1 | Who goes to heaven? | Rev 20:12 | Tan | 141576 | ||
Hello! I would really appreciate it, if somebody could answer this question: Does one go to heaven only if he believes in Jesus? You can't go to heaven only beacause of your good works do you? How would you explain why is that so? | ||||||
2 | Who goes to heaven? | Rev 20:12 | greentwiga | 141577 | ||
Hello Tan we were discussing this in Sunday school today. Rev 20 shows the system. All are given the chance to go to heaven based on their deeds. God opens the books, and shows that all have failed. None has lived up to the light they knew. All deserve their judgements. First though, God looks at the book of life. If your name is not their, He then looks in these books. If your name is in the book of life, God says the debt has been paid. Satan, the accuser says but, but he ... God says the books are sealed, the record has been thrown into the deepest sea. It is similar to when our courts seal the juvenile records. No one is allowed to mention them in any trial. Therefore, the free gift of heaven is really our second chance. Since we all had the first chance by living according to the law we knew (Rom 2:12, Rom 3:23) Therefore, none can complain that God was arbitrary about only letting those who received Jesus into heaven. Everyone had a chance and chose to not walk God's way. It is God's great mercy that He opened a second way and lets any people into heaven at all. Greentwiga |
