Are YOU going to Heaven ?

 What do you  feel is the best way to reach Heaven ?

1. Keeping the  10 Commandments:

The 10 commandments  are God's  absolute  rules for living . NO man  has  ever perfectly  kept  all of Gods  Laws ~ Except  for God's Son -Jesus. A person  will never  reach Heaven  through  his or her own efforts .

The Bible says:

Therefore  by the deeds  of the law there shall  no flesh be justified  in HIS { God } sight : For  by the law  is the knowledge of sin " Romans  3:20 

2. Gifts of  Charity:

3. Doing ones Best :

4. leading a good life :

2, 3 or 4~ Gifts  to charity , doing one's best, and leading a  good life  are  commendable acts , BUT according to the Bible, They will not  Save anyone .

The Bible says :

"Not by works  of Righteousness which  we have done, BUT according  to HIS Mercy He saved us "  Titus 3:5

5. Good works :

6. Trying to obey the golden  rule:

7. Tithing or giving  to the Church:

5, 6, or 7 Neither Good works , trying to obey  the Golden rule or giving to the church  will get  you into Heaven .

The Bible says :

For  by Grace  ye are saved  through Faith and that not of your  yourself s: It is the gift of God: Not of  works  lest any man should boast" Ephesians 2:8-9

8. Church membership :

9.Regular Church attendance:

10. Prayers

11. Fasting :

8, 9, 10,11~  Church membership , regular church attendance , prayers  and fasting  are  good in themselfs  BUT they  can NEVER justify sinners  before a Holy God .

The Bible Says :

We are all as  an unclean thing  and all our  righteousness are as filthy rags" Isaiah 64 :6 

12.Baptism:

13. Holy Communion:

12 or 13  Without  Trusting Jesus  Christ, Baptism & communion  cannot  help . The  Bible Shows  clearly  that these  are of Spiritual value ONLY  when  one believes in Jesus Christ.

The Bible Says  Please read :

Acts 8:12  and 1 Corinthians 11:2 , 23-24

14.Born of Christian parents :

Children born into Christian  homes need  to be saved  Just like everyone else

The Bible says :

As many as received HIM { Christ}, To them  gave  he power  to become  the sons of God ,Even  to them that believe on His name: Which  were born, Not of  blood , Nor of the will of the flesh, Nor  the will of man BUT of GOD  John 1:12-13

Dawns Side note :

all who  welcome Jesus  Christ as Lord  of their lives  are Reborn spiritually , Receiving New life  from God .Through Faith in Christ, This  new birth changes  us from  the inside  out ~ rearranging our attitudes,desires, motives . Being  born makes you  physically  alive  and places you  in  your parents family .

Being  reborn makes  you  spiritually  alive  and puts you in Gods family.  This Fresh start in life  is available to ALL  who believe  in Christ. 

15.Confirmation

16. Penances

17. Extreme Unction ( Anointing )

Neither Confirmation , penances or extreme Unction ( anointing )  are the  basis  for going to Heaven . God has Provided ONLY one way of Salvation .

So what is Gods only  way of Salvation ?

The Bible  gives  a definite answer . The ONE and ONLY means of  spending  Eternity  with God in heaven  is Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Alone.

Because  we can not  save ourselves by good works, good Character, Personal effort or merit  of any kind, God sent  His  Son Jesus Christ to die as a substitute  for all sinners  like you  and me .

When  the Lord Jesus  Died on the  cross  and Rose again  on the third day, HE finished  the work  necessary  for Salvation .

Now all  God requires  of YOU  is to  receive  Christ  as your Lord  and Savior:

The Bible says :

"Believe on the Lord Jesus  Christ  and thou shalt Be saved " Act 16:31

SO when  you  trust in Jesus  you are saved  and are destined  to spend Eternity  in Heaven.

Jesus Said : "He  that's hearth my word,and believe  on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall  not  come into  condemnation ; But  is passed  from death unto Life  John 5:24

Will YOU accept God's Way of Salvation ?

The choice is  yours . You may continue  to trust in those things listed  1-17 above  IF so  you  will go  to the grave  without Christ and wake up facing God's Eternal Punishment OR  you  can  believe  in Jesus Christ  and be saved .

Choose Christ Today !!

 You  can do it right now  Just  Pray to God  from your Heart  something like this :

Dear God , I admit that I am a sinner and cannot  go to Heaven  based on my own  works . Thank you  for sending Jesus  to pay  the punishment  for my sins by dying on  the Cross  then raising Him to life  again. I  turn now  from my  sins  and receive Christ as my Lord  and Savior .

Amen .

Yes it is that simple .. Praise God !!

We will never be perfect ( Only Jesus is perfect )  and once we get saved  we  still  will sin in our  earthly life Just  ask God  to forgive you and tell Him you are sorry  ( Yes  this may very well  be a daily  thing ) . 

 He  will  forgive you  and  forget your sins  as far as  the East is from the West  Psalm 103: 12 .

(East  & West can never  meet , This is a symbolic portrait of Gods Forgiveness ~When He forgives our sin He separates it from us and Does NOT remember  it.  For God  forgives  and forgets . He has wiped our record Clean.  If we are  to  follow God  we must model His forgiveness .  When we forgive  another we must also  forget the sin , otherwise  we have not   truly  forgiven 

 Christians  Are NOT perfect Just forgiven 

If you  accepted Christ as  your personal Savior today  Please  call me ( 248) 670-6181 /email me /  post your comment  below  and Tell me~

I would also love to hear if  you  did this  not  only  Today  But any time in your life~ Please Post below  and share your thoughts . Can be as simple as Yes  and your name  and date  you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior.

 I would  love to rejoice over  the Most important thing  you  could ever  do in  your lifetime .    I would also encourage  you  to record the date you accepted  Christ  in your  Bible,  somewhere  that you  can see it  easily .This will serve as a reminder  that you are  a child  of God   and Satan  can Not  make  you  doubt  this  wonderful day  in your life . 

God Bless you !

Dawn

Dawn, you are amazing. I have just spent the better part of 2 hours absorbing your videos. I could listen to you all day. Then I saw the the side bar that asked if you are going to Heaven. I am so glad you are a Christian too. You gave the plan of Salvation. How cool is that!!! I have gleened alot of info from you tonight. I have been doing this for about 1 1/2 years. I do it because I truely love making cards. My husband is the Director of Adult Ministry at Westorver Hills Assembly of God (whag.net). On Monday I do a card class for the seniors 55-and up. They will leave me a donation for the supplies and all are happy by the end of class. Continue to do what you do because you are by far the best I have seen. Thanks for all the tips and I will continue to stop by.
See you on the way UP!!! :)

Dawn
What a beautiful testimony to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is truly my passion as well, and I don't get out of bed until I give Him the glory and ask that His Will be done for the day! You surely have shown that testimony each day on your blog!
Thank you sister!

[Barbara Story]

Dawn, Thank you so much for giving us such inspiration. There is nothing I can add but THANKS because I agree with all the comments above. You are a wonderful person and I truly thank God for you and your thoughtfullness!!!

[Bridget W]

Dawn, Yes!!! And I also want to say great job on getting the word out. So many people now days just have no clue!! So I hope that after reading your blog they are as inspired as I was and are. Please pray for my husband, hes been off work since Nov due to a back injury and will be having surgery this month. Pray he gets through the surgery fine and heals fast so he can get back to his job. Bridget

Hugs & Prayers

Thank you for clearly and accurately presenting the Good News. I accepted Christ as Savior when I was 7 and, just as another blogger commented, I strayed away during my teen age years. However, that moral compass thankfully kept me from straying too far left of center and ruining my life with sex, alcohol or drugs.
I rededicated my life to Christ and space does not permit a recounting of God's grace and goodness to me.

[Julie]

Yes,I accepted Jesus as my Savior when I was 9 years old. I would like to meet you here on earth yet,but for sure look forward to meeting and seeing you in Heaven! Thank you for being bold and taking a stand for the Lord and extending it to anyone and everyone who reads your blog. A special speaker at our church today encouraged us to be soul-winners. That's what you are! I praise God for you Dawn!!

[Noaleen]

Yes Dawn I will meet you in Heaven because as God is my witness I won't meet you on earth, we live in different parts of the world.
I have known God all my life but have wondered off the path for quite a few years, then about three years ago I found the right path again and Glory be to God he gives me peace.
I have watch your videos and what a wonderful way to spread the word of God.
Bless you from Australia

[Sue Ring]

Dawn I love how you always put the Lord first; even before your stamping on your site. He is glorified through you. He shines through you in every way. I've never met you on earth, but for sure in heaven!!!!! I bet you are so excited for your upcoming visit from Shelli. I saw on her blog that she is headed to Michigan. Have a fabulous time with her. You so earned it!!!

Hallelujah! We will meet one day. Nov. 12, 1968...so I am 41 years old in the Lord...57 in earthly years.
Can hardly wait to see family & friends again in the presence of our Lord.

[Deloris Gilmore]

Dawn, What a wonderful statement from HUBBY brought tears to my eyes and had to respond.
He has to be a very special man and yes we all need to reach out and keep CHRIST on the
front burner. Sad that our schools have strayed from PRAYER etc. But I was in school in the late 40's and early 50's and we strated our day reading the BIBLE and SAYING THE LORDS PRAYER. PRAISE THE LORD.

SEE YOU IN HEAVEN
Deloris

Hi Dawn,

I've been watching your videos on Youtube and have just decided to visit your blog. Imagine my delight to discover that you are a Christian believer!

I was born again 25 years ago so I will see you in heaven!

May the Lord bless you richly, and enable you to continue to bring joy to others, and to share your faith with them as well.

[Lorraine Cooke]

Hey Dawn, great videos on Youtube. I clicked on to your site and am thrilled to see "are you going to Heaven?" I am indeed, thanks to my Saviour who has personally paid for my sins. He has done many wondrous things in my life and my faith is growing stronger day by day. Also, I am growing stronger as I stand up to be counted as a Christian, an area I still struggle with. I'm glad to know I will one day meet you in person. Thanks for adding your faith to your website.

Blessings from Australia

[Adriana Morales]

I was thrilled to find out that you're a Christian and not ashamed to share your faith. I pray God will bless your ministry as you reach out to others through your amazing gifts and talents. May many come to the saving grace of our precious Lord and Savior through this site. Bless you sister and see you in heaven!

[Carol]

Dawn, I have been getting your e-mail newsletter for quite a long time. Tonight is the first time I found "Dawn's Testimony" on the sidebar and decided to click on it. I knew you were a special, loving, creative, and caring person, and now what a joy to find out we are sister's in Christ. Praise God for His Son. Praise God for using you in such a tremendous way to tell others about Jesus. Praise God for His Word which gives us direction for the journey as we travel Home. At the age of seven, while sitting on my mother's lap, I asked Jesus to come into my heart. Now close to seventy years of age, and the many challenges life brings over that length of time, one particular verse has been my solid rock daily. I share it with as many people as possible; known, unknown, Christians and non-Christians. "Jesus Christ IS the SAME yesterday, today and forever." HE NEVER CHANGES - He is my rock! Thank you dear sister for allowing God to use you and be assured He has done that. Yes, we will meet one glorious day at home with Jesus!

[Linda Warr]
