Assurance of going to heaven

I thank God so much for revealing Christ to me and make me realise that no matter how much good works i do to balance out my bad works (so then i would earn favour in God's eyes) would never be enough because God's standard is perfect while I failed to reach it because I sin. Not only once but keep sinning and keep failing to not to sin because its around me and tempting me in everyway.

How can I be sure then whether I am going to heaven or not since I keep failing to not to sin???

Doubts and temptations come and go in a day to day basis which might lead me astray eventually. Ways that I find helpful not to be lead astray by worldly temptations and doubts are being honest and talk about my struggles with other christians who i know would keep me accountable and rebuke me if they need to as well as reminding me to go back to God's grace and rely on God.

Pray about it and feed myself with God's word are also important in bringing me back to the right way of living my life. Ultimately, I think that me myself would have to change my heart and willingly want to change after being rebuke and again pray to God that he would soften my heart to want to change in the way i live my life because he is the only one that knows my heart and change it.

I cant do anything actually to earn my spot in heaven, because I am going to heaven not because I do something to earn it but because of what Christ had done for me which was paying for my sin through shedding his blood on the cross.

High priests in the old testament had to sprinkle blood once a year to wash away their sin and also the sin of the whole nation and it has to be done in the most holy place which can only be accessed by the high priest ( Leviticus 16). What a privilage we have now as christians because we do not have to do that again every year because Christ died ONCE AND FOR ALL people not just Israelites (1 peter 3:18).

How can I be sure then that I am definitely going to heaven??

• I have Christ now as my high priest who sacrificed himself for me thus I am sure that I am going to heaven through his death and resurrection :D:D
