Modern “religious gurus” would have you believe that basically everyone will get to heaven in a variety of different ways. But, this does not agree with what God said in Matthew 7:13-14, Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in there: But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. The truth is that there is only one way of salvation, and that is God's way. We cannot help but echo the words of the Apostle Peter when he said, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life (John 6:68).

The following is God's truth explained by God's Word. It is your only hope of eternal salvation.

God’s Purpose: Honor and Serve Him

God created man to honor, serve, and fellowship with him. The Bible says… Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created (Rev 4:11).

Mankind’s Problem: Sin

But… Man chose to sin against God rather than serve Him. The Bible says… For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23);

 Sin’s Penalty: Death

The Bible says… For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 6:23). And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Heb 9:27).

 Then how can we ever have eternal life?

Throughout history individuals have tried many thing to gain or earn eternal life (Good works, Religion, Money, Morality), but every attempt has been unsuccessful. The Bible says… Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us (Titus 3:5a).

 Christ’s Payment: Our Sinless Substitute

Jesus Christ, God’s sinless Son, was sent by the Father to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross in our place. The Bible says… But God demonstrated his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8).

 Our Pardon: Turn and Trust

How do we receive eternal life? We must receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Jesus himself said… I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

In order to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you must turn from your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ alone as the only hope of eternal life. The Bible says, Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out… Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 3:19a; Acts 16:31a).

 God’s Promise: Eternal Life

Jesus Christ said… He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life (John 5:24).

This verse has one promise with three parts. The person who believes: Has eternal life...Does not come into judgment...Has passed out of death into life.

 Will you receive Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior today?

Admit that you have sinned against God and ask Him for forgiveness.

Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God Who died for you on the cross, rose from the dead, and is Lord.

Call upon Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior.
