When a child of God looks into the Word of God and sees the Son of God, he is changed by the Spirit of God into the image of God for the glory of God.
It all starts right there.
Jesus is the author life; He knows how your life should end up. He knows where your life should go and He knows how to get your life going in that direction because He is the author of life.
It's all conceived and received inside of the form of Jesus. But in order to know that life, you have to have the author of life (Jesus). You have to receive him into your heart. It is a very simple process.
I read this quote a few years ago and it really made an impact on me.
"I believe in paradise and the world after. I hope that God will forgive me of my sins. I don't know. I don't think there is anything to fear."Just a few months later, he slipped into eternity. I don't know if he is spending eternity with Jesus or not. I can only guess that most likely he's not.

He was HOPING that things would turn out right. But you can go beyond that. You CAN know that things are going to turn out all right. You just have to get the right thing inside of you and that's Jesus Christ.
If you're reading this and you are saying, "Steve I'm not for sure that I know that Heaven will be my home if I were to die right now." Okay here is what we need to do. I'm asking you to read this prayer out loud and mean it from the bottom of your heart.
"Father God, I have decided to believe that Jesus is your son. I want to make Him my Lord and Savior right now. I ask forgiveness of all of my sins. Jesus come into my heart right now and be my Savior. Father God from this time forward I will serve my Lord and Savior to the best of my ability. I pray this in Jesus' Name. The Name that is above every other name. - Amen"If you prayed that prayer for the first time I want you to know that you have just established your eternal destiny according to the Bible! You are on your way to overcoming evil!
