Many of us think that the way to Heaven is to be a "good person" and that if we work hard
enough, be good enough or do enough good deeds that God will let us in to heaven. That's what ever religion teaches! Is God's decision based on a GOOD/BAD scale? If our good outweighs the bad then were in? So in just a wink of an eye will He forget the sins we committed while on earth? There is only one truth.... What does the Bible say about getting into heaven? “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7:13-14 And when He had gone out into the way, one came running up and kneeled to Him, and asked Him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone."Mark 10:17-18 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 Then in Romans 3:3 states it clearly: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and Rom 7:7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet." In (Psalms 19:7) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. (1Co 1:18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (Gal 3:24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. By sharing God's Ten Commandments with the lost it enlightens and reminds them that they have a conscience, CON-is (with), SCIENCE- is (knowledge). |
