Text Box: I'm going to use the word “FAITH” to help answer this question.

F is for Forgiveness. The Bible says we cannot have Eternal Life and Heaven Without God's Forgiveness. In Him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins. Ephesians 1:7 
A  is for Available. What is Available ? Forgiveness is available and it is available to all. The BIBLE shares with us; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, That Whosoever (that includes all of us) believes in him should not perish but have everlasting Life John 3:16. But forgiveness is not Automatic. Jesus said; Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, Shall enter the Kingdom of heaven Matthew 7:21 
Text Box: I is for Impossible. You say what is impossible with God? It is impossible for God to allow Sin into Heaven. Why you say? Because he said he would not and if he did He would be a liar. We Know God is Love as he shared with us in John 3:16. God is also a Just God. For Judgment is without mercy. James 2:13. We also Know Man is Sinful. For all( this includes everyone) have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Romans 3:23. So this begs the Question: How does a sinful Person enter Heaven where God allows no sin? 

T is for Turn. If you were driving and someone asked you to turn, You would be changing direction. That is what God is asking us to do. To Turn: change direction, to repent. He is asking us to turn form sin and ourselves. But unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3. This means all of us. While asking us to turn from ourselves and sin, He is asking us to turn to someone. That someone is His Son Jesus Christ. He is asking us to Trust Christ only. The Bible tells us that: Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1st Corinthians 15:3-4. God says: 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. Romans 10:9 

H is for Heaven. Here on Earth Jesus said: I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10. For the hereafter (after we are dead) Jesus said: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:3. 
Why did Jesus Say "if"? Because God has given all of us Free Will. If we are willing to accept Christ on Faith before we die, He will prepare for us a place with Him in Heaven. If we are not then that place is already prepared. A place called Hell.

How can a Person have God's forgiveness, Heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord? Its simple; by having F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking All I Trust Him).  The Bible definition of faith is shared with us in Hebrews 11:1  NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  
The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And God shares with us in Ephesians 2:8-9 For by Grace (God's love) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, least any man should boast. You see there is nothing we can do to earn God's forgiveness. It is a free Gift of God that we must be willing to accept through Faith. That God sent his only Son, born of a Virgin and lived here on earth in the flesh. Died on the cross for payment of our sins. Was buried and rose again on the third day. And is coming again one day to receive to Himself those that have Faith in Him. 

 
Understanding what God has shared with you today, would you like to receive this free gift of forgiveness from God by trusting in Christ as your personal Savior and Lord? 
If so it is a simple prayer you can say aloud no matter where you are. Why aloud? Remember God said we believe with our heart and confession is made with our mouth. 
Salvation Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and that you arose from the grave. I now ask You to forgive me of my sins and to save my soul. Amen. 

If you truly believe, it is natural to follow up with a commitment prayer. You see it is not the prayer that saves you but your true belief. God knows your heart. 
Commitment Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You for saving my soul. I do not want to be ashamed of You. Instead, I want to publicly stand for You before my family, my friends, and my coworkers. I also want to stand before Your church, with other Christians, as soon as possible. God lead me to the Church you would have me at, To grow in Your Grace and to share my testimony of Your Love, to grow Your Kingdom. Amen. 

If you chose to believe Congratulations. God has a home for you in Heaven. Feel free to share with me your decision at abraham@abidingfaith.net so that we may give God the Glory he is due and pray for you.
If not, you only have till you Die.
