Question description

I have heard a lot of people saying do this or that we get you to heaven. But I keep wondering, what if I do all of the things mentioned and am still unable to make it to heaven? I guess what I am asking is how can I be sure I will make it to heaven talk less of being with the Father God

Answer description

The Bible the Word of God tells us that you may go to heaven by having a personal relationship with God. When you believe the Lord Jesus as your personal Saviour you are given the right to be a child of God (John 1:12). You are further assured in Galatians 4:6-7, "And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s child. And since you are His child, God has made you His heir. "

How can you know you are a child of God? Romans 10:9-10 instructs us: "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved."

When you have this personal relationship with God your Creator you will be assured to enter into heaven and spend your eternity with God. In John 17:3 Jesus explained: “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
