You said — “Only when you’ve been persecuted for righteousness will you have a chance at heaven.”

Uhhh..., yeah..., right... I hope you don’t do your Christian evangelism that way.

For those who would like to know, the Bible is clear that we don’t just “have a chance” at heaven — we’ve got an *absolute guarantee* of Heaven with Jesus Christ. That’s because He’s provided the way for us, as a *free gift*. All we have to do is accept that, by our acknowledgement and acceptance of Christ as our personal Savior...

We see in Romans how simple the Gospel is, that is the Gospel that saves and guarantees us entrance into Heaven to be with Jesus Christ, forevermore...

Romans 10:9-10, says —

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It’s just that simple and that guaranteed for anyone who chooses Jesus Christ as their Savior...

The Apostle Paul says this about the Gospel...

1 Corinthian 15:1-11

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,

2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.

6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

And there you have it. I hope you present *this* to people for your message of Jesus Christ from now on...
