Come to think of a Better World We are Dreaming of..."Sure there are too much instances that we have to deal, but let Us not forget what God did for Us... This Life we are having now is a God's Gift for mankind...
If you have time to read..Pls. Go Ahead... You can 'KNOW' you are going to Heaven! Have you ever wondered about life and if..... there really is a life after death? Maybe there isn't But what if there is? You CAN KNOW you are going to Heaven!This site is not sponsored by any church or religious organization. If you don't KNOW that you are going to Heaven, there is a good chance that you are not. Just some thoughts for your consideration.IF!· If Heaven is real and hell is real, (maybe they're not) but IF they are real, is it worth the chance that you might spend an Eternity in hell? · If you could KNOW that you were going to Heaven would you want to? · Is there someone you know or care about that you would not want to go to hell, IF hell IS real? Here is how you can KNOW you are going to Heaven. First let me tell you where I am coming from. (see if you can relate.) All my life I was told..."Don, if you do this you are going to hell, if you do that you are going to hell, if you don't do this you are going to hell, if you don't do that you are going to hell" I figured I was going to hell anyway, so why not just live it up and when I die and go to hell all my friends will be there anyway... so we will just air condition the place and skate around on the ice. I was LIED To!I was told that things like this""If you commit Suicide" you won't go to HeavenIf you don't obey your parentsIf I didn't go to churchIf I.... If I..... If I..........Can you relate? Let's put away our Religious Heads for just a moment.. And just Reason it out."This is TOO important!" 1st ~ Realize that Heaven is not a reward and Hell is not a punishment. They are places. 2nd ~ You don't have to be good to go to Heaven...."You have to be PERFECT" 3rd ~ Don't worry, you are not perfect, but God has a way. (Keep reading and you will see.) 4th ~ "THINK" let's REASON... Forget Religion for a Moment.Ask yourself this question. "How MANY sins did Christ pay for when He died on the cross?"Focus on the phrase.."How Many" . The Bible says He paid for "ALL" sin. (Past, Present and Future) Ok. If He paid for "ALL" sin and if we accept that payment.... How many are left for us to pay for? None ! And if ALL our of our sins have been paid for then we can go to Heaven, not because we deserve it but because the price was paid for us when Jesus died on the cross."SIN!", Now that's is a good word. What is Sin Anyway?Most of us would say, I don't sin or I'm not that bad. Or what gives you the right to call me a sinner?God says sin is anything we do the would cause us to ..."MISS THE MARK!" In this case... the MARK is perfection. The Bible says in Romans 6:23 "The wages (or payment) for sin is Death." THINK! ...If there was sin in Heaven, then there would be death in Heaven.Now, I know you are not perfect, no one is or was or will be except for JESUS.That is why Jesus died on the cross... To pay for all of OUR sins, not His. Too Simple? Sorry, I didn't make the rules. It's God's ball game and He made the rules. So it doesn't matter if you are Rich, Poor, Black, White, Tall, Short, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, etc. You can't earn your way to Heaven. It is a FREE gift. You don't work and try to be good to get to Heaven, you try because you ARE going to Heaven. You will do more out of love than out of fear. When I first heard this I ask the following question..." Do you mean to tell me that if I believe that Jesus died on the cross for all MY sins, I can live as I please and still go to Heaven?" Listen to the answer I got. It changed my life. If he had said.... "No, you must do this or that or stop this or that." I would have turned away and just gone on with life. BUT he said... "Son, that's a crude way to put it....But God loved you that much." Yes, I am going to Heaven because of what Jesus did for me when He died on the cross. I now have the rights of a Son, but God now has the rights and responsibility of a Father to instruct and discipline. But His punishment will not be to kick me out. He loves me, and He loves you.Look up the following verses in the Bible: · Romans 3:23..."For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" ("ALL" includes you and me.)· Romans 6:23..."For the wages (payment) of sin is death." ("Death", separation from God for Eternity.)· II Corinthians 5:21... "For HE (God) has made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (The perfection Righteousness we need to go to heaven is GIVEN to us by God because of what Jesus did.)· Ephesians 2:8, 9... "For by grace (God's mercy) are we saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, "NOT OF WORKS" lest any man should boast." (You cannot earn your salvation by either doing something or NOT doing something.)· I John 5:13... "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may KNOW that ye have ETERNAL life..." You see.... "God sent not His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."... (John 3:17)"Still Not Sure?" Look at this Time~LineJohn 6:47 says: "Most assuredly I say unto you, he that believeth on Me HAS EVERLASTING Life" 2000 Years Ago Tomorrow Next Week Next Year or 10 Yrs From Now Heaven or Hell The FutureEternity
Time Line Today's Date Time Line Time Line 1st. 2nd. 3rd. 4th.
Look again at the 'Time~Line' above. 1st. Jesus died on the cross about 2000 years ago. 2nd. Today, If you believe the fact that Jesus died on the cross for all of your sins, then the moment you believe God promises to give you Eternal life. 3rd. If you are given Eternal life Today, then you would have it tomorrow, next week, next year and at the time of your death. 4th. If there were anything, again I stress 'ANYTHING' you could do to lose it.....it wouldn't be Eternal. Question? How long is "Everlasting?" It means forever. NOT just for a little while. Think If you could lose it, it wouldn't be Everlasting. It would be temporary or life until you sinned again. Also When does it say we HAVE this Everlasting Life? ANSWER: "When we believe" Look at the verse again.. "...he that believeth on me, HAS, (possesses right now) Everlasting Life." That is forever! Period!
I didn't say that..... Jesus did!Man...., I have no axe to grind. I don't make any money by you considering this. I'm going to be in Heaven no matter what you do. But, even though I don't know you, I had to share with you something that I found out.Ask yourself....."What do you have to lose." If it's not true...Then nothing matters anyway. Want to KNOW you are going to Heaven? Then pray something like this: "Father I don't know it all," (no one does) "But the best I know how, I accept the payment that Jesus made for me when He died on the cross. Thank you for loving me and giving your Son to die in my place. I now confess to you that Jesus is Lord and that He died and rose again. I invite you into my life and ask you to help me become what you would have me to be. In the name of Jesus I pray this prayer. " If you prayed that prayer and meant it, according to God's word you will be in Heaven. Now thank him for what He has done.
