The one and only means of spending eternity with God in heaven is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we cannot save ourselves by good works, good character, personal effort, or merit of any kind, God sent His Son to die as a substitute for sinners like you and me. When the Lord Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, He finished the work necessary for salvation. Now all God requires of you is to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior: \"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved\" (Acts 16:31).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when you trust in Jesus you are saved and are destined to spend eternity in Heaven. Jesus said, \"He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life\" (John 5:24).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill you accept God's way of salvation? The choice is yours. You may continue to trust in those things listed on page 2. If so, you will go to the grave without Christ and wake up facing God's eternal punishment. Or, you can believe in Jesus Christ and be saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe wise! Choose Christ! Then indicate the choice you have made below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e__ My only hope for Heaven is based completely upon the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

And she says, “I will soon—soon!—hear His voice, look into His eyes, and feel His embrace. And He will say, ‘Welcome home, Joni.’” It is from this vantage point that Joni now speaks about how we can live for Jesus as we look forward to our real home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a quadriplegic for fifty years, Joni has also endured cancer and extreme ongoing pain. She doesn’t speak lightly when she reminds us that, “God knows the precise tools to use in your life to cut, facet, cleanse, and refine the diamond that is your eternal soul…. Every good thing that God has ever given you will last for all eternity—including the best part of every affliction.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the end of each chapter in this updated book, Joni includes additional reflections that speak to where she is now, higher up on the hill of perspective.

It is a place of joy and beauty, of peace and happiness that will never end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy? Because heaven is also a place where there will be no sin or suffering, no sorrow or pain. It's a place where there will be no quarrels or disagreements, no disappointments or weeping–because there will be nothing there to make us sad. And in heaven we will never do anything to displease God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will then know perfect joy. Psalm 16:11 says, \"In Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.\" Everything that now makes us groan will finally be done away with, and we will find ourselves in the very presence of God, where the purest and truest kind of joy is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn heaven we will also have perfect knowledge. The Bible says, \"Then shall I know even as also I am known\" (1 Corinthians 13:12). We will have no more unanswered questions, no confusion, no ignorance, and no more need to walk by faith rather than by sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will live in perfect comfort. We will love God perfectly and will be loved perfectly by Him. His love will engulf us forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStated simply, heaven is a place of perfect joy forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of it! We will be perfectly free from evil forever. We will be set free from captivity to sin, and finally able to do that which is absolutely righteous, holy, and perfect before God. With sin and its effects erased forever, the promise of heaven is an everlasting life of unimaginable blessing!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow good do I have to be to go to heaven?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people understand that doing evil can keep us out of heaven. But few realize the Bible also teaches that doing good cannot get us in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of us could ever gain enough merit to deserve heaven. We are sinful, and God's standard is utter perfection. Jesus said, \"Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven\" (Matthew 5:20). He added, \"You are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect\" (v. 48).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho then can go to heaven? Who can be saved?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJesus' disciples asked Him this same question (Matthew 19:25). His answer? \"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible\" (v. 26). In other words, being saved so that we can go to heaven is not something we can accomplish. It is something God must do for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if I stopped sinning now and never sinned again?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter how hard we try, we could never stop sinning because we are hopelessly in bondage to sin. The Bible tells us even our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). In other words, we are sinful to the core. Furthermore, even a single sin would be enough to destroy us forever: \"Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all\" (James 2:10). But even if we never sinned from now on, we would still be guilty of our past sins. And as the Bible says, \"The wages of sin is death\" (Romans 6:23).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the good news is that God has provided a way to free us from the guilt of sin!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat has God done for me to take away my sin so I can go to heaven?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen God forgives, He cannot merely overlook sin. Full payment (atonement) must be made for our sin. Christ's death made full atonement for those who trust Him. If we believe in Him, His dying counts in our stead, paying for our sins in full. The Bible says, \"The blood of Jesus... cleanses us from all sin\" (1 John 1:7). It is only through the blood of Christ that we can ever be cleansed from the terrible guilt of sin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut that only erases the guilt of our sin; we still need perfect righteousness in order to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:20).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do we get that perfect righteousness?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you truly believe in Him, the full merit of Jesus' own righteousness is credited (imputed) to you–to all those who trust Him alone for salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible teaches that God \"justifies the ungodly\" by reckoning (or crediting) Christ's righteousness to them (Romans 4:5). Believers are clothed in His righteousness, and God accepts them solely and exclusively on that basis. That's why the Apostle Paul was willing to discard all his own efforts to earn God's favor, preferring instead to stand before God robed in a righteousness that was not his own (Philippians 3:8-9).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not a Christian, you need to lay hold of this truth by faith: the sin that will keep you out of heaven has no cure but the blood of Christ. If you are weary of your sin and exhausted from the load of your guilt, He tenderly holds forth the offer of life and forgiveness and eternal rest to you: \"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest\" (Matthew 11:28).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can I be sure Christ will save me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible promises that no one who believes in Christ will be turned away: \"Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out\" (John 6:37). In the closing words of the Bible, Christ invites all to come to Him and receive the promise of heaven: \"... Let him that heareth... come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely\" (Revelation 22:17b).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and have the promise of heaven, we would encourage you to receive Him right now wherever you are. Simply pray:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I know that You died for me to pay for my sins. Please forgive me and make me one of Your own, that I may live in Heaven with You for all eternity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText adapted from the book \u003cem\u003eThe Glory of Heaven\u003c\/em\u003e by John F.
