Am I Going To Heaven?

Am I going to heaven? - This is the most important question of all.
Jesus says, "Unless one is born anew, again, from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
Here, Jesus is speaking about the new birth, the second birth, the heavenly birth.
His words weren't spoken to the publican in the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. They weren't spoken to the woman caught in adultery. They weren't spoken to the thief on the cross. They were spoken to a "Pharisee, a ruler of the Jews" (John 3:1).
Nicodemus said to Jesus, "You are a teacher come from God" (John 3:2), but this didn't take him far enough. He still needed to hear the words, "You must be born again." He needed to be shown his need of the Saviour.
Jesus' statement concerning the new birth is His supreme message to the world. It's a message that runs counter to human pride.
The new birth is a divider of the human race. Either you are born again or you are not born again. Jesus tells us, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6).
Are you born again? If you can answer, "Yes" to this question, you can also answer "Yes" to the question, "Am I going to heaven?"
You may say, "I don't understand." We are not called upon to understand. We are called to believe (John 1:12).
The new birth comes when I believe and submit to His Word: "You must be born again."
The new birth comes when I believe in the love of God (John 3:16). God loves us. In love, He calls us to be born again.
God wants you to go heaven (John 3:17). Accept His way of salvation - faith in Jesus, His Son, faith in Jesus, our Saviour.

Let Us Pray For More Of God's Blessing.

What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).

God’s Blessing .

“The Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake” (Genesis 39:5). God’s blessing overflows. We go back to Genesis 39:2 – “the Lord was with Joseph.” God was blessing Joseph – and His blessing overflowed to others.

Reaching out with the Good News of Jesus Christ

‘Reconciled’ to God through Christ, we have received ‘the ministry of reconciliation.’ Saved by Him, we are to ‘work with Him.’ We are ‘not to accept the grace of God in vain’ by living for ourselves. We are to be ‘ambassadors for Christ.’ We must proclaim the urgent message of salvation - ‘now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation.’ We must call men and women to respond to God’s message of salvation: ‘Be reconciled to God’ (2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2). If we are to be effective ‘ambassadors for Christ’, we must dedicate our lives to Him: ‘Let us cleanse ourselves… and make holiness perfect in the fear of God’(2 Corinthians 7:1). Without this heartfelt commitment to godly living, we cannot really serve the Lord at all. Our wrong lives will drown out our ‘right’ words. We need true lives as well as ‘true’ words.
