The Bible has the real answer to this question. It is a matter of FAITH.
F stands for FORGIVENESS. We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.“In whom we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins...” Ephesians 1:7a
A is for AVAILABLE.Forgiveness is available for all. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
I is for IMPOSSIBLE.It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven because of who He is and because of who we are. God is loving
and just, but His judgement is against sin. We are sinful people. Romans 3:23 tells us.“For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God”
T is for TURN.Turn means repent - or turn - from our sin and from ourself. “...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke
13:3b. We can also turn to Someone. Trust Christ only.
H is for HEAVEN.Heaven is eternal life. Here, that means life “to the full”. “...I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10b. In the hereafter, it means a promise of heaven.
So how can a person have God’s forgiveness, heaven and eternal life and Jesus as personal Lord and Savior?
By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. You do this through a simple prayer reflecting your desire for Christ to change
your life. You don’t need fancy words, only an honest heart. Your prayer could be something like this: Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner
and have displeased you in many ways. I believe you died for my sin, and only through faith in your death and resurrection can I be
forgiven. I want to turn from my sin and ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. From this day on, I will follow you by
living my life with you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus for saving me. Amen!
