1 | Who really deserves to go to Hell/Heaven | Eph 2:8 | SabrinaS | 234451 | ||
So, say there is someone who commits murder/rape and then is "saved" and repents their sins afterwards. They go to heaven, right? However, say there is someone who goes through life doing nothing but good things for everyone, and never does a bad thing, except, they don't believe in God and don't accept Jesus. They go to hell? That doesn't make too much sense to me. | ||||||
2 | Who really deserves to go to Hell/Heaven | Eph 2:8 | DPMartin | 234458 | ||
The same happens to the murderer/rapist and the person deemed good by his fellows around him. (Eccl:2:14) They both die, or maybe better said return to the ground from which they were made. Therefore only God can change that, which requires a agreeable, peaceful relationship, which God has given through His Son Jesus Christ. Grace isn’t merited by deed, it is given of God through Faith. And even so, the Lord explains His view when questioned about the woman washing His feet with her hair.(Luke:7:36-50) He who has been forgiven much is thankful much, he who has been forgiven little is thankful little and if you noticed the Lord didn't turned away the woman's affections as to His Lordship. So it is apparent that the Lord likes repentance and the penitent. Those that are not Humble and think to have earned their own way into Heaven will find out that it is otherwise. Isa:57:15: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. |
