Question: “If I were to die tonight, how would I know if I was going to heaven or hell?”
Answer: There is a prayer we can pray to receive an assurance of our our going to heaven. But it is not a matter of reciting words. It needs to be a heartfelt response to the love of God
for you through Jesus Christ or, his Hebrew name Yeshua Hamachiach. It is an expression of faith that Jesus is Lord and has died on the cross to pay the price for our sins. it is coming into a relationship with Him and a commitment to follow Him. The Bible tells us in .John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
It is not enough to live a good life. None of us are perfect or sinless (Romans 3:23). Because of our sin, we have earned judgment from God (Romans 6:23), and that judgment is physical death followed by spiritual death. Because of our sin and its deserved punishment, there is nothing we can do on our own to make ourselves right with God. As a result of His love for us, God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a perfect life. However, humanity rejected Jesus and put Him to death by crucifying Him. However, Jesus purposely laid down His life. He took the judgment of sin on Himself, and He died in our place and was then resurrected (1 Corinthians 15), proving that His payment for sin was sufficient and that He had overcome sin and death. As a result of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can choose to receive the gift of salvation from God.
If you want to be a follower of Jesus or Yeshua, we invite you to ask God to reveal Himself to you and pray the following prayer.
Prayer to Jesus for eternal life
“Dear Jesus, I ask forgiveness for my sins. Help me to change and live a new life as a follower of yours. Help me to have a close personal relationship with you, to read the Bible regularly and pray to you regularly. I want to serve you and commit my life to you. I invite you Jesus into my heart as Lord and Saviour. I pray for the help of your Holy Spirit to lead my new life. Connect me with others who love you and help me to become more like you day by day.”
