The Million Dollar Question

The million dollar question: Are you going to go to Heaven ?

Here is a simple test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anyting or used God’s name in vain? Have you ever looked at someone with lust? It is considered adultery in the heart before God. Will you be guilty on the day of judgement?

If you have done these things, God sees you like a lier, thief, blasphemous and adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty, you would go to Hell. The same way that a criminal goes to prison, the sinner goes to Hell.

That is not God’s will. He sent his Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. Jesus took your punishment in himself. « For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. »

You have broken God’s Law (the 10 Commandments) but Jesus paid your fine. Then, He rose and conquered death.

Please, repent (turn from your sins) today and put your trust in Jesus and He will give you everlasting life. Read your Bible and obey what you read.

Justified?

Why do we need to be justified?

Because we broke God’s Law: Have you ever told a lie? Have you stolen anything? Have you looked with lust? Have you hated someone?

Then God sees you as a thief, lier, adulterer and murderer at heart! If He judges you by the 10 Commandments, you’ll be guilty.

What we need is someone who can pay our fine… we need to be justified before the Judge of the universe…

Justice can be served only in two ways: Either we receive our punishment, or we pay our fine. The Bible makes it clear that there is a place of eternal torment called Hell, that God reserved to punish humanity. As a criminal would go to prison, if you die in your sins, you would go to hell.

Our good actions cannot bribe the Judge of the Universe. If a rapists writes children’s stories while in prison, he will still be guilty of rape and would have to receive justice for what he has done. Our “good works” won’t save us in the day of judgement!

Do you know what God did more than 2000 years ago, so that you wouldn’t go to Hell? He sent His Son, Jesus, to pay your fine with his life’s blood! That’s right… the Bible says that he was pierced and bruised for our transgressions and iniquities so that we could be free from our punishment. He took it upon himself because “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

What you need to do is to REPENT from your sins, turn and despise them; and put your TRUST in Jesus as the only one that can save you and JUSTIFY you before God.

Get a Bible, read it and obey what you read.

Heaven

How can we get there?

Do you have to be a good person?

Are you a good person?

If yes, are you good enough to go to heaven?

Here is a quick test:
Have you ever told a lie?
Have you ever stolen anything (regardless size or value)?
Have you looked with lust at somebody else?

If you answered YES, you have already broken God’s Law.

If God is going to judge you by the Ten Commandments…

Would you be innocent or guilty?

You would be guilty! So would you go to Heaven or Hell?

The same way that a criminal goes to prison, a sinner goes to Hell.

That is not God’s will for anybody.

Do you know what did he do so that you won’t go to Hell?

God sent his Son, Jesus, to suffer and die in the cross- he took the punishment that justice demanded! Then He rose from the death and conquered it! You have broken God’s Law but Jesus paid your fine!

How can we get to heaven?

You have to REPENT of your sins, turn and despise them. Put your TRUST in Jesus as the only one that can JUSTIFY you before God.

Please, read your Bible.

Parachute

Everyday 150’000 people die.

This means that everyday, 150’000 people jump from the plane of life, into eternity. Many of those who jumped yesterday, never gave a thought about afterlife, but anyway; they jumped. Maybe they didn’t expect to jump at an early age or in good health, but they jumped. Maybe their success or plans took their attention and never considered the jump to come. The family members and loved ones of those who will jump today, might not be prepared to receive the news. In the last few seconds, since you started reading this blog, many people have already jumped.

The fact is that we all belong to the statistic: out of a 100 people, 100 die.

If we jump from a plane without a parachute, the Law of Gravity will make sure that we are destroyed. In the same way, if we jump into eternity without « a parachute », the Law of God will turn us into pieces.

Why? because he has given us 10 Commandments to follow and we haven’t. We will be guilty in the day of judgement:

1.- Have you loved God with all of your heart? Is He the priority in your life?
2.- Have you created a god that you feel comfortable with? Do you have something or someone that rules your life such as money, friends, relationships or work?
3.- Have you always used the name of God with respect?
4.- Have you always kept a day for God?
5.- Have you always respected your mother and father?
6.- Have you ever murdered? Did you know that Jesus equates hatred with murder? So, have you ever hated someone?
7.- Have you committed adultery? Meaning to have sexual relationships with someone outside of marriage or with someone else besides your spouse? Did you know that Jesus said that if you look with lust, you have already committed adultery in your heart? So, have you ever looked at someone with lust?
8.- Have you ever stolen anything? Regardless its size or value.
9.- Have you ever told a lie?
10.- Have you ever desired to have somebody else’s profession, wife, house, car, job, salary, looks? This is to covet.

It is clear now that the Law of God will destroy you if you jump from the plane of life into eternity!!

But God has provided « a parachute » to save you : Jesus Christ. God’s son lived a sinless life (kept all the Commandments) and died in the cross as the punishment that we all deserved. This is the great exchange: He took our sins/punishment and gave us his righteousness!

What you have to do is to REPENT from your sins; from every deed and thought you had against God and His Law. Then, TRUST in Jesus; put your FAITH in Him, as the only way to survive the jump to come. You broke God’s Law but Jesus paid your fine: you can be JUSTIFIED before God but you have to embrace the free gift of Jesus’ sacrifice on your behalf.

Everyday 150’000 people die… don’t wait another minute!
