Hello friend! This blog is a practical guide for Christian young women. My goal would be to have every young woman who reads this blog though to start at this page because I have a very important question for you before you begin to read.

Are you a Christian? I’m not asking if you go to church or if you consider yourself a member of a Christian nation. I mean are you really, truly a Christian? A better way to ask this would be: are you 100% sure that if you were to die today, then you would go to Heaven? If the answer to that question is anything other than an emphatic, absolute, completely 100% sure yes, then please read on.

You can know for absolutely sure that you’re going to Heaven very easily:

The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” in Romans 6:23. And because Heaven is a gift, like any other genuine gift, it is not earned or deserved. No amount of personal effort, good works, or religious deeds can earn a place in Heaven for you. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8,9).

Man is a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

Sin is transgressing God’s law and includes such things as lying, lust, cheating, deceit, evil thoughts, immoral behavior, and more.

And because of this, man cannot save himself. If you wanted to save yourself by good deeds, do you know how good you would have to be?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48). With such a high standard, no one can save himself.

However, in spite of our sin, God is merciful, and therefore doesn’t want to punish us.

This is because God is Love (1 John 4:8). But the same Bible which tells us that God loves us, also tells us that God is just and therefore must punish sin. He says that He “… will by no means clear the guilty” (Exodus 34:7). And “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4).

We have a problem. God solved this problem for us in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Who is He? The Bible tells us clearly that He is the infinite God-Man.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:1,14).

Jesus Christ came to earth and lived a sinless life, but while on earth, what did He do? He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the grave to purchase a place for us in Heaven.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6). Jesus Christ bore our sin in His body on the cross and now offers you eternal life (Heaven) as a free gift.

This gift is received by faith. Many people mistake two things for saving faith:

Saving faith is not mere head knowledge, like believing certain historical facts. The Bible says that the devil believes there is one God, so believing that there is one God is not saving faith.

Saving faith is also not mere temporal faith, that is, trusting God for temporary crises such as financial, family, or physical needs. Now these are good, and you should trust Christ for these, but they are not saving faith!

Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. It means resting upon Christ alone and what He has done rather than in what you or I have done to get us into Heaven.

“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31). The question that God is asking you now is would you like to receive the gift of eternal life?

Because this is such an important matter let’s clarify just what it involves. It means that you need to:

1. Transfer your trust from what you have been doing to what Christ has done for you on His cross.
2. Accept Christ as your Saviour: ask Him to save you.
3. Repent. Be willing to turn from anything that is not pleasing to Him. He will reveal His will to you as you grow in your relationship with Him.Now, if this is what you really want, you can go to God in prayer right where you are. You can receive His gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ right now.

   “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:10,13).

   If you want to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, then call on Him asking Him for this gift right now. Here’s a suggested prayer:

   “Lord Jesus, thank You for Your gift of eternal life. I know I’m a sinner and do not deserve eternal life. But You loved me so You died and rose from the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. I now trust in You alone for eternal life and repent of my sin. Please take control as Lord of my life. Thank you so much!”

   If this prayer is the sincere desire of your heart, look at what Jesus promises to those who believe in Him: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life” (John 6:47).
