Our sin separates from God.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Some People Believe They Can Gain Access to Heaven by Their Actions
Such As . . .

- Obeying the 10 Commandments
The Law Can’t Save Us, But Only Shows us That We are Sinners
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
James 2:10 and Galatians 3:11
Others Believe you Can Get to Heaven by . . .

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesains 2:8-9
The Choice is Yours . . . You Can Accept Christ’s Work on the Cross and be Saved

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to god through the death of His Son, much more,
Romans 5:8-10
Gift of Salvation
We have examined the question: “Am I going to Heaven?” One thing we learned is that we are sinners and we can’t save ourselves. We deserve to go to hell. It is our sin keeps us out of heaven, There is absolutely nothing we can do to earn a place in heaven.
Thankfully, God is offering us the wonderful gift of salvation. In fact God will guarantee your salvation if you simply believe that Christ took the punishment for our sins on the cross.
On the cross Christ who knew no sin died for our sins that we might be made righteous in God. He died for us paying our debt in full so that we can have eternal life.
If you have not yet put your faith in Christ, please do so now.
So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved . . .”
Acts 16:31
