Question 2: How can a person know for sure that they are going to Heaven?

Answer: In I John 5:11-13, the Bible says the following: “¹¹And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹²He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. ¹³These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” Furthermore, the wonderfully familiar verse of John 3:16 tells us: “¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Both of these verses use the key word BELIEVE. Belief here is more than a casual or factual knowledge that Jesus exists – for even Satan and his demons believe that Jesus is real (James 1:19). The belief referred to in these two passages come from the Hebrew words pisteuo and peitho – meaning to commit myself to Him – to fully trust in Him for salvation. It means to believe in Jesus in such a way that I actually turn away from sin and idols and false religion to receive Jesus Christ as my ONLY Lord and Saviour. Another aspect of belief is that of being confident and fully persuaded that Jesus Christ is who we said He was and that He can and will save you from your sins. Belief like this eliminates any basis of works for our salvation because one believes that faith and trust in Jesus alone is their only hope for salvation. When a person commits their life to Jesus in this fashion, the Bible tells us that eternal life/Heaven is certain…”that ye may know that ye have eternal life…and…should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
