What scripture says about the road to heaven

Walk through five steps of the journey, sit with the parables Jesus told about the Kingdom, and gather key verses to carry with you.
  1. 1

    The first step onto the road

    Faith

    Every journey toward the Kingdom begins with trust: believing that God is real, that He is good, and that He is near to all who seek Him.

    “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”Hebrews 11:6
  2. 2

    The gift we could never earn

    Grace

    Heaven is not a reward for the best people; it is a gift from a generous God, offered freely through Jesus Christ.

    “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.”Ephesians 2:8-9
  3. 3

    Turning toward home

    Repentance

    Repentance is a change of direction: turning away from what harms us and others, and turning back toward the Father who runs to meet us.

    “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”Acts 3:19
  4. 4

    The way of the Kingdom

    Love

    Those who walk the road of heaven are known by love: love for God that overflows into compassion for every neighbour.

    “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself.”Matthew 22:37-39
  5. 5

    The hope at the end of the road

    Eternal Life

    Eternal life begins now in knowing God, and it is completed in a renewed creation where every tear is wiped away.

    “My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”John 14:2-3
