Jesus is the answer!

Are you sure you will go to heaven when you die? Would you like
to be sure?
Accept that you are a sinner. Recognize your need for forgiveness
(1 John 1:9)
"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)
Believe that Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice for your sins. (John
3:16)
Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Receive and put your trust in
Him alone for your salvation (John 1:12) "For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."(Romans 10:13)
You can pray right now, wherever you are something similar to this
and if you believe in your heart, you may know that you are forgiven
and have received eternal life:
"Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute
when he died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial,
and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Saviour. Come
into my life as my Lord and Savior. I thank you for the forgiveness
of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because
of the merciful grace. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In Your name
I pray, Amen"

Four things that we'd like for you to know
as a new believer in Jesus Christ.
1. You Have Eternal Life
Eternal life is a gift from God; it's not something you can earn through
works, rituals or sacrifice, it is a free gift. It's also something that
you have here and now, not just when you die. In the Gospel of John, Jesus
says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life"
(NKJV-emphasis added). God sent His Son as a perfect sacrifice for our
sins, to pay the debt for our sin against a holy and righteous God. His
acceptance of that sacrifice (signified by the resurrection of Jesus Christ)
and your acceptance of this gift is what makes reconciliation possible.
2. You Are a New Creation
As a believer, you have a new nature in you that seeks to follow the will
of God. Your old self is still around, but you have been empowered by
the Holy Spirit of God, to follow that new nature more and more as you
learn to trust in God more and more. (2 Corinthians 5:17).
3. You Have Received Forgiveness of All Your Sins
Everything in your life will not be perfect overnight. The reality is
that you still have a choice. God will not subvert your will or force
you to choose His ways all the time. When we do sin, however, we have
"an advocate with the Father" who will always say, "Yes,
this person has sinned against you, but I have paid the price for him"
(1 John 1:8-9) It is important that we confess our sins to God so that
we may receive forgiveness and allow Him to cleanse our hearts.
4. You Are a Child of God
By accepting Christ into our lives, by receiving Him, we become adopted
as God's children. A child, by nature desires to do the will of his father.
The father desire is to raise that child. protect the child from harm
and do everything to ensure that the child will be able to live and grow
to maturity. Our heavenly Father, who knows the beginning from the end
can guide our lives in a more perfect way than any of our earthly fathers'
ever could. John 1:12 tells us that, "[But] as many as received them,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe
in His name" (NKJV). Only those who are trusting in Jesus Christ
alone and His sacrifice for our sins alone are God's children. Without
that, there can be no relationship with the Father.
