Am I going to heaven?

There are perhaps more than 2 responses to this question.

There are those who don't think that they are going to heaven. Amongst these are they that might think that there's no way that they could ever expect to be in heaven. They may be heavily burdened by a life of sin; they may feel that their sins are great and inexcusable and there's no way God could admit them to heaven. If any of my readers fall into this category, then I'm delighted that you've arrived at this site. Your sins may indeed be great and there is certainly no way that you could ever fit yourself for God's presence but please allow me to direct you to the section on Salvation with the blessed assurance that there is a Saviour, mighty to save to the uttermost, all who come unto Him.



"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 7:25)

"Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) 

Then there are those who think that they are going to heaven. They perhaps think that they will be able to get into heaven on their own merits or good works. It would be a grave error to suggest that the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's well-beloved son, was unnecessary.

"But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." (Isaiah 64:6) 

"For by grace are ye 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) 

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" (Titus 3:5)

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." (Galations 2:16)

Finally, thank God, there are those who know that they are going to be in heaven at the end of life's journey. They have a confidence, not in themselves, God forbid! but they have a confidence in their Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of faith. Only the Lord Jesus Christ could atone for sin because He is Holy, spotless, undefiled and separate from sinners.

"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." (2 Timothy 1:12)

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life," (1 John 5:13)
