Are you SURE , I mean REALLY SURE , like 100% SURE you will get to HEAVEN ?

I can still remember vividly when I was asked this question - " If something should happen to you , like if you should die , ca you be 100% sure that you will get to heaven ? " At that point of time , I couldn't say I could so positively . But deep down in my heart , I honestly wasn't sure at all . The best I could say was that I hope that I would get to heaven when I die .

What a heavy question for anyone to answer ! Yet , what an important question ! I was troubled by the question for quite a while . Somehow , God spoke to me through the Bible . And I hope the following passges will help you too .

" And this is the testimony : God has given us eternal life , and this life is in His Son . He who has the Son has life ; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life . " 1 John 5 : 11-12 .

The above tells us very clearly that God has given you and me eternal life . And eternal life is found in His Son who is Jesus Christ . If we have invited Jesus into our lives , then we have eternal life . I was (am) able to accept this truth by faith .

" 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 heirs - heirs of god , if indeed we share in his suffering in order that we may also share in His glory . " romans 8:15-17

This was the passage that really spoke to me - in particular verse 16 . The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will testify with our spirits that we are God's children . He will tell us that we belong to Him .

I immediately claimed this promise for myself . I prayed " Father , You have said in Your Word that Your Spirit will testify with my spirit that I am your son . I claim this and ask that you will let me know this is so . "

Not being able to pinpoint an exact time when we really knew , I can only say that it was within a few months . I realised that this can be quite subjective but I am as sure of my salvation as I am as sure that I am alive . I know without a shadow of doubt , I will go to heaven to be with Christ if anything should happen to me . I believe that you can claim the above promises for yourself by faith and through prayer . I can't tell when it would happen but I believe that you will know when the time comes .

Let me end with this line from a chorus - : I am on my way to heaven and I shall not be moved . "
