Hello, my name is Juwan El Khoury and I am from Sweden
In this video I want to show you how you can be sure from the Bible that you will go to heaven when you die
There are many people who believe themselves to go to heaven for their deeds
They say that if they do good deeds and if they remain a good person, they will go to heaven
And people believe that they are good and that is why they go to heaven
But the Bible does not teach us that way
The Bible teaches us, Jesus tells us in the Bible that there is no one good except one and that is the Lord
I will show you from the Bible how you can make sure that you will go to heaven when you die
The Bible teaches us in Romans 3 and 23
Written "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"
That means we are all sinners, there is no one who is not a sinner
And in Romans 6 and 23
Written "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
That means the criminal punishment is death
And let me show you the second death
I want to show you what is written about the second death
In John 20 and 14 it is written
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire"
This is the second death
And let's see who goes to the second death
To the lake of fire
The lake of fire to the second death
Let's see who goes there
In John 21 and 28 it is written
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone"
Which is the second death
Here John gives us an example
The last example tells us all liars
If I ask myself
I can't count how many times I've lied in my life
And I'm sure that every one of us has lied once in his life
What am I trying to show you?
The Bible teaches us that all of us deserve to go to Hell
No one deserves to go to Heaven
All of us deserve to go to Hell
Lying is enough for one to deserve to go to Hell
But does God want us to go to Hell?
Of course not
Does God want us to go to Hell by the fire?
Of course not
In Romans 5 and 8 it's written
But God commended his love toward us
In that while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us
Let's focus on this part and tell you more about God's love
The Lord came down in a body
The Bible teaches us that Jesus is the Lord
There's only one Lord
But this Lord is three people
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
The Father sent the Son
The Son came down in a body in the womb of a woman named Maria
She's from the Holy Spirit
And she lived a life without sin
She didn't do any sin
Remember, he had a body like ours
She tried, but she didn't do any sin
The Bible teaches us that they beat him
They beat him and hanged him on the cross
And in the first message of Petrus
The Bible teaches us that he was on the cross
To protect our sins in his body
And then he died
And he went to hell for 3 days and 3 nights
And then he died
All these deeds were done to get rid of our sins
We can't get rid of our sins
No matter how hard we try
We are not good
We are sinners, we deserve to go to hell
Let me show you what we should do to get rid of our sins
Let me show you what we should do
To be sure that we are going to heaven
In Acts 16, 13 or 31
It is written about a prisoner who asks the student
He asks him what he should do to get rid of his sins
Let me show you what he should do
It is written
And brought them out, and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
And they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
See here, they did not tell him to get rid of his sins
They did not tell him to do good deeds
They did not tell him to be good
And to do good deeds to get rid of his sins
They did not tell him to go to the church to get rid of his sins
They told him to believe in Jesus Christ and get rid of his sins
Isn't that so?
The Bible teaches us that when we believe in Jesus, we get rid of our sins
We must put all our trust in Him
Not in our deeds, but in ourselves
To say that we are good and we can do good deeds to go to heaven
No, that's not how we get rid of our sins
In Ephesians 2, chapter 9, it is written
"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."
You can see in this passage that salvation is a gift
"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."
How do we get rid of it? By faith
Why?
Because it is a gift
And it is written in the same place
That it is not of works
Not of works
We don't get the gift by working
Because it is a gift
Imagine there is a young man next to me
And I tell him that I am giving him this gift
And I tell him
"Take this gift, young man, but come and work with me for a year"
Would it be a gift if I tell him to work with me for a year to get it?
No
Imagine I give him the gift and then he comes back after a week and I tell him
"Give me the gift back"
And he says "No, I saw you cutting it yesterday"
Would it be a gift?
No
A gift is nothing
How did Jesus pay us to get it?
He paid with his blood
How do we get it?
By believing
It is nothing
We don't work
A person can't work to get a gift
And he doesn't work to keep the gift with him
Isn't that so?
The end is a gift
Let me remind you what is written in Romans 6 and 3 and 20
Just remind us that the sin is death
Let me show you from the same place
What is written
For the wages of sin is death
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
Here we see that the eternal life is a gift
Let me show you what Jesus says in John 3 and 16
He says
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life
Whosoever believeth in him shall have everlasting life and it is a gift
We will not lose it, it is ours, if we believe in it, it will be ours
We will be 100% sure that we will go to heaven if we take this gift
Ok?
Think about it
If you have a gift and God comes back to you to do something wrong
It will not be a gift, right?
And not only that, the eternal life, if we do the eternal life and we lose it tomorrow
Was it an eternal life? No, it was my life tomorrow
He gives us an eternal life, a gift, for free
Now, let me show you what he believes in
And what he ends up doing, he will not be judged
He will not be judged again, the Lord told us in the Gospel
In John 5 and 24 it is written
Verily, verily I say unto you
He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me
Hath everlasting life
And shall not come into condemnation
But is passed from death unto life
So we see here what he believes in
What he ends up doing, he has an eternal life
And we can see in the first message of John that what he believes in
He has an eternal life
Not that we are waiting for it to come to us
The gift has come to us
But we believe in it
And we will not be judged, we have seen from the same place
So if God will judge us and put us in heaven
It was not a gift, is not it?
And he said that he will not judge us
He will judge us and it will not be right
That this is the passage in the Bible
But the Lord cannot lie
There is no lie in the Lord
If the Lord says that we will not be judged but we believe in it
We will not be judged
Now remember, I am not telling you that we can live on the earth as we want
The Bible teaches us that if we make a mistake on the earth
If we go against the will of the Lord on the earth
He will judge us on the earth
Remember this, He will judge us on the earth
It means that we should not make a mistake
If we make a mistake on the earth, He will judge us on the earth
But the Bible teaches us that it is a gift
It does not take it from us, it does not return the gift
We are going to heaven, but if we want to live a good life
And be happy in it, and show that we love it
We do as they tell us, and we do good deeds
All these good deeds that we can do, we do them
How do we do them? We should not make a mistake
But we do not do them to go to heaven
You should see the difference
We do not do them to go to heaven
We believe in going to heaven, we do deeds to be happy in it
And to do what they tell us, to show that we love it
And we should do the right thing, right?
Why should we live our lives and do the wrong thing?
But remember, no matter what we do
No matter how much we make a mistake, we never lose
And that's what happened to us
We believe, we believe that it happened to us
Let me show you that there are people who believe that they are Christians
They will stand in front of them and call them "Rab Rab"
And they believe that they are going to heaven, but they don't know them
And they are not Christians, and they are not going to heaven
In Matthew 7, 21, 23, it's written
"Not everyone that say it unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven
But he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name
And in thy name have cast out devils
And in thy name done many wonderful works
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you
Depart from me, ye that work in equity."
[speaking in Arabic]
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you believe and want to be sure that you received the gift, it is written here, the Bible teaches us in Romans 10, 9-10 that he admits that the Lord Jesus was born and believes in his heart that the Lord took him out of the dead, he will be finished.
We saw in Romans 10, 13 that it is written that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be finished.
If you want help, if we bow our heads and pray to him, ask him to give you the gift so that you can be sure.
Remember that it is written that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be finished.
Who admits that the Lord Jesus was born and believes in his heart that the Lord took him out of the dead, he will be finished.
Now, let us bow our heads and pray to him if you want to make sure that he took the gift.
O Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, I deserve to go to heaven, but I believe that you died for me and came out of the dead.
I am praying for you to save me from my sins and give me the gift. I pray in your name, Jesus. Amen.
Congratulations! If you did as the Bible says, as Irena, if we admit that the Lord Jesus was born and believes in his heart that the Lord took him out of the dead, we will be finished.
Everyone who prays in the name of the Lord will be finished. Isn't that right? As Irena said, if you believed in your heart and prayed with me and asked for the gift, the gift is yours. Congratulations!
