 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

 

A is for Available

Forgiveness is available. It 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

But not automatic

Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven    Matthew 7:21a

 

I is for Impossible

It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.

God is:                   
    
    Love  -  John 3:16                     
    Just  -  For judgement is without mercy     James 2:13a

 

Man is:                 
   Sinful  -  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God     Romans 3:23

 

T is for Turn

Turn from something - sin and self

But unless you repent you will all likewise perish      Luke 13:3b

 

Turn to Someone; Trust Christ Only

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  

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

 

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

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

 

How can a person have God’s forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord?
