There is some that KGB said I agree with, some that I think heās way off on.
To say you have to keep the commandments to get to heaven is not correct. No one can keep all the commandments, we are too imperfect. Does that mean we shouldnāt try? No!!!
To get to heaven we have to do what John 3:16 says. Accept Jesus as savior, accept His death on the cross to pay for our sins.
That gets you to heaven.
But it also says to āstore your treasures up in heavenā. What you do after you get saved will be showing God how you appreciate what He has done for us. We will get rewards for doing what He wants us to do when we get there, while some will get to heaven by the skin of our teeth.
Many professing to be āChristianā are not really Christians.
I believe the Bible cover to cover. To not believe that way, then how do you pick and choose what to accept and what not to accept? You canāt throw out God creating us in His image, without opening up also throwing out Christ and his payment for our sins on the cross.
Thatās how I feel.
I KNOW I donāt ādeserveā heaven, and no matter how good I am I canāt EARN heaven. I am a sinner and sin every day. Even just ONE sin would keep us from heaven without Jesus.
I donāt like āreligionā, it is made up by man. If you put your faith in religion, you WILL be disappointed.
Put your faith in God. Thatās the only TRUE way.
