34 | Am I Really Going to Heaven? How the Bible Says We Can Know

Click to Fill Out The Podcast Feedback Form Do you ever lie awake and quietly wonder, "Am I really going to heaven, and how can I know for sure?" In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we're talking about what the Bible actually says about who goes to heaven, not based on vague hope, being a "good person," or checking church boxes, but on the finished work of Jesus. This conversation was deeply personal for me as I walked with my mom through her final days and watched how God's Word brought her real peace about eternity. You will learn: What doesn't get you into heaven and why things like church attendance and "being good" can't save you What the Bible says does save us: salvation by grace through faith in Jesus alone, not by works Why Matthew 7's "Depart from me, I never knew you" is actually a warning about misplaced confidence in our own spiritual performance How the thief on the cross shows the simplicity and power of genuine saving faith at the very end of a broken life Why a loving God allows people to reject Him and how that connects to heaven, hell, and real choice How you can have assurance that you are saved and can't "lose" your salvation if you have truly trusted Christ This isn't meant to scare you or make you question everything. It's an invitation to rest in what Jesus has already done and to know, from Scripture, where you stand with God.
