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.
