Many of us think that the way to Heaven is to be a "good person" and that if we
work hard enough, be good enough or do enough good deeds that God will let us in
to heaven. That's what ever religion teaches! Is God's decision based on a
GOOD/BAD scale? If our good outweighs the bad then were in? So in just a wink of
an eye will He forget the sins we committed while on earth?
There is only one truth.... What does the Bible say about getting into
heaven?
“Enter
by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is
easy
that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are
many.
For
the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to
life, and those who find it are few."
Matthew 7:13-14
And when He had gone out into the way, one came
running up and kneeled to Him, and asked Him, Good
Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal
life?
And Jesus said
to him,
"Why do you call
Me good? No one is good except God alone."
Mark 10:17-18
Jesus said
to him,
“I am the way, and the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
Then in
Romans 3:3 states it clearly:
for
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and
Rom 7:7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means!
Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not
have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not
covet."
In
(Psalms 19:7) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the
soul: the testimony of the LORD is
sure, making wise the simple.
(1Co 1:18)
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but
unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
(Gal 3:24)
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster
to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
By sharing God's Ten Commandments
with the lost it enlightens and
reminds them that they have a conscience, CON-is (with), SCIENCE- is
(knowledge).
