You know that you only have one life to live here on Earth. And you would like to prepare now for the after life. It is your personal hope that you will spend eternity with God the Father, and avoid being separated from Him in Hell for all eternity.
Steps
-
Obey the 10 Commandments (Exodus chapter 20).
-
Pray constantly, so that you will not fall into temptation (St. Matthew chapter 26, verse 41).Advertisement

Avoid committing the unforgivable sin. "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" (Matthew 12:22-32)". It is when a person denies the holy spirit to the point that their heart is hardened, that they can no longer hear the holy spirit. When the holy spirit talks to you and you cannot hear him because you rejected him to the point your heart is hardened, the holy spirit will leave you forever. Don't deny the holy spirit. Also, those that fear that they did commit blasphemy against holy spirit have not done so.

If you truely love God and do not die in a state of mortal sin, you will go to heaven. However, swearing is a venial (minor) sin, and you should try your best not to.
