I 4 One Another

We asked everyone to draw us a road map to their house:


But the only road map to heaven is Jesus!

Road Map To Heaven
To make sure you arrive at your desired destination you need a map.
I am sure you desire to go to Heaven when you leave this earth, so here are the directions so you can know the way to get there.

First, realize that you will not get to Heaven by trying to be good enough.
ROMANS 3:23 NKJ23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
GALATIANS 2:16 TEV16 . . . For no man is put right with God by doing what the Law requires.
Second, the only way you can get to Heaven, is through Jesus Christ.
JOHN 14:5-6 CEV5 . . . How can we know the way?6 I am the way, the truth, and the life! Jesus answered. Without me, no one can go to the Father.
GALATIANS 2:16 TEV16 Yet we know that a man is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, never by doing what the Law requires. . .
ROMANS 6:23 NKJ23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
ROMANS 5:8 CEV8 But God showed how much he loved us, by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful.
ROMANS 3:25 CEV25 God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life's blood, so that by faith in him we could come to God . . .

Third, no matter who you are, or what you have done, you can receive God's gift of eternal life by receiving Jesus Christ now.
JOHN 1:12 NKJ12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name:
ROMANS 10:9 NKJ9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
JOHN 6:37 NJB37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me; I will certainly not reject anyone who comes to me,
JOHN 3:16 NRSV16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

Fourth, all whose Lord is Jesus Christ will immediately go to be with Him in Heaven when they leave their earthly body at death.
JOHN 14:3 NKJ3 And if I go and prepare a place for I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
PHILIPPIANS 1:21,23 CEV21 If I live, it will be for Christ, and if I die, I will gain even more.23 It is a hard choice to make. I want to die and be with Christ, because that would be much better.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:8 NKJ8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
