"Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious ideal; yet now God declares us ‘not guilty’ of offending Him (God’s grace)
if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in His kindness
freely takes away our sins."

Rom 3:23-24 TLB


"And if (salvation is) by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace."
Rom 11:6 NIV

 


"And what is it that God has said?
That He has given us eternal life and that this life is in His Son (Jesus). So whoever has God's Son has (eternal) life; whoever does not have His Son, does not have (eternal) life.
I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God
so that you may know you have eternal life."
1 John 5:11-13 TLB

Salvation is given by the grace of God through Jesus Christ only.
I acknowledge that my sin will not allow me to go to heaven. 
It prevents me from having eternal life.  So, I receive the gift that God has given to me by accepting Jesus as my savior. 
I lovingly submit to Him.  He saves me from eternal death.  He cleanses all of my sin, past and future, and makes me righteous with God.  He has allowed me to become born again in spirit and an adopted son of God.  Lord, thank you for giving me eternal life and the promise that it can never be taken away.

I will go to heaven!
