am i going to heaven

Well, there's no doubt about it - EVERYONE wants to go to heaven. So, isn't it a strange thing that most people don't bother to prepare for it? There's no preparation necessary for hell. It's straight ahead - you can't miss it. But heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. So then, how do you prepare for heaven?

Sadly, many have the misconception that heaven is basically a place that caters to their unfulfilled wishes in THIS life - kind of a place where we can forever hang out with our friends enjoying some kind of eternal party. While heaven is indeed a real place and it IS forever, people do not realize that it is characterized by holiness and the complete absence of sin - a place where the will of God is foremost and the worship of God is paramount. Sound like a place where you'd like to go? Not likely, if you are still living under the power of sin in your own life. It is through Christ alone that sinners can be saved and fitted for heaven. So, are YOU sure of being in heaven? You can be!

The Lord Jesus Christ gives us an unmistakable imperative in Matthew Chapter 7. He says, "Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it." It is difficult to miss the two roads and the two destinies spoken of in these verses. Yes, there is a heaven; and yes, there is a hell. And the choice is ours as to which road we take and which destiny we arrive at. But only in the Bible will you find an honest and unbiased assessment of man's true nature and the unchangeable standards of God to which we must attain. But, yes, heaven IS attainable, not by our works or merit but by the work of Christ on the cross for us.
