Are You Ready....?

One day, God may say to you, "'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?" Luke 12:20

Do you know for sure you will go to Heaven when you die? What exactly do you rest on for your assurance of this?

If you are resting on the date and sincerity you prayed and 'asked Jesus into your heart', that you were sprinkled/baptized, your family(mom/father, ect.) were 'Christians'; none of these things are found in the Bible as ways to have assurance of your salvation and or going to Heaven when you die.

Here are a few verses from the Bible that are the opposite of the above mentioned things.
Read them and carefully consider how they effect you. This is the Bible, not my own words. This is not some personal interpretation either. There are correct hermeneutical ways of reading and interpreting scripture, for 2 Peter 1:20-"knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation" You can not read into what the text doesn't say and put your own meaning into it. So again, this is scripture and if these vereses are from the Bible, then this is God speaking, "Let God be true, but every man a liar.."Romans 3:4
Submit to the Word of God, and examine what you are holding on to as your assurance of salvation.

(Not by,'asking Jesus into your heart')
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
Mark 1:15

"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,"
Act2 3:19

"Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,"
Acts 17:30

(Not by Baptism)
"For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God."
Romans 4:2

"just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works"
Romans 4:6

"And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. "
Romans 11:6

"knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified."
Galations 2:16

(Not by Christian Family/Born into Christianity)
"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,"
Romans 3:21-25

"Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith."
Romans 3:27-30

"What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?*For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:" Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin."Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression."
Romans 4:1-15
