The Bible says there is one way to Heaven. Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6) This one way is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and follow God's plans for our life which are laid out&nbsp;

"For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Admit that you are a sinner and that you need God's help.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)</li>

<li>"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)</li>

<li>"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)</li>
</ul>

Be willing to change your mind and turn from your sin (repent).

<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)</li>
</ol>

Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)</li>

<li>"But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)</li>

<li>"If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)</li>
</ul>

Through prayer, invite Jesus into your heart to become your personal Lord and Savior.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"For with the heart (core being) man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)</li>

<li>"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)</li>
</ul>

Pray:

Dear God, I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to change and turn from my sin. I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior.

"But as many as received him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:" (John 1:12)

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" [new life begins]. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Talk to God in prayer every day.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22)</li>

<li>"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6)</li>

<li>"However, they did not all heed the good news; for [the prophet] Isaiah says, 'LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?' 17 [Even] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)</li>
</ul>

Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority on everything.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19)</li>

<li>"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)</li>

<li>"All [Holy] scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)</li>
</ul>
