Click Here The Road to Heaven Day 279 Do you know how to get to heaven? The Bible clearly states there is only one way to get to heaven: "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6). A person cannot enter heaven through good deeds and moral behavior. You cannot enter heaven by attending church or by having Christian parents: "This [is] not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Eternal life is a free gift from God, but it is only given to those people who believe in and surrender control of their lives to Jesus. "He who believes in the Son [Jesus] has eternal life" (John 3:36 NASB). Lord, I want to make sure that I'm going to heaven. And I want to live each day with the knowledge of my eternal destination. Thank you, God. Amen. Through a Season of Grief The daily email messages you are receiving are also available in a book format. Purchase as a gift for a friend or buy a print copy for yourself.
