If you would like to find hope in Jesus, it is as easy as FAITH.

F is for Forgiveness
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.
In Him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. - Ephesians 1:7a, NKJV

A is for Available
Forgiveness is AVAILABLE for ALL.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  - John 3:16, NKJ

BUT NOT AUTOMATIC
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven.”  - Matthew 7:21a, NKJV

I is for Impossible
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.

GOD IS LOVE
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  - John 3:16, NKJV

GOD IS JUST
“For judgment is without mercy.”  - James 2:13, NKJV

MAN IS SINFUL
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- Romans 3:23, NKJV

But how can a sinful person enter heaven where God allows no sin?

T is for Turn
Turn means repent. (change direction)
Turn from something – sin and self.
“But unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
- Luke 13:3b, NKJV
Turn to Someone; trust Christ only.
“That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”  - 1 Corinthians 15:3b-4, NKJV

“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.”  - Romans 10:9, NKJV

H is for Heaven
Heaven is eternal life.

HERE – “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”  - John 10:10b, NKJV

HEREAFTER – “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”  - John 14:3, NKJV

HOW – How can a person have God’s forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord?  …By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. 

Read this prayer and see if it says what you want to say to God.

Dear God, I know that Jesus is Your Son, and that He died on the cross and was raised from the dead.  I know I have sinned and need forgiveness.  I am willing to turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord.  Thank you, Lord Jesus,  for saving me.  Amen.

Call on the Lord in repentance, faith, and surrender, using these or similar words of your own; and Jesus will become your Savior and Lord.
