Do You Know What The Bible Says Is The Way To Heaven?
Have you ever gotten lost? I have. I think I was about 3 years old. My mother took me shopping with her in a large department store. I remember the store aisles looked miles long to me. The people walking about looked as big as giants. The store’s display cases looked as tall as skyscrapers to me. As I toddled along staring wide-eyed at what I was seeing, I thought I was with my mother. Then I stopped, turned around, and could not see her anywhere. I became terrified. I did not know where I was or where to go. I started to cry. Then someone came and suddenly my mother arrived too.
It can be a frightening experience to be lost during our earthly life; it can be far, far worse in eternity. We can ill afford to become spiritually lost in all the false teachings around us and end up in hell instead of in heaven. Do you know the way to heaven? What does the Bible say is the way?
Not long before Jesus suffered, died, rose from and dead the ascended into heaven, he told his disciples according to John 14:2-6, “In my Father’s house are many rooms; . . . I am going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am, you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Then Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how are we able to know the way?” Then Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus was going to heaven. Thomas wanted to know what was the way there. Jesus said that he himself was the way. No one could come to his Father in heaven except through him. So what does the Bible say in these verses is the way to heaven? Through Jesus. To get to heaven one must believe in Jesus. As the Bible says in Acts 16:31, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
So what does the Bible say is the way to eternal life and salvation in heaven? Through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. And now you know what is the way to heaven.
