Where would you spend eternity if you died today?

HEAVEN:
"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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:2-3
or
HELL:
"So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13:49-50

Why would anyone want to go to HELL?

but….

How does one get to HEAVEN?

In order to get to Heaven, "Ye must be born again."
Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

To be born again (saved) one must realize he is a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

How did I become a sinner? Where did sin come from?
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Romans 5:12

I realize I am a sinner, but what penalty must I pay for my sin?
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
The penalty for sin is death in Hell and an eternal separation from God.

What is the gift that God gave so I may have eternal life?
"For God so loved the world, that he have his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:16-17

Jesus died so that our sin debt could be paid in full?
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed his blood to pay the penalty for our sin, so if we choose by faith we will spend an eternity with him in Heaven.

How can I be saved and choose to be with him in Heaven?
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

God’s plan is this simple. All you have to do is put your faith in His word and claim His promise to you, and you will spend eternity in Heaven. Just pray a simple prayer like the following:

Dear Lord Jesus, I realize I am a sinner and that you died on the cross and shed your precious blood to pay for my sin. I know that you rose again and conquered death and hell so that I may have eternal life. Thank you for forgiving my sins so that I may receive you as my Lord and Savior. Amen

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36
