Book Cover & Preview Text
You are not like other sinners: murderers, adulterers, stealers, or liars. You have a religion, you were baptized with water, you read the Scriptures, you fast and pray, and you do acts of charity. Nevertheless, you know in your heart that you cannot enter the kingdom of God through your religion and your righteousness. Cease striving to look righteous and godly. Come to the Savior Jesus and receive the gift of God’s righteousness by faith. Witnessing the miracles of God done to you and others, you believe Jesus Christ. God healed your sickness or disease in the name of Jesus. God helped you in your troubles. And you know that God is with Jesus and that He can perform miracles. … You must be washed by the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ to enter the kingdom of God.
Are you searching for the way to God? Jesus said, “I am the way.” Do you want to know the truth? Jesus is the truth. Come and behold the Son of God, full of glory and truth. Are you seeking the life of peace and joy? Come to Jesus Christ, and you will find eternal life. Come just as you are. You who have no good works can come to Him. The salvation of God is a free gift to everyone who believes in His Son, the Christ Jesus.

About the Book
The Pilgrimage to Heaven: How to Have Eternal Life and Enter Heaven focuses attention on two contrasting paths people may take through their lives: the way of indulging personal desires and the way of following Jesus Christ. Author John C. T. Kim provides honest and unsparing glimpses of his journey into the hell of his own creation and the rescue he received through the promise of new life through the gospel of Jesus Christ. His story invites greater appreciation of travails such journeys entail, while providing authentication for the witness he makes to the work of the Lord.
Four main sections share personal stories and Christian witness under the headings of “The Way of Man,” “The Life in the World,” “The Way of God,” and “The Life in Christ Jesus.” Explanations of key biblical terms, explorations of current cultural practices, and consideration of the Bible’s message combine to draw out the spiritual challenges of sinful living and to lift up the spiritual blessings of righteousness.
If you have found yourself wondering how you fell into captivity to the forces of evil, how you slid into poverty of spirit, and how you wandered into a wilderness of doubt, The Pilgrimage to Heaven offers straightforward and informed guidance for turning your life around, taking a step off of the road gone wrong, and making your pilgrimage toward heaven as a committed disciple of Jesus Christ.
