Will believing in Jesus Christ assure that I will go to Heaven?

The Bible says, “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.” Apostle John 3:16, NKJV

This Bible verse means that everyone who truly believes in and remains obedient to Jesus will go to Heaven. As Christians, we must remain obedient to God’s commandments. Remember that if you truly believe in Jesus, your life will change into a lifestyle that pleases God. You will leave the life of sin and pursue a life that pleases God.

Salvation and forgiveness of sins are conditioned upon a person believing in Jesus to the extent that they live according to Christ’s commandments.

The Evidence or Proof that we are really Christians is that all true Christians live a lifestyle that pleases God.

Jesus said, “If you love Me [Jesus], keep My commandments.”  Apostle John 14:15, NKJV

The evidence that we are true Christians is proven by our lives of obedience to Christian principles.

Do not let yourself be fooled by fake preachers who say that you can remain in sinful lifestyles and still go to heaven.

What is the true Faith in Jesus?  Only true faith will get you into Heaven.

The Apostle James spoke about the essence of true faith in Christ. Faith in Jesus without the accompanying good deeds is useless.

The Bible says, “ Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder. But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.”  Apostle James 2:17-22

To go to Heaven, you must make Jesus your Boss and remain obedient to God.

Does this mean that we are going to Heaven because we obey God and do good deeds?

We are going to Heaven because we believe and trust in Jesus as our God and Commander (Boss). The good deeds that we do in this life are a consequence of our dedication and faith in Jesus.

The Bible says, “For by grace [unmerited favor] you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works [good deeds], lest anyone should boast.”  Letter to the Ephesians by the Apostle Paul 2:8-9 

What Are God’s Commandments?

The Bible says, “One of them, a lawyer, asked Him [Jesus] a question, testing Him. ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?’

Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”  Apostle Matthew 22:35-40
