The Bible fully answers the question, "How do I get to heaven?" The answer is faith in Jesus Christ.

1. Romans 8:9
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful
nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives
in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

2. Romans 8:10-11
But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because
of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of
righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who
raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He
Who raised Christ from the dead will also give
life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who
lives in you.

3. Romans 8:12-14
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but
it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to
it. For if you live according to the sinful nature,
you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because
those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons
of God.

4. Romans 8:15-17
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a
slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The
Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are
God’s children. Now if we are children, then we
are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that
we may also share in His glory.

5. The scriptures are REPLETE with
answering the question, ‘How do
I get to heaven?’
Your assurance is based on what God has DONE
in Christ, God’s PROMISES, and His SPIRIT in
you.
The Holy Spirit has come to LIVE in you.
Some doubt their salvation for what they
perceive to be the LACK of spiritual growth.

6. We have the Spirit’s INFLUENCE
and EMPOWERMENT but you
still have a part to play.
Sometimes people doubt because of
STRUGGLES or because my EXPERIENCE isn’t like
your experience.
Salvation is not dependent on FEELING saved
but having the Spirit of life in you.
Comparing experiences becomes a doorway for
DOUBT to enter.

7. We experience the Spirit
DIFFERENTLY, but He is the
SAME Spirit we experience.
We have received the Spirit of ADOPTION.
You are not PASSIVE in Christian growth but
neither are you ALONE.
Our assurance is based on God’s PROMISE, not
your performance; our FAITH, not our feelings;
and His SPIRIT, not an experience; centered on
the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
