My testimony:

I was your average, hard working, “nice guy.” Single at the time, had a decent job and would have given the shirt off my back. Whenever I thought about life after death I had no fears at all. After all, I believed in God and Jesus… and I thought I was a pretty good person. I was brought up a Catholic. I felt that if anyone could end up in Heaven, I probably would. But was I ever wrong. Let me explain by asking you a couple of questions…
Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we’ve only looked at three of the Ten Commandments.
What a shock! God didn’t see me as the “nice guy” I imagined myself to be… and he doesn’t see you that way either. Nothing you’ve ever done is hid from His holy eyes. Will you be innocent or guilty on the Day of Judgment? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty, and therefore end up in Hell. That’s not God’s will. He provided a way for you and I to be forgiven. Imagine yourself in a court room. You've committed some serious crimes. The judge sentences you to a million dollar fine. There's no way you're going be able to pay it, but if you don't you will spend the rest of your life in prison. However, someone steps into the court room tells the judge that he cares for you and that he would like to pay your fine. He hands the million dollars to the judge and the judge says "you're free to go. This man has just paid your fine." How would you feel about that man for doing that for you? Well, you'd probably be very thankful and indebted to that man. In the same way, that is what Christ has done for you. With His life's blood he paid your eternal fine that you earned for violating God's moral law. And what should our response be to God for doing that for us?
He sent His Son to take our punishment: "God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." He was bruised for our iniquities. Jesus then rose from the dead and defeated death so that in Him we can walk in a new and glorious life.
Your own so-called “goodness” can’t get you into heaven any more than mine could. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. He is the "Door," the only "mediator." There is salvation in no other name, so pray something like this: "Dear God, I repent of all of my sins (confess them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen." Friend, once you pray this prayer you will have received the greatest gift anyone could have. The prayer doesn't save you, but the humble heart of repentance and faith in which you express your true heart to Him in what He did for you on Cross, does. Jesus said, "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and then loose his own soul?" You can't take it with you, but you can take this with you forever and bank on it. Listen to your conscience and God's word.
“God said it, I believe it and that settles it for me. “ The word of God is true.
John 3:16“For God so loved world, that He gave His only begotten son that if you believe on Him, you will not perish but have everlasting life.”
