned in the Foreword of this book takes place, many will
simultaneously be filled with the Holy Spirit and the results will be
miraculous!
Everyone who professes to be a follower of Christ should
represent His character. He came because He loved all people and therefore, we
should do the same. We cannot love the ‘sin’ people fall into, but we can ‘love’
them to Christ. Read the book of Galatians to learn how brothers and sisters in
Christ should treat each other. We should all strive to have a good report
recorded in Heaven."
