Gold = Heaven                                                                                                                         
Our goal is to get to Heaven and spend eternity with our loving God.

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 
   ~ Philippians 3:14

S = Separation from God       Black = Sin                                                                            

The Bible tells us that because of our sin we are separated from God.  Our perfect God cannot allow our sin into Heaven.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 
   ~ Romans 3:23

H = Help                               Red = Blood of Jesus                                                               

Because our sin separates us from God, there is nothing that we can do on our own to get into Heaven.  We need His help.  Because of God’s grace, He provided that help for us by sending His son Jesus who died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
   ~ Romans 5:8

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
   ~ Ephesians 2:8-9

O = Offer                              White = Free from sin                                                            

Because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins on the cross and rose from the grave, we have the opportunity to be free from those sins.  God does this by offering us the free gift of eternal life in Heaven.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 
   ~ Romans 6:23

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” 
   ~ Acts 3:19

T = Take the gift          Green = A new life                                                                          

Like any gift, we don’t have it unless we take it.  When we do take this free gift, we are given a new life.  But how do we take the gift?  The Bible says…

“If you confess 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 confess and are saved…For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 
   ~ Romans 10: 9-10,13

To make your SHOT at Heaven 100% guaranteed, pray this prayer with a sincere heart:

“Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I need a Savior.  I believe You died on the cross for my sins.  I repent from my sins and ask that You please forgive them.  Come into my life and help me to follow You.  I love You, Jesus.  Thank you for loving me first.  Amen.”

Now what?

Since you have a new life in Christ,

you need to GROW in your faith.

Go to God every day in prayer.

Read the Bible daily.

Obey God’s word.

Witness to others.
