There is only one way to gain eternal life and heaven (paradise), that is to have faith (believe in and trust in) in Jesus Christ who is God in the Flesh, and Son of God:
““Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through m” (John 14:6)
“Jesus said, I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9)
“For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6:40)
“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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” (John 3:16-18)
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:36)
“For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,” (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
“and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead--Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.” (1 Thessalonians 1:10)
“And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News (Gospel) share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 3:6)
“then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. This Jesus is
‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’a
Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”” (Acts 4:10-12)
“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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” (Romans 10:9-10)
“All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.” (1 John 4:15)
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” (1 Timothy 2:5)
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
“And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11-12)
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and yet also God (Titus 2:13), One with the Father who is God and the Holy Spirit who is God, One God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity. Jesus erases our sins by His all sufficient death on the cross back in 33 A.D. because He is God who became a Man. Only God who is eternal and outside time (2 Peter 3:1-11) could then die for our sins for all time (Hebrews 9:26-31). Only God our Lord Jesus Christ could be perfect and make the Sacrifice of Himself be pleasing to God because He is God! (See Hebrews 1 and 9, chapters, Holy Bible). Our faith (believing in and trusting) in Jesus Christ activates His Grace and Eternal Life the moment we confess Him as our Lord (God) and believing in our hearts that He died for all our sins and rose from the dead. We then become born again (John 3:1-16), a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and God lives in us and we live in God! (1 John 4:15). Jesus who died on the cross for all sin, then resides in us, and makes us perfect by His blood, Sacrifice, and Spirit. We are then saved! Only through Christ and faith in Him are we guaranteed heaven and eternal paradise. Amen.
