To be covered by the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of sin to be able to go to heaven with Jesus when He calls those that are His own by faith in Him. Believing and receiving the gift He gives of forgiveness of sins and eternal life with Him in heaven. The time of the 7 year tribulation on earth is drawing near. Be ready to go to heaven by being saved.
