There are over 3.5billion people in the world and about 150000 die everyday.now here comes the question.Where are souls of these people going to spend eternity.or perhaps i should ask you this lifetime question.assuming as you were reading these texts a missile drops around you and accidentally you die where will your soul be .Heaven or Hell.the bible says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27).,
difficult as that question may be,you must realise that you must answer it for yourselve.However you will be surprised to know that those things you just thought about now would take you to heaven would eventually land you in the lake of fire.These are your good works.Eg.Being a faithful church member,giving generously to the church,leading a good life.not stealing,fornicating,gossiping or even lying.the bible says "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).Now you see that nothing you do or try doing would help you make heaven.the bible goes further to say that you are a thief"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. " (John 10:1).
Confused? Do not worry now you will know what to do to get to heaven. There are 4 things you need to admit.They are
1) You must realise that you are a sinner.Yes the bible says that in sin did your mother conceive you.you might say that since you were born you have not sinned but the bible says otherwise "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." (Romans 3:10-12).Your sin have made you fall short of the glory God hence you do do not meet the requirement to get to heaven. I also want to prove 2 you that you are sinner."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). Here you may say that you are innocent of all those things that is written there but except one.LIE.So that make all of us sinners
2)Because you are a sinner, the penalty of your sin is death. "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." (Revelation 14:11).The bible says that the wages of sin is death.
3)You must realise that someone loves you and does out want you to taste of all the painful experience and so came and died for your sin and mine.That person is Jesus Christ.the bible say that greater love has no man than this that a man should lay down his life for his friends.Jesus called us his friends.He died to give you an opportunity to be with him in heaven "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8). Hell was meant for the devil alone but he is so wise that he does not want to be there alone that is why he is deceiving many people today"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" (1 Peter 3:18).
4)Finally and most importantly you must accept Jesus Christ as your only way to get to heaven not on your own works. He is the only way"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).Also "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31). Jesus died and rose again from the dead 3 days later and now he is in heaven interceding on your behave before the father.the bible says that you must be born again"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3
HOWEVER you may say i dont care or i an not a sinner,i have this for you"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. " (John 3:18). Let me illustrate something to you:)perhaps im your neighbour and at mid night when you were busy enjoying your sleep i just start banging at your door for you to come out for us to play cheese,what would you think about me?wont you think that i am so inconsiderate? But also assuming at mid night also you were sleeping and your apartment starts burning and i come and banged at your door and rescued you and your family.what would think about me.perhaps you will say i am a very good friend. Even when i interrupted your sleep but to rescue you.that is why i have created this blog to make sure i rescue the perishing from The gory excrutiating pains of hell.
But if you have admitted that you are a sinner and that you cannot save yourselve you need to say this prayer
Dear Jesus,i know that i am a sinner who deserve to die and in to hell.But i realise that you love me and came and died for my sins.I now accept you as my only way to set to heaven thank you for accepting me.Amen
