The 5 Steps to Heaven

1. Step one is to acknowledge that you are a sinner.

   • " As it is written there is none righteous, no not one." Romans 3:10 "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
2. Step two is to realize that there is a penalty for your sin.

   • "For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23a
   • the word "death" means seperation. The death referred here means eternal seperation from God into the lake of fire as stated in Revelation 21:8.
   • "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderes, and whoremongers, and the sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
3. Step three is to ackowledge that Christ paid the penalty of sin for you.

   • "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
4. Step four is to acknowledge that Christ wants to give you the free gift of eternal life in heavan.

   • "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23b
5. Step five is that you must believe in Christ and as Him to be your Savior.

   • "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." Romans 10:9
   • "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10
   • "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Dear Friend,

As you think on these truths, will you right now confess your sin to God and trust Christ to be your Savior? Then attend a good Bible-believing church, publicly confess Christ as your Savior, and follow Him in believer's baptism?

"For the Scriptures saith, Whosoever believeth in Him shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:11
