How to go to Heaven according to the Bible?

It gives the answer to that question plainly, in many places in Scripture. The most commonly cited one is John 3:16- "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes and trusts in Him will not die, but have eternal life." Love God, turn away from your sins, be willing to accept the free gift of salvation through Christ, and that's all it takes. God hands out free tickets to Heaven to anybody who asks for one, no matter what you've done in the past or how wicked you might have been. None of that matters, because God can and will wash it all away. All you have to do is ask Him. That's how much He loves you.

Well, the Bible does have the line "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also" (John 14:6), so presumably a personal relationship with Jesus is required.

Interpretation is required here. What does it mean to "know" Jesus? Jesus was spirit made flesh... maybe he is saying that we must all realize the divinity within ourselves, as human beings, in order to see the divine.

A more literal interpretation might require one to believe that Jesus must be accepted as the Son of God in a more direct way, and that only by accepting Jesus as God and the one who died for our sins can we find Heaven.

At some point, you have to decide how much of the Bible you believe. Has it been tainted, or is it entirely the work of God through mortal hands? I can't tell you that. I can tell you that I find many great truths in that sacred text, but that I don't find all them through literal readings. :)

I think the bible says you must confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The bible is a conflicting book as far as I'm concerned. What do you feel in your heart? Personally, I feel that God is LOVE. Pure and simple. And with that belief, why would God keep anyone from Heaven? He wouldn't. Heaven, as far as I'm concerned, is for EVERY soul. There is NO hell for people or souls. We all eventually go to Heaven. Whenever our lessons are learned. That's what I feel in my heart.

properly, the Bible does have the line "i'm the way, and the fact, and the existence. no person includes the daddy different than by using me. in case you be attentive to me, you would be attentive to my Father additionally" (John 14:6), so possibly a private courting with Jesus is needed. Interpretation is needed right here. What does it advise to "be attentive to" Jesus? Jesus replace into spirit made flesh... possibly he's asserting that we ought to all understand the divinity interior ourselves, as human beings, as a manner to work out the divine. A greater literal interpretation might require one to believe that Jesus must be typical via fact the Son of God in a greater direct way, and that basically by using accepting Jesus as God and the guy who died for our sins can we detect Heaven. in some unspecified time contained sooner or later, you should head with how various the Bible you suspect. Has it been tainted, or is it completely the artwork of God by using mortal arms? i'm unable to permit you be attentive to that. i will permit you be attentive to that i stumble on many great truths in that sacred textual content fabric, yet that i don't locate all them by using literal readings. :)

it says no liar shall enter the kingdom of heave I guess we are all done for according to the bible!

A gift of grace by God Himself.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Exod 33:19

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Exod 9:16

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Here are the steps to get into heaven. It's quite easy.

The Council of Trent describes the process of salvation from sin in the case of an adult with great minuteness (Sess. VI, v-vi).

It begins with the grace of God which touches a sinner's heart, and calls him to repentance. This grace cannot be merited; it proceeds solely from the love and mercy of God. Man may receive or reject this inspiration of God, he may turn to God or remain in sin. Grace does not constrain man's free will.

Thus assisted the sinner is disposed for salvation from sin; he believes in the revelation and promises of God, he fears God's justice, hopes in his mercy, trusts that God will be merciful to him for Christ's sake, begins to love God as the source of all justice, hates and detests his sins.

This disposition is followed by justification itself, which consists not in the mere remission of sins, but in the sanctification and renewal of the inner man by the voluntary reception of God's grace and gifts, whence a man becomes just instead of unjust, a friend instead of a foe and so an heir according to hope of eternal life. This change happens either by reason of a perfect act of charity elicited by a well disposed sinner or by virtue of the Sacrament either of Baptism or of Penance according to the condition of the respective subject laden with sin. The Council further indicates the causes of this change. By the merit of the Most Holy Passion through the Holy Spirit, the charity of God is shed abroad in the hearts of those who are justified.

Against the heretical tenets of various times and sects we must hold

* that the initial grace is truly gratuitous and supernatural;

* that the human will remains free under the influence of this grace;

* that man really cooperates in his personal salvation from sin;

* that by justification man is really made just, and not merely declared or reputed so;

* that justification and sanctification are only two aspects of the same thing, and not ontologically and chronologically distinct realities;

* that justification excludes all mortal sin from the soul, so that the just man is no way liable to the sentence of death at God's judgment-seat.

Other points involved in the foregoing process of personal salvation from sin are matters of discussion among Catholic theologians; such are, for instance,

* the precise nature of initial grace,

* the manner in which grace and free will work together,

* the precise nature of the fear and the love disposing the sinner for justification,

* the manner in which sacraments cause sanctifying grace.

But these questions are treated in other articles dealing ex professo with the respective subjects. The same is true of final perseverance without which personal salvation from sin is not permanently secured.

What has been said applies to the salvation of adults; children and those permanently deprived of their use of reason are saved by the Sacrament of Baptism.

I LIKE the verse john 3:16 that tells it all really.

John 14:6 ..." I am the way, the truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

How can what the Bible says be a matter of opinion? Either it tells you or it doesn't.
