Finding Your Way to
Heaven
Ever hear of the 4 Spiritual Laws? These
are 4 things that each of us must understand and act upon if
we are to find our way to heaven. Heavenbound includes
forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and a life-changing,
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

God Loves you and has designed a plan just
for you! Jesus died for you, and He wants you to have a life full of
purpose and meaning, as these verses explain:
- "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life" (John 3:16 NIV)
- "I [Christ] came that they might have life, and might have
it abundantly" (John 10:10)

 There's
only one problem: because mankind is sinful, we are separated from
God. What a sad thing for a person to never know the love of our
creator, and the beautiful plan He has for our lives!
- "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)
- "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans
3:23)

 There
is hope; Jesus was sent by God to become the sacrifice for our sin.
He died, nailed to a wooden cross, and rose to conquer death in 3
days. Thus Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became the one way back to
our Creator.
- "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the
life; no one comes to the Father but through Me'" (John 14:6)
- "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)

We must receive Jesus as the Lord and Savior
of our lives. It is only then that we can experience God's plan and
love for each of us. You can be a child of God!
- "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God, even to those who believe in His name"
(John 1:12)
- You cannot earn Salvation: "By grace you have been saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of
God; not as a result of works that no one should boast"
(Ephesians 2:8,9)

Come to Christ as you are, and make Him
the Lord of your life. You can do this in a prayer, right
where you are. If you mean these words, you can pray
something like this:
"Lord Jesus, I commit my life to you.
Thank you for dying for me, and right now I ask you to live
inside my heart. Please forgive me of my sin, and take
control of my life; make me the person you want so that I
can walk in your plan for my life."
If you just prayed that prayer, then you
have become a child of God (John 1:12). As Christians, we
must continue to grow in our faith. Encourage your
relationship with Christ by praying daily, and talk to God
as you would a friend. Also, read the Bible; the book of
John is a great place to start. Finally, we all need friends
to encourage us. Get involved in a Bible-believing church.
