When did I meet Jesus and how do I know I’m going to Heaven?
In church the other night, Dustin taught about evangelizing. But in order to share my faith and introduce people to Jesus I have to make sure I know him personally. So I need to analyze my relationship with him.
I have known of Him since I was just a kid. All my life I have been learning of Him and all the amazing things He has done in my life. Therefore, I’d say I’ve been a Christian for basically my whole life. But being a Christian in those terms means something completely different to me than my being a Christian now.
So, when did I meet Jesus? Because that would make a turning point in my life so drastic that I will never allow myself to be the same as I was before meeting Him. I met Him November 10, 2009. That is, I REALLY met Him. It was right before I posted the post my king.
That night at CSU there was a worship service for all the college ministries at CSU. We mostly just worshiped God through song and praise. Understand that before that I refused to sing. Anywhere. Unless I was alone. However, surrounded by all these people who were passionate about our God and Savior I let myself go. I stopped caring what other people thought, I stopped caring about what I looked like or what my voice sounded like. And I just worshiped, with my whole heart. After that I was completely changed. The experience was so overwhelming and amazing.
Now for the most important question of all. Am I going to Heaven? Yes, I know for a fact that I am. You may ask how I can know this so certainly? Well because there is only one way to Heaven. Jesus said it himself.. “I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me.”
The only way I can get to Heaven is by knowing that Jesus came to this earth, God in the flesh, to die for my sins. His death was the sacrifice that freed me from eternal death.. He is the Lamb of God. He died for every sin I will ever make in my life, to make me right before God. And then to prove He was the son of God and the Messiah, he rose from the dead.
Only God can make that happen. And I believe it with my whole heart. That is how I know I am going to Heaven.
That is what gives me strength every day to strive to live the most perfect life I can by following Jesus’ example.
I want everyone to know about the sacrificial, complete, beautiful love of my Savior. Because He is all anyone could ever need.
