John 3: 16 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.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned;
but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 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.
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
23 Jesus answered and said to him,
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words;
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

We can know if we accept and understand we are a sinner/imperfect,
[as all are] - and we cannot enter heaven by our own efforts or imagination.
Romans+3:10 As it is written:
“ There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..
Galatians 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,
dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world
and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time,
gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
2 Timothy 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous,
without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power.

Romans+6: 23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We can know if we believe Jesus died on the cross for our sin [ He died for all ]
and confess this to Him
Romans 10: 9..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
.10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
13 For“whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Acts 26: 18 ...to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
Acts 2: 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
33 Exalted to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father
the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
36 “Therefore let all...be assured of this:
God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart
and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--
for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
John 3: 3 Jesus...said to Nicodemus,
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old?
Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life;
and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
Titus 3:4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5 -not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy-He saved us,
through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 that having been justified by His grace
we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

We can know by putting our relationship with God right
by confessing our need to Him.
Heaven is not for those, sometimes nice or a little bit nice or a little bit mean..,
heaven is different to earth, - heaven is only for the wholly pure,
and only God's Spirit in us, makes us pure - ie it's a miracle He does in us,
which happens when we believe and say to Him -
Yes, I believe you are God, Yes - I am a sinner,
I know now You love me, I have not loved You,
I confess my need of You, I believe Jesus the Son of God died for me-
I want You as My Saviour, please take my life, so I can be Your child,
I want my heart re-newed by Your grace..
I want to live in You by the power of Your Holy Spirit within me,
I want You to control my life,
for You love me and know what is best for me, I trust You.
I want to live with You forever.
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom He has given us.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man,
though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by His blood,
how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!
10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son,
how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!
11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life;
no one can come to the Father except through me."
We can know when we accept:
God's gift of salvation offered to us by His mercy,
that He died on the cross for our sin and death,
that our sin is covered forever,
that we are redeemed/bought back to God
that He places His eternal life in us..
Ephesians 2: 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--
it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 5: 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you,
he who hears My word and believes in Him [God] who sent Me [Jesus] has everlasting life,
and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Then we can put ourselves in that verse- to know we are going to heaven-
believing we are sinners - we can say - Jesus died for me -
Because I have heard His word and believe in God who sent Jesus,
I have everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement
but have passed [NOW] from death to life.
isn't that wow..
Romans 8:1
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires;
but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit,
if the Spirit of God lives in you.
And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin,
yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead
will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die;
but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 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.”
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
When we truly want Him -
and truly want His heaven, we pray and read God's word
and ask God to reveal Himself and He does...,
God's heaven is for those who want Him, we have this life to choose.
If you know this, you know HIM, and know the rest He gives..
There is therefore a rest for the people of God - Hebrews 4
If you feel confused, just ask God to reveal Himself to you,
Jesus says ask, seek, knock and the door will be opened..
~ Seeing Jesus ~
In his book We Would See Jesus, Roy Hession reminds us,
“We do not need to itemize the Christian life;
it is enough to see Jesus.
Each aspect of Christian experience is made real in us
just by seeing Him.
He is both the Blessing we all seek and the easily accessible Way to this blessing.
The Lord Jesus has come to take from us every yoke of bondage
and to set us free to serve Him in the freshness and spontaneity of the Spirit,
and all that by the simple sight of Him
which the Holy Spirit gives to the eye of faith.
It is enough to see Jesus and to go on seeing Him"

“You have never failed in business;
you have brought up your children well;
you never swear; you were never a drunkard;
midnight orgies never saw you mixed up in them; this is well, but I pray thee,
put not on this as thy proper dress:
FOR the proper dress for a sinner to go to Christ in,
is sackcloth and the rope.
‘Well,’ says one,
‘I never will acknowledge that I deserve to be damned!’ -- Then you never will be saved.
‘Well,’ says another,
‘I never will take the language of a great sinner upon my lips.’ --Then you shall never be saved;
for unless you are willing to confess that God may justly damn you, God will never save you;
but if you feel in your heart to-night,
that if he sends your soul to hell, his righteous law approves it well;
if you wonder how it is that you are not in the pit,
and marvel why such mercy should have been shown to you, come, brother, come;
come as you are, for you wear the true court-dress of a sinner.” --Charles Spurgeon
