Are you sure that you are going to Heaven after you die?What must I do to go to heaven? Do all good people go to heaven? These are questions everyone has asked themselves at various times in many different forms throughout their lives. Most people think if they are a "good person" they will automatically be allowed to enter heaven after they die. Unfortunately, according to the Bible, that is not the case.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
"This is the written account of Adam's line.
When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man."
"Then Adam and Eve his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called Adam, "Where are you?
" But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will
" The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
" But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear."
"The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air, for I am grieved that I have made them."
"Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them."
Noah did everything just as God commanded him."
"Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD"
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son Jesus Christ that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
"In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence"
"In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace."
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
"The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.""
"This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
"They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again'".
"While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. "
Some people say that God is not a loving God because of all the suffering and death that he has allowed to happen in this world. The suffering and death in this world was, and is, caused by the curse of evil our ancestors allowed into it, by their free will, while we continue to feed it with our own free will. Just think of all the sin and evil you have allowed into your life and how it controls you and others around you on a daily basis. All the pain and suffering on this world is caused by people letting evil rule in their hearts and minds, these evil thoughts and actions, which are brought to you by the evil one Satan, dominate their lives and this world. We are suffering the consequences for our disobedience to God by not resisting evil and it's minions. We all should be living a righteous Godly life and doing good instead of evil in all things. We were never meant to suffer and die in this existence. We were supposed to live forever fellowshipping with God in his perfectly created utopia. We are being cheated by the evil being known as "Satan" and have lost our inheritance! We failed God, he did not fail us! God is not sending us to Hell, WE ARE SENDING OURSELVES TO HELL if we do not repent and life a Godly life! It is all up to us to choose Heaven or Hell by accepting the redemption of Jesus Christ with our own free will! Now we, this earth, and all the animals and plant life on it, are cursed until Jesus Christ comes back to restore what we corrupted with our sin.
"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage of decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God."
"Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever."
God will send down the Holy Spirit to teach you, guide you, and help you to live in this world of corruption.
" And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. "
When you pray to God always finish your prayer in Jesus Name ( "in Jesus Name, Amen" )
" Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. "
