If someone were to come up to you and ask if you’re going to heaven, your only response should be a confident, “absolutely.” As believers, we should not be in limbo if we’re going to heaven or not. That’s a form of doubt. The prerequisites of eternal life are clear.

-Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

-John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

-John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

The only thing we need to do to receive eternal life is to believe in Jesus. Jesus allowed us to receive the forgiveness of all our sins; Jesus allowed us to be reconciled back to God, and Jesus is the ticket to eternal life. Our behavior doesn’t determine our salvation; the number of times we go to church doesn’t determine our salvation, and the amount of money we give doesn’t determine our salvation. Only the belief in Jesus gives us the confidence to say, “I’m saved.”

By responding with, “I hope” or “we’ll see,” reveals doubts we have about what Jesus accomplished for us. Remove every doubt and believe in the finished works of Jesus.

Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
