A Contrite Heart
What do you need to do in order to be sure you will go to heaven when you die? The answer: You need to come to a place in your life where you realize you are a sinner, lost, and going to hell, repentant before the Lord, asking Jesus Christ to save you. This occurs when the gospel message comes to you; and you realize who Jesus is, and why He came; and you now want Jesus Christ to rule your life through His Word (See John’s Gospel).
