THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION

Life is full of important questions:

We spend years planning for education, career, success, and retirement—but what about eternity?

At the end of your life, only one question will matter:

"Will You Go to Heaven When You Die?"

Nothing is more certain than death. One day, you will take your last breath, and in that moment, all the money, success, and achievements in the world won’t matter.

Are you ready for that day?

The Bible asks,

“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose his soul?” (Mark 8:36)

Many people assume they’ll go to Heaven because they’re “good.” But what if you’re wrong? What if, at the moment of death, you realize too late that you never truly knew God? And that your so-called ‘ticket to Heaven’ was either lost—or worse, a counterfeit?

The good news? You don’t have to wonder or hope—you can be 100% sure of your eternal future. God has provided the answer through Jesus Christ. So, let’s now address some other critical questions:

Keep reading to discover the truth—before it’s too late.

The Problem: You Were Born With a Fatal Spiritual Disease

Everyone is born infected with a deadly spiritual disease called sin (call it “SIN-666”). This is a terminal condition inherited from our first ancestors, Adam and Eve.

“Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.” (Romans 5:12)

This disease is a dark plague that originated from the devil, and as a result, it separates us from God—because He is holy and pure, and due to sin, we are not.

“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” – Isaiah 59:2

Sin isn’t just about the bad things we do—it’s about who we are. Our sin nature reveals itself in selfishness, pride, and disobedience to God’s laws. It also leaves us searching for meaning, struggling with hopelessness, and wondering what our true purpose in life really is.

Just like symptoms help diagnose a particular sickness or disease, sin can also be diagnosed. Sin manifests itself in our actions, emotions, and thoughts.

The following are common SIN-666 symptoms for you to contemplate:

Do you often feel lonely or unloved? → Sin separates us from God’s love and purpose.
Are you afraid of dying? → Sin brings eternal consequences, and deep down, we know it (Hebrews 9:27).
Do you worry too much about others liking you? → Sin distorts our identity, making us seek approval in the wrong places (Proverbs 29:25).
Do you battle any addictions? → Sin enslaves us, trapping us in destructive patterns (John 8:34).
Do you struggle with guilt or shame? → Sin burdens our conscience, weighing us down (Psalm 38:4).
Do you experience feelings of hopelessness? → Sin leaves us empty, searching for meaning apart from God (Romans 15:13).
Have you ever lied? → Proof of corruption.
Have you ever stolen anything? → Evidence of a sinful heart.
Have you ever used God’s name in vain? → Shows disrespect for the Creator.
Have you ever looked at someone with lust? → Jesus says that’s adultery at heart (Matthew 5:28).
Have you ever hated someone? → Jesus says that’s like murder at heart (Matthew 5:22).
Have you ever been jealous of someone or desired what they had? → The Bible calls this covetousness, which is idolatry (Colossians 3:5).

Even if you’ve experienced only one of these symptoms, you are infected by sin.

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” (James 2:10)

The Bible confirms:

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

Because of SIN-666, we are not only spiritually diseased, but we are also criminals before God’s justice.

The Consequence: Both a Medical & Legal Crisis

This disease leads to eternal death—total separation from God in Hell.

“The wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23)

The Cure & The Payment: Jesus Solves Both Problems

The Bible says:

“…by His wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Jesus’ death on the cross purchased the cure—His blood cleanses sin and restores our spiritual health.

In God’s court, your sins demand punishment—but Jesus took your place!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)

Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death.

But here’s the key—it’s not automatic.
You must personally accept His gift of salvation.

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.” (Acts 3:19)
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… it is the gift of God—not by works.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

How to Be Saved

It’s not about being “good enough” or doing religious rituals. It’s about receiving what Jesus has already done.

Pray This from Your Heart:

“Dear God, I acknowledge my sins and my need for a Savior. I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die for my sins, and I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I also confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and I surrender my life to You. Through faith (my belief and confession) in Jesus, I now receive Your gift of forgiveness, healing, and eternal life. Thank You for Your amazing grace and the gift of salvation! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Frequently Asked Questions

1.“I’m a good person. Isn’t that enough to get to Heaven?”

Even the best person still has SIN-666—which means they are spiritually sick and legally guilty. Good deeds can’t erase sin—only Jesus’ sacrifice can.

Plus, no sickness exists in Heaven! Since SIN-666 is a disease that separates us from God, we must be completely cured before entering Heaven. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse and make us fit for eternal life.

2. “Why would a loving God send people to hell?”

Hell was never meant for people. The Bible says:

“…the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:41)

But because of the biological warfare of SIN-666, every person born into this world is infected. If someone refuses the cure (Jesus), they remain spiritually diseased and cannot enter Heaven. The only alternative is eternal separation from God, which is Hell.

However, this is not God’s desire—He longs for everyone to be saved and reconciled back to Him.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

3. “Don’t all religions lead to God?”

Jesus made it clear:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Other religions try to treat the symptoms (good works, rituals, self-improvement). But only Jesus cures the disease (SIN-666) and pays your legal debt.

4.“Can’t I just ask for forgiveness without following Jesus?”

Forgiveness isn’t just about saying “I’m sorry.” It requires true repentance—turning to Jesus as both Savior and Lord.

5.“I’ll get right with God later. I have time.”

No one is promised tomorrow. Don’t wait—today is the day of salvation.

“I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
