The scriptures tell us these facts about getting to heaven.

1. Heaven, (salvation) is available to everyone, no matter race, nationality, gender or social status.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:13

2. However, one must come to the Lord and ask Him for His free gift. It is not automatic, you cannot earn it, and you cannot buy it. You must humble yourself before Him and ask Him for His free gift of eternal life.

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Rom 5:18

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6.23

3. You must also recognize you have a need for a savior.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 3:23

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:10

4. Repent of your sins, (not believing in Him before now), therefore a life without God up to this point, and ask Him to save you now.

Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:14b - 15

5. Believe that Jesus took the penalty of your sin for you, thereby saving you from hell and the wrath of God.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb 9:12-14

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:13

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Rom 4:25

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor 5:21

6. Believe you receive eternal life at the time you pray.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:24

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 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. John 3:15-16

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:25

7. Pray this prayer out loud, believing God hears and answers it when you pray it.

"Father, in Jesus name, please forgive me of all my sins. I am sorry I have not believed in you up till now and I am coming to you asking you to forgive me and now save me. Please come into my heart Lord Jesus and live through me. I believe I receive, thank you, in Jesus name."

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:9-10
