Knowing your sins are forgiven and
you are ready for heaven is as simple as following these steps:

is not in us" (1 John 1:8).

whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
(John 3:16).
...
C. Confess and forsake your sin.
...
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

II Timothy 3:16
The Living Bible
The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to
teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives;
it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God's way of
making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone.

"The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is,
the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous
will live by faith."
