    There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

    Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"

    He said in reply, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."

    He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live."

    If God were to ask me why I think I sohould enter heaven, i would say "I know that I have not loved you nor my fellow man as best as I could, but please have mercy on me."

    I believe that Jesus is Your Son and that He died for me.

    I repented of my past sins and turned my life around to follow Jesus.

    I often confess that Jesus is the Christ, Your own Son.

    I was baptized, calling on the name of the Lord, to enter into the kingdom where all spiritual blessings are found.

    I studied and prayed as I continued in life. I lived according to the instructions left for me and when I failed, I cried to You to forgive my sins, knowing You are faithful and just. I could not make it alone, but I had Your help to reassure me.

    Therefore, to answer the first question, I am saved as long as I do not fall away. According to Galatians 5: I can fall if I turn from the Way.

    I feel the assurance of salvation because of my Faith and trust in God, Christ, Mary, and the angels and saints... Of course, that does not mean I should stop trying to be a good person. We should never stop trying to lead good lives, despite the promise of salvation. I don't doubt salvation in itself either, because God is Divine - loving us more than most of us may ever fully realize until death and reaching our heavenly home.

    I am sure of my salvation. I have asked Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior and my name is written in The Lamb's Book of Life.

    I have already answered that question by giving my life over to Jesus.

    That is not our concern. We follow God in our lives the best we can and leave the rest to him. If God asks me that I will say that my assurance is in him and Jesus not in my own merits for salvation.

    I dont deserve to get to heaven and i never will deserve it.

    The only way you can get to heaven is by believing that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Saviour and that He died on the cross as the penalty for your sins.

    I am absolutely certain that I am going to heaven when I die. I do not have a shadow of a doubt about it.

    It is by the grace of God that I am going to heaven. It is because Jesus loved me and gave Himself for me ( and the whole world).

    Heaven or Hell is here and now. We create either by our choices and our behavior every day. We are Children of God already, from the moment we were born, and will be into the next phase of life. God is about compassion and freedom of choice, and the love is not conditional, but unconditional.

    1 John 5 says that we should have 100% assurance of salvation. If you don't have assurance, read 1 John 5.

    i am 100% sure!

    Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

    Eph 1:14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

    While still leaving nobody could assure his salvation if you are not a member of a true religion and if you are not a true christian.
