Dreaming of an international vacation? Without obtaining a passport you cannot travel to many foreign destinations. Anyone who wants to be in Heaven some day must also plan ahead.

Prepared for Heaven?

No one can enter Heaven—God’s holy and eternal dwelling place—unless they are prepared. Because God is holy and hates all sin, He cannot accept anyone into Heaven who is defiled by sin. Each of us should carefully evaluate ourselves against God’s requirement for entering Heaven.

God’s commandments paint a picture of what He requires. These commandments include things like not lying, not stealing, not being jealous, and not using God’s name as a swear word. When we look at these commandments and honestly evaluate ourselves, we must admit we have failed to perfectly meet God’s righteous standard. Each one of us is guilty before God. His word, the Bible, makes it clear that every single person is a sinner: “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). None of us have the sinless requirement needed to enter Heaven.

Paying the Price

Many people are convinced they can earn a place in Heaven by doing good things like going to church, reading the Bible, praying, and helping others. The problem is that none of our good works can erase the guilt of our sin. God’s word teaches that “whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10). Just one sin is enough to make us guilty.

If you want to be prepared for Heaven, you need to have your sins forgiven. Because God loves us, He has—at great expense—provided the way. Our salvation was paid for through the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the cross. God sent Him to die in our place, receiving the punishment for our sin. “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).

Do You Want a Passport to Heaven?

First, you must recognize that your sinfulness makes you unfit for Heaven. Next, you need to realize that you cannot earn God’s forgiveness. Finally, you have to depend fully upon Jesus’ sacrifice as payment for your sins.

You will receive your passport to Heaven when you place your trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. “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). Salvation is a gift. “By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Accept the free gift of salvation God offers you through His Son. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). You can ask God to give you this salvation right now. All who turn to Him in sincere faith will be saved!

¿Sueñas con unas vacaciones en el extranjero? Si no obtienes un pasaporte, no puedes viajar a muchos destinos internacionales. Cualquiera que quiera ir al Cielo algún día también debe planificar con anticipación.

¿ESTÁS PREPARADO PARA EL CIELO?

Nadie puede entrar en el Cielo —la santa y eterna morada de Dios— a menos que esté preparado. Debido a que Dios es santo y odia todo pecado, no puede aceptar en el Cielo a nadie que esté contaminado por el pecado. Cada uno de nosotros debe evaluarse a sí mismo cuidadosamente con respecto a los requisitos de Dios para entrar en el Cielo.

Los mandamientos de Dios pintan un cuadro de lo que Él requiere. Estos mandamientos incluyen cosas como no mentir, no robar, no envidiar y no usar el nombre de Dios como una grosería. Cuando miramos estos mandamientos y nos evaluamos honestamente, debemos admitir que no hemos cumplido perfectamente con el estándar justo de Dios. Cada uno de nosotros es culpable ante Dios. Su palabra, la Biblia, deja claro que todas las personas son pecadoras: “Todos pecaron y no alcanzan la gloria de Dios” (Romanos 3:23). Ninguno de nosotros cumple con el requisito de estar sin pecado, el cual es necesario para entrar en el Cielo.

PAGANDO EL PRECIO

Muchas personas están convencidas de que pueden ganarse un lugar en el Cielo haciendo cosas buenas como ir a la iglesia, leer la Biblia, orar y ayudar a los demás. El problema es que ninguna de nuestras buenas obras puede borrar la culpa de nuestro pecado. La palabra de Dios enseña que “cualquiera que guarda toda la ley, pero falla en un punto, se ha hecho culpable de todos” (Santiago 2:10). Un solo pecado es suficiente para hacernos culpables.

Si quieres estar preparado para el Cielo, necesitas que tus pecados sean perdonados. Debido a que Dios nos ama, Él, a un gran costo, ha provisto el camino. Nuestra salvación fue pagada a través del sufrimiento y la muerte de Jesucristo en la cruz. Dios lo envió a morir en nuestro lugar, recibiendo el castigo por nuestros pecados. “Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que dio a Su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que cree en Él, no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna” (Juan 3:16).

¿QUIERES UN PASAPORTE PARA EL CIELO?

En primer lugar, debes reconocer que tu pecaminosidad hace que no seas apto para ir al Cielo. Luego, tienes que darte cuenta de que no puedes ganar el perdón de Dios. Finalmente, tienes que depender completamente del sacrificio de Jesús como pago por tus pecados.

Recibirás tu pasaporte al Cielo cuando pongas tu confianza en Jesucristo como Señor y Salvador. “Si confiesas con tu boca a Jesús por Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo” (Romanos 10:9). La salvación es un regalo. “Porque por gracia ustedes han sido salvados por medio de la fe, y esto no procede de ustedes, sino que es don de Dios; no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe” (Efesios 2:8-9).

Acepta el don gratuito de la salvación que Dios te ofrece a través de Su Hijo. “Cree en el Señor Jesús, y serás salvo” (Hechos 16:31). Puedes pedirle a Dios que te dé esta salvación ahora mismo. ¡Todos los que vengan a Él con una fe sincera serán salvos!

5. God provides a way out

“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

“Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God.” (1 Peter 3:18)

6. Jesus lives to give you life

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’” (John 11:25)

“There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men … Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)

Do you know these 7 things to be true?

It is God’s desire that you know His plan of salvation. Even more than that, it is of vital importance that you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today!

“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” (Mark 8:36)

Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)

“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:36)

“There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke 15:10)
