Believe on Jesus Christ!

 

Have you considered this question? Please continue reading for the most important message that Jesus Christ has for You!

 

If Jesus Christ asked YOU,

 

“Why should I let you into My Heaven?”

 

What would YOU say?  What would be YOUR reason?

 

Many would say:  I don’t know, or I have not thought about that. Others would talk about their good life, religious deeds, or not really ever doing anything “that bad”.

 

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?  It is important to think about this and be prepared. Jesus Christ knows everything that is in our hearts, thoughts, and what we have done-both the good and bad. 

 

WE NEED TO BE PREPARED WITH A BIBLE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.  We must understand that God has already told us the answer to this question. He has given us the answer in His Holy Book the Bible. Have you ever started a relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you ever believed on Jesus Christ? Consider the following Biblical truth to start that relationship:

 

 

1. We are ALL sinners and deserve Hell

• Every Human has broken God’s law at least once-

(Cursing, Lying, Lustful thoughts, thinking we are better than someone else, desiring what someone else has, Pride, hatred, not obeying parents, any sexual activity outside of marriage, stealing, worshipping self, other gods, or putting anything above God in importance are all things that go against God’s Word and Law). God calls these actions and many others sin.

 

Consider some of God’s Law-The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-17

And God spake all these words, saying,

• 2a I am the LORD thy God, 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Anything or anyone that is more important than God has actually become a god that we are worshipping)
• 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5a Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, (A career, money, entertainment, friends, a relationship, religion, education, or anything that holds a greater place of importance in our life than God is a god that we have lifted up)
• 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (When we use God, Jesus Christ, or Lord as a curse word this is taking God’s name in vain.)
• 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,… (God wants us to have a day that we use to worship Him and give rest to our bodies. When we choose to work instead of going to church on Sunday and worship God-we are placing work over God.)
•  12 Honour thy father and thy mother:...(We are commanded to respect our parents. We are to love them and take care of them in their old age. We are to give them honor. As children, living in their home we are to obey them. As adults, we should still greatly consider their opinions and advice before making our own decisions)
• 13 Thou shalt not kill. (Most would say, “Well I’m a good person -I have not killed anyone.”  Jesus Christ takes this commandment to an even higher level. He states that if we hate someone in our heart and we “wish they were dead” then actually we are guilty of murder in our heart- even though we have not literally committed the act.)
• 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. (This is referring to committing any sexual act outside of the boundaries of marriage between a man and woman. Jesus Christ takes this commandment even further and says if we look at someone and desire them- lust after them in our heart- then we have committed adultery in our hearts.)
• 15 Thou shalt not steal. (We are not to take anything that does not belong to us)
• 16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. (Deceit, Dishonesty, Fraud, Lies, and False testimony are all forbidden by God)
• 17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife,…nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. (Desiring anything that belongs to someone else is coveting. Wanting someone’s job, financial situation, home, spouse, and etc are all forms of coveting.) Exodus 20:1-17

 

…for sin is the transgression of the law.  1 John 3:4b

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10 

 

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.         1 John 1:8-10

 

• We could do everything right and live a very religious life-yet if we sinned one time-the Bible says we are actually guilty of breaking the entire law. We are completely spoiled and ruined.

 

• Therefore, because of our sin, we deserve to die and spend eternity in the Lake of Fire because of our sin.

 

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.  Ezekiel 18:4

 

For the wages of sin is death; Romans 6:23a

 

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.  Revelation 21:8

 

 

2. We are not Good Enough to Earn Heaven

• God is a Holy and Righteous Judge. He will not simply “Let us off with a warning” for the sin we commit. He will also not allow for a reduced sentence- His law demands that the person who sins- they will die. 

 

• We deserve to die and go to Hell for our sin. We must pay for our sin. God’s law requires death in Hell. 

 

• God requires a person to be 100% perfect and without sin to be able to enter His Perfect Home of Heaven.

 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23

 

• Nothing good we do, no religious works, no efforts we may try contributing will satisfy God’s requirements.

 

• Nothing good we do will erase the stain that our sin places on our record.

 

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.  Isaiah 64:6

 

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9′

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Titus 3:3-6
