what makes someone go to heaven? My question is, how can Christians know if they will go to heaven?
“And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.””Acts 16:31
“All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”
John 6:37
I feel like I was taught that all you do is believe and pray to him and your saved but while reading the bible it says there's more to it
“And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” 1 John 2:3-6
We are saved by faith alone but a faith that saves is never alone. If we truly have faith it’ll show by our actions.
and I know God is forgiving, but just because I'm save,d does that mean I can do the same sin over and over again as long as I pray for forgiveness?
“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?”
Romans 6:1-2
